Mediware Partners With FOTO - New Integration Between Rehab Documentation and Outcomes Solution
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) May 08, 2014 -- Mediware announced today that it has entered into a business relationship with Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes, Inc (FOTO™). As a result of this new relationship, Mediware's MediLinks rehabilitation software and FOTO's Web-based outcomes functionality will be integrated, allowing customers to better measure patient outcomes and improve the quality of care.
The integration of the two products will help MediLinks users capture demographic information, track G-codes and provides outcomes reporting. Mediware customers will now be able to examine patient episode information within the MediLinks software and, at the same time, leverage FOTO's ability to measure patient outcomes and benchmarking tools.
FOTO President Al Amato, PT., MBA, said, “This partnership will ease the burden of managing compliance demands from payers and legislation, as well as allow users of the MediLinks software more time to focus on patient care.”
FOTO's outcomes reports compare treatment effectiveness, treatment efficiency, and patient satisfaction by impairment. The company’s database is the largest and most valid external directory for rehabilitation that measures functional outcomes for orthopedic, neurological, work hardening/work conditioning, pain management, cardiovascular pulmonary and pelvic floor dysfunction patients.
Mediware clients will be invited to an exclusive webinar in May showcasing the integration features.
