The Waiting Room Solutions Obstetrics And Gynecology Electronic Health Record (EHR) And Practice Management System (PM) Wins Over OB/GYN Women Specialists Of Georgia, P.C. With Competitive Price and Easy To Use Interface.

Online, November 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Waiting Room Solutions® (WRS) (www.waitingroomsolutions.com), a leading web-based EHR and PM provider, announced today OB/GYN Women Specialists of Georgia, P.C. has selected the Waiting Room Solutions Obstetrics and Gynecology Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management System (PM) for its OB/GYN practice.

OB/GYN Women Specialists of Georgia, P.C., an obstetrics and gynecology practice founded in 1992, is located in Decatur, GA. Dr. Vintonne A. Naiden, MD and Michelle R. Jenkins, MS, APRN are the practice's primary providers, and both have over twenty years of clinical experience. In addition to providing diagnoses, gynecological surgeries, on-site testing and procedures, the practice focuses on education and counseling to provide its patients with a holistic experience. In the past, the practice used another billing solution for practice management, but the competitive price, easy to use interface and superior functionality offered by the Waiting Room Solutions OB/GYN EHR and PM has enticed OB/GYN Women Specialists of Georgia, P.C. to switch to Waiting Room Solutions as a superior alternative.

The Waiting Room Solutions Obstetrics and Gynecology Electronic Health Record and Practice Management System has been created by OB/GYNs to ensure that the software fulfils the needs of an OB/GYN practice. Some of the system's many features include an ultrasound report and image interface, a lab and pathology interface, ERx and medication management, order tracking, patient portals, and OB/GYN-specific procedure notes. To facilitate the charting process, the software offers obstetrics and gynecology CPT codes, ICD-9 crosswalks, comprehensive clinical content and templates. Standard templates consist of those for colposcopies, endometrial biopsies, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) prenatal and antepartum content, incontinence, infertility and pap smears.

Through the use of the Waiting Room Solutions EHR and PM for obstetrics and gynecology, OB/GYN Women Specialists of Georgia, P.C. will be able to achieve its goal of increasing administrative, clinical, financial and network efficiency. The practice can easily scan selected parts of its current charts into the new electronic records system, eliminating the organizational and special issues that come with paper charting. Since they do not currently have templates, the providers look forward to using the WRS OB/GYN templates to quickly chart their encounters into patient files. The software also supports the use of electronic prescriptions, which are more convenient for both providers and patients; e-prescriptions provide more complete medication histories and reduces pharmacy callbacks as well as time spent on renewals. Although the practice already has a website, it is optimistic that patients will be eager to take advantage of the additional features offered through the WRS patient portal. This portal allows patients to schedule appointments, receive reminders, and attain direct contact to their physician through the practice website. Physicians can also use WRS online features to communicate with patients and to access practice information and records from any location with an internet connection. This constant internet availability will strengthen patient satisfaction and will add convenience and efficiency to practice management.

In addition to all of these benefits, Waiting Room Solutions EHR and PM prepares the practice to meet the "meaningful use" criteria as outlined by the Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Meeting these requirements will allow the practice to be eligible for the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) stimulus package incentive program.

"Waiting Room Solutions has recently added exciting OB/GYN functionality, including a series of new templates to address the latest ACOG requirements. We have also several updated Gynecology note formats based on feedback of our existing OB/GYN providers," added Lawrence Gordon, MD, founder and CEO of Waiting Room Solutions.
