Innovation, Intelligence, and Timely Information for Clinicians with GMD

A wise person once said, “You can’t expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday’s tools and expect to be in business tomorrow.” From nowhere does that truth ring louder, perhaps, than in the healthcare industry. Though medicine is in no real danger of going out of “business”, there is no question that technology is redefining the standards of practice within our current healthcare system...and the one in the future.

Battered by competition and regulation, physicians and hospitals need to think more innovatively on how to exploit technology and data at a more optimal cost. Though the benefits of adopting paperless record systems are quite clear, financial barriers and ambiguity surrounding the issue has slowed the process of implementation. However, the goal of establishing a safer more efficient healthcare system is still attainable with the right technology.

Global MedData is a highly recognized and experienced provider of digital transcription services and modular EHR to hospitals and clinics worldwide. Since 1990, GMD has been helping practitioners to better coordinate care, avoid costly duplicated tests, and prevent dangerous medication errors through the use of GMD’s innovative, intelligent, and timely IT solutions.

“Physicians, hospitals and patients are not interested in data; they are interested in translating data into information for decision making. Information that doesn’t help them make decisions isn’t valuable,” explains Ravi Narayanan, CSO of Global MedData.

GMD’s iTranscript ASP Web application is just one of the many modules available for streamlining clinical operations and data management. iTranscript offers customizable features and a simple user interface that elevates the entire transcription management process into a virtually effortless procedure. Designed for seamless integration and total interoperability with existing legacy systems, iTranscript is one of the smartest solutions for doctors on the market today. Unlike many other EHR options costing hundreds and even thousands of dollars, iTranscript is extremely affordable. There are no upfront investment costs, there is no software to buy, and the turnaround time is fast.

GMD’s comprehensive transcription modules and workflow systems are customer-driven and customizable to fit the individual needs of both small and large practice settings. Clients of GMD will not only discover beneficial improvements in practice management; they will gain significant costs savings. Our vision to empower clinics and hospitals with cost effective innovation and intelligence originates through integrative products like iTranscript.

Alternatives to EHR: Fostering Smarter IT Adoption

Ask any physician to list their top concerns regarding EHR adoption, and chances are that you will find the term, “costs”, in the number one spot. That is not surprising, considering the fact that the average full-fledged EHR comes with a $50,000 price tag, not to mention, ongoing maintenance costs. The lofty expense and financial risk related to conventional EHR is quite a bitter pill to swallow for most doctors. As a result, many practitioners are searching for alternative HIT solutions.

An EHR with slightly fewer functions may be the best approach to going paperless…or at least a wise first step. Along with the advantage of lower-costs, a lightweight EHR is often Web-based, easily integrated and interoperable. When compared to the expense and complexities of fully-functional EHR, the benefits to a lightweight model are appealing.

Ken Beasley, CEO of a Tennessee practice, gave his take on conventional vs. lightweight EHR in a recent article released through Health Data Management:

[…] ”Where I’ve seen them implemented they’ve really slowed the doctors down,” Beasley says. He argues that most of these systems are too cumbersome to use, requiring doctors to point-and-click on clunky templates or type in their notes. A far more efficient method, he contends, is to continue the age-old practice of doctors dictating notes for transcription. Many records systems are so complex, he argues, that practices frequently use only a small fraction of their costly functions.”1

Global MedData, a technology and business solution provider based in the U.S., and in the U.K., has been equipping hospitals and clinics with affordable and scalable electronic transcription systems since 1990. Dr. Raj Patel, President and CEO of Global MedData shares the belief that automation can be achieved more efficiently with the right solutions.

“We stand behind doctors and provide the applications they want, rather than boggling them down with suites that they won’t use,” he states.

While technology proves to be a powerful tool for improving the overall performance of an organization, clinics should do their homework before jumping into a complex set-up. Statistics show 30% of practices that adopt an EHR end up de-installing it later. The key to avoiding such a costly mistake is to assess your needs and plan ahead.

“The success of EHR implementation is ultimately determined by how well it fits into existing workflow systems,” Dr. Patel contends.

Global MedData has designed their product with those factors in mind. The goal is to help physicians streamline operations and enable them to focus more on practicing medicine, and in turn, improve the quality of patient care. The company provides affordable technology and effective business solutions based on open standards, interoperability, seamless integration, and without upfront investment.
