Tarrytown, NY (PRWEB) December 18, 2014 -- ENT and Allergy Associates (ENTA), the leading ear, nose, throat, allergy and audiology practice in the nation, today announced that it has integrated its NextGen Electronic Medical Records system with Montefiore Medical Center’s to create a single button protocol that will help quickly and efficiently refer patients from ENTA to Montefiore. Developing a protocol that will allow seamless transitions of medical information was the next step for ENTA and Montefiore, who recently entered into a clinical affiliation to advance pediatric care.

Customizing our procedure templates allows ENTA to stay current with the needs of our billing and compliance departments.

The new partnership offers pediatric patients in the Bronx and Hudson Valley who need hospital care convenient and uninterrupted access to both their local ENTA doctor and to Montefiore. Patients in need of hospitalization will be transferred to Montefiore within 24 to 48 hours. Post hospital-stay, coordinated care teams will continue treatments and additional screenings. The new EMR single button protocol will enhance the referral process to better address patient needs and ensure medical records are instantly-and securely-transferred.

Over the last four months, ENTA has worked hard to upgrade its EMR system and prepare for ICD10 and “meaningful use” measures, proving it is using EMR technology appropriately in measurement thresholds that range from recording patient information as structured data to exchanging summary care records. In order to achieve this, ENTA has maintained some of its customized ENT/Allergy templates, mainly pertaining to procedures. These provide for a higher level of detail and enable better documentation of highly specialized procedures.

“Our affiliation with ENTA will provide a greater scope of services from a multidisciplinary team that can help meet the needs of pediatric patients, particularly those with unusual and complex conditions,” said John Bent, M.D., director, Pediatric Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center. “The addition of this convenient EMR referral button creates instant access to patient information that is necessary to provide the best care possible.”

The newly designed single button protocol allows ENTA physicians to submit a referral to one of Montefiore’s doctors through an approved HIPAA compliant method of communication. Physicians at Montefiore will be able to instantly receive a patient’s diagnosis, relevant images, chart notes and the clinical description of why they are being referred. This innovative method is on point with government endorsed efforts to ensure more effective and efficient communication between hospitals and community doctors, and results in more convenient and timely tertiary patient care.

“Customizing our procedure templates allows ENTA to stay current with the needs of our billing and compliance departments,” said Richard Rosenberg, M.D., partner, ENTA’s White Plains office and Chair of EMR Committee. “We have our own custom workflow that we have developed into our EMR that houses all of our charges in a patient specific holding tank to be reviewed before being sent out on a claim. This ensures that our patients are billed correctly and in a timely manner.”

“EMR is a huge benefit for both local practitioners and hospital physicians, but we haven’t stopped there. We have gone well beyond customizing our clinical enhancements, to also offer an integrated patient web portal, a dedicated Patient Rapid Response Center for booking appointments and a Phreesia check-in system in each of our 41 offices,” said Robert Glazer, CEO, ENTA. “In totality, these moves have decreased our accounts receivables and increased our ability to collect co-pay deductibles. The revenue cycle management of our NextGen EMR system is now positioned to handle any challenges we may face in 2015.”
