Acceleration to Meaningful Use 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) has created an opportunity for healthcare providers to leverage a portion of ARRA dollars.  Specifically, ARRA provides approximately $20 billion in funding for hospitals and physician practices that adopt a certified electronic health record system (EHR).

EXR is RelWare’s enterprise-wide electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) application providing a fully-functional, integrated solution across the continuum of care, in a single product, with a single clinical data repository.  EXR will effectively accelerate your organization's achievement of ARRA Stage 1 Meaningful Use, including but not limited to these measurable criteria:

• Computerized Provider Order Entry (Electronic communication of e-prescribed orders)
• Interaction Checking (drug-to-drug, drug-to-allergy, and drug formulary checking)
• Electronic capture of health information in a coded, structured format:
  • Up to date Problem List based on ICD-9-CM and SNOMED CT
  • Active Medication and Allergy List
  • Vital Signs and Charting
• One-Click to provide patients with their health information (Continuity of Care Document)
• Better coordination of care by tracking key clinical conditions and sharing patient data with other authorized providers and the patients
• Clinical decision support
• Electronic Submission of patient data to authorized agencies
• Reporting of clinical quality measures and public health information as meaningful use

RelWare is committed to obtaining ARRA EHR certification for EXR in 2010.  We will apply for ARRA EHR certification as soon as the federal government selects the authorized agents to conduct certification. In the meantime, we are testing with the current CCHIT test-scripts in anticipation of the certification process.

While you can purchase certified EMR technology from many vendors, how quickly and effectively will they get you to Meaningful Use?  RelWare’s unique EHR solution will accelerate your achievement of Meaningful Use in several ways:

Faster Implementation

• RelWare's Software as a Service Enterprise EMR/EHR (SaaSEE™) option provides the following benefits:
  • Accelerate implementation using our preconfigured products and standardized interfaces.
  • Eliminate the need for incremental data center facilities or infrastructure support staff.
  • Implement preconfigured solutions that minimize the need for time consuming process analysis.
• Web-based solution enables instant deployment to hundreds of users at multiple sites.
• Leverage current systems by interfacing EXR with all your current systems.  No need to replace ADT or ancillaries just to implement an EHR.  This saves time and money.

Rapid Adoption To Achieve Meaningful Use Sooner

• EXR can be quickly configured to match your Hospital Systems business rules.
• Each user can personalize EXR’s look and feel to complement how they like to work, their role, and/or their location.  Users have control over how they use the EXR, thus making them more productive.  This results in more rapid adoption.
• Since EXR is web-based and most everyone today is familiar with using the Web, training will take hours, not days.  This makes physicians more productive and saves them precious time.

Health Information Exchange (HIE) Ready

• EXR natively supports all the latest health information exchange standards.
• Results in rapid exchange of patient information with very little configuration required.

RelWare is committed to providing an Electronic Health Record solution that concentrates on patient safety and ease of use, in addition to satisfying certification requirements as set by ARRA and Meaningful Use. We strive to move forward and provide a solution that will satisfy all current and future meaningful use requirements.
