EHS (Electronic Health Systems) Changes Name to SuccessEHS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- EHS – www.successehs.com, a Birmingham-based company specializing in physician practice management software systems and electronic health record (EHR) (sometimes called an electronic medical record or EMR), is pleased to announce they are changing their name, and the name of their flagship product CareRevolution™, to SuccessEHS™.

"Over the past 15 years we have distinguished ourselves as a customer-focused, privately-held company that is in it for the long haul. With the many changes taking place in healthcare we felt it was important to position our company for the future. As part of this positioning we felt it was very important for our name to reflect the core values and mission of our company. Ultimately it is our goal to make our customers successful, so we decided to match our name to our mission:  SuccessEHS," said Sanders Pitman, CEO of EHS.

Match Our Mission - Success for Our Customers

Our primary focus is the success of our customers. We align ourselves with our customers by dedicating ourselves to the achievement of each customer's goals. We infuse this philosophy throughout our organization, defining the company's success not by the financial growth of SuccessEHS, but rather by our ability to meet our customers' expectations and goals. That commitment to our customers' success is what makes SuccessEHS different from other EHR / EMR and Practice Management systems.

Customer Challenges - Success with Market Complexities

The healthcare industry is constantly changing, making it increasingly difficult for practices to stay current.   SuccessEHS thrives to help their customers improve their billing success, their profitability, their quality and much more despite this constant evolution. SuccessEHS provides a unique technical environment, called Success Architecture, that gives practices and community health centers the adaptability they need to succeed. The healthcare industry is constantly changing, making it difficult for practices to keep up with issues like conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10, PQRI, EHR / EMR certification, HIPAA transaction code set 5010 and Meaningful Use for ARRA HI TECH funding.

Lessons from Longevity - Success for the Future

SuccessEHS has been in business for more than 15 years. That kind of longevity creates a significant body of lessons learned and best practices. We help our customers with workflow, industry expertise on such topics as Meaningful Use, Medicaid, Medicare, claim payment maximization, coding and many other topics. We share those lessons with our customers, helping them to create success in their own practices and community health centers.

Keys to Our Customers' Success

Optimum Use – overcoming poor adoption of technology, poor clinical workflow and a lack of product flexibility is critical to implementing a successful EHR / EMR and practice management system.

Adoptability: Full adoption of the system is made possible by easy-to-use features such as:  Clinical Event Manager, the Executive Digital Dashboard, industry standard and customized reporting, claim optimization, front-office tools, rules-based scheduling, collections, interoperability with regulatory and industry standards like HL7 and CCD, an array of hosting options from SaaS (software as a service) / ASP, turnkey and hosted turnkey. These capabilities make SuccessEHS easy to fully adopt and therefore maximize efficiency and profitability.

Adaptability:  SuccessEHS can be configured to meet the needs of virtually any practice or community health center (CHC). High configurability in the system means that practices are not trapped into outdated workflows or work-arounds; automation means automation, not processing with fewer keystrokes. Practice staff adapts around such issues as Meaningful Use, Medicaid, forms standardization, pay for performance and more with the help of EHS University, market update webinars, email announcements and expert support.

Performability:  SuccessEHS enhances the performance of your entire organization by using the best technologies available:  via remote / mobile technologies like iPhone and iPad; speech recognition (by SpeechMagic); Common Order sets / lists; problem-focused and general templates by specialty; and clinical decision support by MEDCIN, Multum and CEM.

Optimum Automation – fractional automation leads to lack of integration, clinical alerts and financial control. Breaking the barriers of fractional automation is the key to eliminating manual steps and calculations that can be automated.

Profitability:  What if you can't use your practice management technology to effectively collect and manage money?  SuccessEHS enables profitability through automation that focuses on the processes that matter such as: front end payment alerts that require collections at the front desk, payor report cards that spotlight opportunities and negative trends and automation for patient accessibility reporting.

Attainability (of quality):  What if you can't use technology to attain quality metrics that are critical in today's complex healthcare environment?  SuccessEHS makes quality more than a distant possibility. SuccessEHS makes quality attainable with tools that: automate proactive treatment programs (both predefined and customized); alert physicians and caregivers when protocol compliance has not been met; and integrate PBM history and perform formulary checks.

Interoperability:  What if you can't use technology to connect to other systems? SuccessEHS has vast experience interfacing with major national lab vendors (LabCorp and Quest); regional and hospital labs (Bio-Reference, Southern Diagnostic, PAML, CPL, Interpath, AEL, CLP, RML, NPL, CPSI); and Middleware/In-house products (Chameleon, LabDAQ, Orchard, Fletcher Flora).  We have device-level integration with Midmark Spirometry and EKG.  We can send demographics (ADT) and pull back charges (DFT) for those using specialty-specific EMRs or EDRs (ONCOEMR, REDOC, Mediadent, Dentrix).  Want to interface with your radiology system?  We have experience with Emageon, Sectra and CareStream.  We can exchange a CCD with your HIE and send your immunizations to your state's registry (VXU).  We also have experience with collaborative reporting by interface to i2i. Optimum interoperability that is fast and intelligent automates external communication and eliminates the need for manual data entry.

Optimum Visibility – Seeing through blind spots in financial trends, patient needs and clinical compliance issues is the key to understanding the practice's inner workings and transforming data into knowledge.

Knowledgeability:  Turning data into Knowledge is not as simple as producing a few canned reports. It requires at-a-glance- dashboards for easy monitoring of key data, pre-built industry-required reports, ad-hoc reporting and the ability to twist and turn the data as you require (data mining)…made possible because SuccessEHS provides a complete data dictionary with Business Objects to make financial and clinical analysis as easy as drag and drop.

Distinguishability:  Distinguishing your practice in the community is a mark of success to patients and your peers. Making information visible to the right people in the right way and with perfect timing is possible using our Clinical Event Manager, a tool that proactively reaches out to patients with preventative care programs and better disease management. An integrated Patient Portal also keeps your patients informed and connected to you so that routine appointments can be requested and valuable information can be disseminated automatically.

Accountability:  What gets measured gets done; that's a simple concept but sometimes hard to put into practice. SuccessEHS contains comprehensive tracking and auditing. Processes are tracked and automatically documented so they can be audited and improved. Negative patterns in patient flow, staff workflow, coding and other problems can easily be seen. We partner with your practice or community health center to create a culture of accountability: using our skills to help you eliminate delays, reveal staff behavior and even prevent fraud.  

SuccessEHS - Your Success. Our Ability.
