Sage’s efficient response to certification shows the company’s commitment to its tens of thousands of clients as physicians face the changing healthcare economy
Sage North America today announced that its Healthcare Division, which provides electronic health records (EHR) and practice management software and services to approximately 80,000 physicians in North America, has begun the process of certifying Sage Intergy Meaningful Use Edition as a qualified meaningful use solution, which will enable physicians to qualify for incentives under the HITECH stimulus package released as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) Act of 2009.
“In seeking meaningful use certification, Sage Healthcare is continuing to deliver market leading products to physicians hoping to achieve meaningful use, and shows our commitment to customers and that we are moving aggressively to help them move into the next phase of the new healthcare economy,” said Tony Ryzinski, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Sage Healthcare Division.
Sage Intergy Meaningful Use is a synergistic clinical, financial and administrative solution that empowers physicians to advance the quality and efficiency of care they deliver. The Sage Intergy family of products includes integrated practice management, electronic health records, clinical and business intelligence and tools for online patient engagement. Providers can access Sage Intergy from multiple practice locations, from home, or other remote locations either through a central patient database server, or as a Sage-hosted solution on a monthly subscription basis.
Sage Intergy easily tracks the details of a patient's clinical history, shares and manages clinical information and combines complex medical practice functions into easy-to-navigate menus. Sage Intergy features centralized financial operations including billing, reporting, task management, and fully integrates with EDI services, Sage Intergy Practice Portal, Sage Intergy RIS and Sage Practice Analytics.
Sage is committed to offering a meaningful use certified product in time for physicians to receive initial incentive payments, and backs that commitment with its meaningful use guarantee, which states: “Sage guarantees that the Sage Intergy Meaningful Use Edition will meet the certification criteria for Meaningful Use set by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information. Sage will modify that offering as necessary to maintain compliance. If we do not, we will credit you up to 12 months of software support.”
Sage has been providing ambulatory healthcare systems for nearly 30 years, providing practice management solutions, electronic health records and other services to streamline patient care, as well as is a leading supplier of business management software and services, serving more than 6.2 million small and midsized business customers worldwide.
