Mercury
Healthcare International (MHI) has selected Practice Fusion, the fastest
growing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) community in the US for its Electronic
medical records system for its globally integrated health delivery system®.
EMRs and other information technology can
improve communication and patient safety if fully implemented in hospitals and
other healthcare facilities. For example, EMRs can help reduce medication
errors, avoid the need to repeat diagnostic testing, and improve continuity of
care across the healthcare system.
The
World's Largest Medical Tourism Provider Network
More than 800,000 participating healthcare
providers in over 40 countries and throughout the USA impaneled in the MHI
globally integrated health delivery system® will have appropriate and secure
access to secure, complete clinical information that is HIPAA and HITECH
compliant wherever they need it. Last
month, Practice Fusion debuted a prototype of its native iOS mobile application
for the iPhone at the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Practice Fusion
currently has iPhone and Android applications in private beta testing. When the
stable release comes out, the mobile solutions will provide MHI nurse case
managers, Care Navigators™ and medical
advisers a lightweight and secure way to stay connected to our global network
of providers and other medical advisers on the go.
MHI's network includes over 6000 pre-screened
and inspected hospitals, more than 4300 of which are in the USA, along with
over 750,000 vetted physicians, surgery centers, dialysis centers, physical
therapy and rehab centers, labs, imaging and hearing centers, substance abuse
and mental health facilities, and more than 65,000 ancillary facilities.
Records can be moved inbound and outbound enabling us to move more patients'
health information faster between treating providers and our medical management
teams.
MHI operates several offices worldwide where
case managers, regional medical directors, specialty medical advisors and
certified Care Navigators™ work to operate a health travel and medical tourism
logistics hub, conduct patient safety reviews and use medical records to
conduct extended outcomes measurements for health travel and medical tourism
patients seeking care in a location other than their home town.
MHI's core business function is to provide
employees of self-funded / self-insured companies and individual consumer
members the opportunity to access clinically coordinated health and wellness
services. High-quality healthcare providers
who are impaneled in its seamless, globally integrated health delivery
system®have been pre-screened, reviewed and inspected before they offer are
permitted to provide services in the USA and abroad at negotiated prices to MHI
clients.
Mercury Healthcare International provides cost
containment, disease management, global case management, foreign medical
records review and claims audits, and coordinates routine, urgent, emergent,
high-cost elective surgical care, executive physicals and emergency medical
assistance and evacuation/repatriation for its self-funded employer clients
with domestic, expatriate and traveling employees. The company also offers health travel and
medical tourism facilitation to individual consumers for services not covered
by their health insurance such as experimental, investigational and cosmetic
services, or medically necessary services not covered by a health plan that
have been deemed pre-existing and excluded from coverage.
MHI is an industry leader in medical tourism
continuity of care best practices. The company operates the only known global
medical implant registry to record and track implants of all types and brands
which are placed in medical tourism patients. MHI uses innovative and
well-developed outcomes measurement tools originally developed by Rand
Corporation to monitor, measure, and report functional, clinical and patient
satisfaction outcomes over a 36-month event horizon and to document continuity
of care.
We've not identified any other medical tourism
company that has even begun to apply managed care best practices and principles
of patient-centered care to their operational work flows. Most likely this is
because it is extremely rare that medical tourism firms in the USA and Canada
are operated by individuals with any medical or insurance industry background
or travel experience. Most operate as healthcare marketing companies that
simply promote hospitals and providers who pay them commissions for patient
referrals. MHI's strong acumen in the areas of managed care, case management,
predictive modeling, self-funded employee health and wellness benefits, travel
logistics and sophisticated infrastructure enable it to offer domestic and
international health travel options for employer groups of any size.
"The powerful and comprehensive Practice
Fusion EMR system will make our globally integrated patient-centered care
operations flow more efficiently and lower the cost to provide care and case
management services, says Maria K Todd, MHA PhD, CEO and Founder of the Mercury
Healthcare Companies. "We love the fact that we can also share the full
Practice Fusion EMR solution with our healthcare providers who have not yet
implemented an EMR so they can get their own system absolutely free of charge.
It made me grin ear-to-ear to learn that our system is more robust than the one
my own primary care concierge physician just implemented costing several
thousands of dollars. Ryan Howard and his Practice Fusion team are to be
commended for their innovative leadership in health information
technology."
