Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists Deploys PatientKeeper to Enable Providers to Access Patient Records and Capture Charges on Mobile Devices

WALTHAM, Mass., and RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists (VCS), a leading cardiology practice in Richmond, VA, has deployed PatientKeeper® to enable its providers to have immediate access to patient records and to enter professional charges, anytime, anywhere, via mobile devices.

PatientKeeper is electronic health records (EHR) optimization software that integrates with VCS's NextGen® practice management system.  As a result, when providers are seeing their patients in the hospital, they can use a smartphone or tablet to immediately review the patient record and enter any charges for the inpatient services they provide, which are then billed through NextGen.

"Using PatientKeeper improves patient safety by putting the patient record at a provider's fingertips when and where they need it," Christopher Maiona, MD, SFHM, PatientKeeper's Chief Medical Officer, said. "Whether a patient is in the hospital for a scheduled or emergency procedure, all historical information about the patient is right there, on the physician's mobile device, at the patient's bedside. Providers appreciate the instant access and intuitive, seamless interface."

At VCS, professional charge capture is faster and easier with PatientKeeper because the system pulls in the patient problem list from the practice management system, so physicians don't have to take time to search for problems when they want to bill.  In addition, VCS is using PatientKeeper to reconcile professional charges and clinical notes to reduce missed charges, which directly benefits practice efficiency and revenue.

"VCS is using several mobile capabilities embedded within PatientKeeper to improve patient care and safety, as well as to improve revenue cycle management," Philip S. Meer, PatientKeeper's CEO, said. "We are most excited to add VCS to our customer roster."
