About Medios
Medios EHR is the easiest to use and implement EHR system on the market today, adapting to the way physician's and their practices work. Since Medios EHR is fully web-based it provides immediate and secure access to critical patient information and physician tools that are not normally accessible via paper; such as drug interactions, clinical decision support, patient education, disease and patient population management. Because Medios is integrated to so many different entities, the physician has a more complete patient record at the point of care allowing for the ability to deliver an accurate assessment and diagnosis. In addition, patients are also given physician controlled access to their medical records and the ability to make payments and schedule appointments via the system's Patient Portal. Medios EHR is also fully integrated with Medios PM - Practice Management system, providing practices with the tools to have full control of the revenue cycle by automating the claims process, reducing claim rejections, and providing total management of the practice from check-in to payment.
Medios EHR enables providers to reduce their medical costs by increasing overall efficiencies, improve collection of clinical data, reduce medical errors, securely communicate with providers and patients, and enable reporting on quality measures. Medios integrated Meaningful Use Meter (MU Meter), provides physicians with a reporting dashboard that monitors and tracks Meaningful Use patterns providing real-time usage where practices can monitor their continued progress towards demonstrating and achieving Meaningful Use.
