Anesthesia Business Consultants to Demonstrate the Power of MetaVIsion at HIMSS Conference with iMDsoft

JACKSON, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Join Anesthesia Business Consultants (ABC), along with iMDsoft at the HIMSS11 Annual Conference & Exhibition, February 20-24th, 2011 in Orlando. HIMSS, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, is transforming healthcare through IT. Stop by Booth #1050 at the Orange County Convention Center, West Building and learn all about MetaVision, the technologies ABC offers, and what they can do for your practice.

ABC is the largest physician billing and practice management company in the US, specializing exclusively in the practice of anesthesia and pain management. Their partnership with iMDsoft, a global leader in hospital-wide clinical information systems, allows ABC clients use of the powerful MetaVision Software Suite. iMDsoft also offers ABC technology as part of its fully integrated end-to-end solution for the perioperative environment. The interface between MetaVision and ABC’s billing technology F1RSTAnesthesiaTM streamlines workflow and improves outcomes. In the future, this interface will include an integration with current ABC partner, ePREOP. This enables ABC to provide their clients with all the ROI and Clinical Decision Support seen on the preoperative side with ePREOP, in tandem with the robust perioperative benefits obtained with iMDsoft, an industry leader in AIMS services.

The MetaVision Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) builds on a decade of experience worldwide to support the entire perioperative workflow. It generates a complete and accurate anesthesia record containing all the information necessary for billing and features powerful decision support and analysis tools that promote patient safety, enhance quality initiatives, and facilitate cost containment, revenue capture, research, and compliance. The federal government’s stimulus package (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) allocated $19.2 billion for the development, deployment and use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) beginning in 2011. iMDsoft is pursuing certification of MetaVision modules as “qualified systems” within the meaning of the stimulus legislation. The legislation also requires end users to demonstrate “meaningful use” of a “qualified system.” iMDsoft has committed to help users of MetaVision extract the necessary data from the system to prove "meaningful use."

ABC will work with iMDsoft to give clients an opportunity to earn the certified EHR bonus as quickly as possible. ABC offers complete practice management solutions to optimize operational and financial performance for anesthesiologists. ABC's F1RSTAnesthesiaTM gives clients a powerful tool to convert clinical information into claims for reimbursement. The software supports electronic claims editing to ensure consistently high billing acceptance rates, and minimizes manual intervention in payment posting through direct remittance processing. Clients are able to access the details of their practice and to view trends securely online.
