Praxis Electronic Medical Records Announces New Version 5 With Breakthrough in EHR Documentation

Praxis Electronic Medical Records Announces New Version 5 With Breakthrough in
EHR Documentation
Datum: Streaming Discrete Data from Free Text

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Infor-Med Corporation, makers
of Praxis Electronic Medical Records (EMR), announced today the beta release
of Praxis Version 5 featuring Datum, a tool that allows physicians to use free
text to create, store, and share discrete clinical data. The Praxis Datum
engine guarantees full qualification for Federal stimulus funds and is
designed to meet future 'meaningful use' guidelines.

With Federal stimulus funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) on the horizon, US physicians are gearing up to go paperless. The
HITECH Stimulus Act promotes Electronic Medical Record adoption by reimbursing
physicians for using a certified EMR. Those providers who fail to adopt an EMR
will eventually face Medicare penalties.

Praxis EMR allows physicians the unrestrained use of free text to document
medicine in their own words. All other EMRs are based on templates. While
most template-based EMRs do offer data fields with embedded codes, they
require doctors to select from cumbersome pick-lists. Datum seamlessly embeds
discrete data within free text during the clinical encounter.

Based on a unique technology called 'Concept Processing,' an intelligent
neural network, Praxis EMR becomes progressively faster and smarter by
learning from the physician using it. Physicians using Praxis 5 with Datum can
chart rapidly with complete freedom while also producing discrete data
required by third parties.

"This is a major breakthrough in Electronic Medical Record Technology," said
Clayton Reynolds, MD, FACP, a medical quality expert. "Until now doctors were
being forced to use template based EHRs to collect data for quality
improvement and reimbursement purposes. With Praxis they no longer have to,"
he added.

Datum is part of Praxis Version 5, and will be in general release to meet
CCHIT Certification and HITECH Stimulus reimbursements. Datum qualifies
physicians for Physician Quality Reporting Initiatives (PQRI), Pay for
Performance (P4P) programs, and enables interoperability with national
Electronic Health Records, without giving up the physician focus of an
Electronic Medical Record.

Using Praxis Version 5 offers a way for physicians to transition from
Defensive Medicine to Evidence-Based Medicine.
