AcerMed team’s extensive industry experience and understanding of
the market is its most valuable asset besides its revolutionary
software product. The management team as well as the support and
training staff have years of experience in automating workflow of
thousands of healthcare providers nationwide.
Proprietary Specialty-driven Clinical knowledgebase and
Pathways
AcerMed has invested copious amounts of resources in developing a
library of Clinical knowledgebase and Pathways each specifically
designed for a certain medical specialty. These clinical pathways
would reside in the EMR system as its initial knowledge base. This
allows for rapid deployment of the EMR module, which could create a
big advantage over competition.
Proprietary Product Advantages
Besides the many technical features that contribute to AcerMed
software’s comprehensiveness, the following lists just a few other
aspects that make AcerMed’s solution superior.
a. One single solution for complete workflow automation
Unlike most competitors, AcerMed’s solution goes beyond Electronic
Medical Record (EMR) to automate the whole workflow of a medical
practice including scheduling and practice management. This eliminates
the need to use multiple software and the inherent problems associated
with data integration, duplication of data entry, multi-vendor support
issues, etc.

Workflow of a typical medical office includes:
Scheduling
for a physician or a resource
Patient registration and demographics
Monitoring exam rooms and
patient flow
Nurse’s tasks such as recording vitals and chief complaints
Providers charting the patient’s visit including history, exam,
diagnosis, and treatment plan.
Transmitting provider’s orders to labs, pharmacies, etc.
Referral Letters to
other physicians
Billing to insurance companies and patients
Posting Payments
Accounts
Receivables and Collections
Patient Recalls
Acermed delivers all functions in one single application avoiding
all the pitfalls and problems associated with multiple software
applications.
b. Leading Edge Technology
AcerMed’s new product takes advantage of the state-of-the-art
Microsoft technology including Microsoft SQL Database Engine,
.NET environment, XML standards, and C #
language.
In addition, AcerMed’s software application takes advantage of the
latest in wireless technology to create mobility. AcerMed’s
clients use wireless computer pen tablets for patient charting.
ODBC and MDAC database interfaces allows for easy exchange of data
with programs like Microsoft Word, Excel or Access. Additionally, open
database allows for easy customization and data integration with other
software applications.
c. Interoperability
Interoperability will allow providers to exchange necessary patient
information, even if they are on different EMR systems. Information
exchange among these participants will be instant and seamless. New
government initiatives such as Continuity of Care Records (CCR) and
Electronic Health Record (EHR) initiatives which are forcing the
standardization of exchanging medical information will evolve
Interoperability so that patients may eventually move from physician
to physician without the delay and cost of moving paper. More accurate
treatments, lower costs and better outcomes can be realized.
The Continuity of Care Record (CCR) is a document that summarizes
patients’ health information so that it can be shared with multiple
providers. CCR is seen as a major step toward universal adoption of
electronic health records. As a standards-setting organization readies
publication of a common framework for such records, AcerMed is ready
to embrace the standards and incorporate them into its product. The
standard could be publicly available by fall of 2005.
d. User Customizable
AcerMed’s software solution is flexible and easily customizable by
the end user to fit every practice’s needs and to support diverse
workflows. For example, the clinical pathways that reside in the EMR
system as its initial knowledge base can be easily modified by
clinicians with virtually no programming experience to accommodate
personal styles of charting.
e. Accessibility
In the medical office, information is accessible by the whole care
team instantly, and simultaneously, while maintaining security and
HIPAA compliance.
From remote locations, information can be securely accessible when
needed and where needed.
