New product, MediNotes Clinician SCM, chosen as winner among seven HIT nominees


/Arizona News Articles/ - SCOTTSDALE, AZ, May 22, 2008 - MediNotes Corporation, a market leader in electronic health records (EHRs) with more than 23,000 users nationwide, was awarded the 2008 "Hot Product" of the TEPR (Towards the Electronic Patient Record) Conference for MediNotes Clinician Supply Chain Manager (SCM). The TEPR Hot Product mark of distinction is presented each year to the most innovative product that brings the most benefits or positive change to healthcare. Entries were rated on criteria including company profile, product profile, infrastructure and integration, and product differentiation.

"Winning the TEPR 2008 Hot Product award for MediNotes Clinician SCM is a reflection of our commitment to continually offer software that evolves with our customers' needs," states Donald Schoen, president and CEO of MediNotes. "We recognize that supplies and medications are among the biggest expenses in managing physicians' practices, so we addressed this need through new software development. This new web-based inventory management program can deliver substantial savings by electronically tracking and ordering the medical supplies and inventory needed to deliver high quality, efficient patient care. We anticipate a high demand now that it's generally available."

MediNotes Clinician SCM, which improves contract compliance and reduces write-offs for physicians, as well as significantly reduces billing errors and operating expenses, includes the following features:

• Automates and monitors inventory levels based on appointments, orders, charting of materials and manufacturer shipping lead times to remind the user when and how much to order for appointment types and scheduling volume;

• Reduces over-ordering of products that may spoil or expire;

• Searches electronic databases to select, order and bundle supplies;

• Routes requests for purchase and shipments, and allows for electronic receipt and payment of invoices from manufacturers; and

• Includes a Dashboard that shows the cost of inventory on hand at any given time, along with other information that can be used to determine overall profitability of patient encounters and procedures.

MediNotes Clinician SCM can be implemented with MediNotes Clinician EHR, an award-winning .Net-based EHR, and MediNotes Practice Management (PM), which maximizes benefits through integration with appointment scheduling and clinical documentation. MediNotes will showcase its product offerings at TEPR during exhibition hours.
