FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 5, 2007
BEND, Oregon—Unifi
Technologies, Inc., of Bend, Oregon, a provider of web-based
solutions for the Medical Industry, today announced the release
of the latest version of
Unifi-Med
.
Unifi-Med is a 100% Internet-based, fully-integrated,
Electronic Medical Records and Practice Management solution.
Unifi-Med provides easy and secure access to a complete
suite of capabilities by providers, clinic staff, and patients,
anytime; from anywhere internet access is available.
Initially,
Unifi-Med will be offered to all Healthcare providers in
North America.
Unifi-Med invokes the “Software as a
Service” (SaaS) model, eliminating the need for client
software or computer servers, and the staff required to manage
them, on the clinic premises. The SaaS delivery method
along with Unifi’s “pay as you go” pricing
allows providers to get up and running on
Unifi-Med with no up-front costs. All information is
stored in
Unifi-Med's
state-of-the-art, secure, redundant data centers.
Information is transmitted over secure, "strongly encrypted",
Internet connections. Customers will have a
fully-integrated suite: Electronic Medical Records, Practice
Management, Billing and Accounts Receivable. In addition,
customers may choose to outsource their Billing and Accounts
Receivable activities to Unifi Technologies.
Unifi-Med sends prescriptions directly to pharmacies,
making the process of dispensing medication faster and more
accurate. Providers can seamlessly transfer patient
information and create Electronic Health Records that can
combine patient data from any source, including those that use
different Electronic Medical Record systems and those that are
not computerized at all. Patients can access the
application directly via the web to view and request
appointments, initiate prescription refills, access their
personal medical records, and check the status of insurance
claims. In addition, patients can create secure and
private Personal Health Records, the combination of medical
records created at any number of medical practices along with
any additional information such as medical supplements taken,
dietary planning documents, and living wills.
Bendt Brodersen,
President of Unifi Technologies, Inc., states that
“healthcare information management in the U.S. is under
tremendous stress. Congress and State Legislatures are
working to solve problems related to managing patient medical
records, while at the same time, changes to Medicare and
mandates from regulatory agencies are raising the cost of
providing care and reducing what a physician can charge.
There is increased pressure on medical providers to reduce
costs while increasing oversight and mandating the use of
expensive technologies, driving some practices out of
business. Our solution meets the needs of a changing
market and changing regulations while passing the
price/performance advantages of modern web-based technology on
to our customers.”
