Idaho Update
The first Pilot Program release is ready! This has been a long time coming, but the end result is definitely worth the wait. Idaho is the most significant update since the product's inception and we believe that it will be the start of a new revolution in the way data is analyzed.
Preparing for Idaho
Deploying software upgrades and updates to your Microsoft infrastructure can be a difficult and lengthy task. With many of Microsoft’s systems getting close to the end of their life cycle and the pending release of Idaho, you may begin to consider the advantages of upgrading.
Client Access Center and Web Presentation Center - Security Best Practices
Security Best Practices was developed based on three essential pillars: object design, implementation and maintenance. Security is a process, not a product. The establishment and control of security is an important element of Precision.BI. The security model provides flexible means for assuring the confidentiality of your data, as well as controlling the function and integrity of Precision.BI.
Increasing Revenue - Are Ancillary Services the Answer?
As expenses rise and reimbursements decline or, at best stay the same, many practices are searching for new ways to increase revenue. You've "tightened your belt" as much as possible to reduce expenses, increased office hours and patient visits, and made sure that the billing and collections staff is collecting every possible dollar. Then what?
E&M Coding Curves
There are specific guidelines that providers must follow to determine the appropriate E&M code and the medical documentation must support the code that is used for each office visit. In order to ward off compliance problems or leave reimbursement money on the table, your organization should make sure that the providers get to know their own E&M utilization curve.
