iSALUS healthcare™ (Indianapolis, IN) and Idilus (Wheaton, IL) announce that Rockford Nephrology Associates, a nine physician network covering north central Illinois, and located in Rockford, IL has signed a multi-year agreement subscribing to the iSALUS healthcare OfficeEMR™ unified Electronic Medical Record and Practice Management solution. idilus represents iSALUS healthcare in the Illinois, northern Indiana and Wisconsin markets as a sales distribution partner. iSALUS healthcare, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model solution offers physicians one of the least expensive and yet powerfully unified solution for practices of any size. iSALUS healthcare has clients ranging from single physician practices to large group practices, and serves ambulatory walk-in clinics, sleep study clinics, and hospitals.
"We are just getting inundated by thousands of paper charts. We need a plan for paperless clinical documentation that is seamlessly integrated with our billing process. OfficeEMR is our choice because it is affordable and complete; it will be there for us at our satellite locations," explains Dr. John Maynard, President of Rockford Nephrology.
Mark Day, President and CEO of iSALUS healthcare, reports that there is increasing interest in native web solutions that avoid Citrix or simulated Internet access. "Why should physicians use the stimulus money to turn around and counter-sign their payments to vendors for large expensive equipment commitments? It makes no sense. We are committed to providing comprehensive and easy to use solutions for our clients that keep as much of their money in their hands as possible. We are the future, and more and more practices are beginning to see this reality." Rockford Nephrology will use the OfficeEMR solution at its main office in Rockford, IL as well as other IL satellite offices in Dixon, Sterling, Freeport, Sycamore and in Beloit, WI.
"We are very excited by the business relationship we have with iSALUS healthcare," says Michael Colucci, Chief Executive Officer of Idilus. "We serve physicians, their practices and hospitals in four states (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan), and we have studied the EMR market for years. iSALUS offers the first totally web based product that we have encountered that offers a unified data set for both practice management as well as all clinical information. Their highly secure and reliable hosting environment offers medical practices a cost effective alternative to the more expensive, but less flexible client server based technology that has been the basis of EMR technology in the past. OfficeEMR is the future and we are working hard to build a successful relationship with them in our market."
OfficeEMR is a CCHIT 2006 certified system. "We stand for our 2008 certification in June," reports Day, "and we believe that going forward the commitment that we make to CCHIT will undermine the arguments that only large companies can do what it takes to meet these rigorous standards. We believe that smart engineering, thoughtful design and a commitment to innovation make it possible for us to be successful in this market now. Adding Rockford Nephrology to our client base is an honor for us, and we look forward to Dr. Maynard and his partners being clients for many years to come."
