MDS is proud to announce that they have signed a definitive agreement to resell the web-based Allscripts MyWay™ Electronic Health Record (EHR) and practice management solution.

“MDS has been working with healthcare providers – physicians and hospitals – since our inception 21 years ago,” said Michele Plenzo, CEO of MDS.

“We have extensive experience in the medical space, and we recognize and empathize with the challenges and frustrations health care professionals face navigating the world of IT – especially now, as the federal government and medical community are moving into electronic healthcare. We are proud and excited to team with AllScripts, the nation’s leading provider of EHR records and practice management solutions.”

The Allscripts MyWay EHR offers Electronic Health Record, practice management and claims management. The integrated solution automates everyday clinical and business tasks while electronically connecting physicians and other caregivers to pharmacies, labs, insurers and other key healthcare stakeholders. The Allscripts MyWay EHR is available via Software as a Service (SaaS) over the Internet or as an on-premise application installed on a server. The web-based SaaS approach provides additional flexibility by enabling physician practices to avoid many upfront and ongoing expenses tied to equipment, IT personnel and operations.

Allscripts MyWay offers many features that make it simple and intuitive for the user, including:

• Adaptive Learning:  The EHR learns and adapts to each user’s patterns and preferences, making workflow and charting faster and easier.
• Intelligent Navigation:  Relevant clinical content is automatically displayed based on presenting symptoms, even suggesting next logical entry options. Users can move freely throughout the application without enter/exit screens.
• Template-Free Charting:  Physicians can use their preferred workflow, so they can navigate wherever they need to in the application to document multiple complaints or easily handle multiple patients.
• Easy Customization:  Physicians and other caregivers using the solution can quickly change and customize screens to match their individual preferences.

“Medical practices are eager to enter the electronic healthcare highway, but apprehension over price, IT interference, and the effects an EHR will have on their practice can delay, or even halt, the process,” said Michele Plenzo.

“AllScripts MyWay is the perfect solution. It is cost-effective, easy to use, and designed in a way that accommodates each practice on a custom level.”
