Agile Medical Platform Ideal for Small Office IT Management and HIPAA Compliance
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Florida Academy of Family Physicians (FAFP) is recommending Point of Care Solutions’ (PCS) Agile Medical Platform (AMP) to its members. AMP is an integrated, cloud-based virtual desktop solution based on MokaFive’s technology and Practice Fusion’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Designed specifically for small physician offices, AMP delivers a suite of applications that includes solution fully-featured EHR, e-prescribing, a practice-management system, office productivity tools, Internet email, direct messaging, document management, clinical decision support resources and access to payer portals. In addition, PCS supports its solution with a U.S. based help desk from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST.
FAFP members who subscribe to AMP will receive a discounted monthly subscription rate for the duration of their contract. These discounts are designed to complement federal government incentives, including the $44,000 in Medicare and up to $63,000 in Medicaid incentive payments as provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), for physicians who demonstrate meaningful use of a certified EHR system.
“The Florida Academy of Family Physicians is committed to helping its members select, implement and successfully use EHR systems to improve care quality and the overall experience for patients,” said Ira Pearlstine, M.D., chairman of the Quality Practice Management Committee for FAFP. “AMP is the perfect solution for many of our members who have little or none of the resources necessary to deal with the digitization of their practice. AMP provides them not only an electronic health record system but also all of the other resources necessary to manage a busy practice including the ongoing support of the applications, support for the IT network and support for the end point computing devices including workstations, laptops and tablets.”
Point of Care Solutions Founder and CEO, Douglas Malie said, “I managed physician practices for the last 15 years so I know first hand what it takes to run a practice. I wanted to take that experience and create a company to help keep the small, independent physician, small and independent in this rapidly changing healthcare environment.”
Malie explained that as healthcare providers are being encouraged to digitize their practices, privacy and security have become central concerns. By using MokaFive’s virtual desktop management technology, Point of Care is able to encapsulate practices’ software applications within a secure container that can be managed from the cloud, online or offline, on Macs or PCs. It isolates the practice’s computing environment and from the physical computer, so there is minimal risk of data “leakage” or corruption associated with protected health information (PHI).
“Since we decided to initially focus on family practice physicians it only made sense that we would seek to align ourselves with a prestigious organization like FAFP whose mission is in complete alignment with our own. FAFP quickly understood why our solution was different and why it made sense for their members to seriously consider.”
