Take a look at that census: it's familiar; it's comfortable. If you've used pMDsoft before, then you already know how to use it. And even if you haven't, carrying an iPhone for a day or two will tell you everything you need to know. That's because we followed Apple's conventions and standards when we designed pMDsoft for the iPhone, so it "just works" like you'd expect.
Because your pMDsoft census is shared with the other physicians in your group who round at a particular hospital, it's a snap to maintain from one day to the next. Your office staff can help out by entering consults, as well! Best of all, the patients are organized in a way that works for you, which simplifies your rounding and reduces or removes your reliance on paper.
Not only do you have access to a preview of each patient's clinical note, but you can see it at a glance as you flick through your patients. And we upload your charges and pull down patient updates steadily in the background while you're using pMDsoft, to give you the latest information while you're on the go.
pMDsoft boils down charge capture to its most crucial elements, which keeps it fast and obvious. We copy forward the essentials from the previous visit as a template, which means you only have to enter what changed. Even reordering your diagnoses or procedures is dead simple: you just touch the "grippie" on the right-hand side of the code and drag it to its new position!
Searching for an ICD-9 or CPT code to add to your visit takes mere seconds because you're already looking at a list of codes that has been tailored to your practice. The search function will match any part of the name or code, giving you a full range of relevant choices within a few taps.
It's misleading to call any software mobile if it takes ages to reload each screen, or if it only works in some areas. That's why pMDsoft went the extra mile to build a native iPhone application instead of a Web site. Unlike a Web site, pMDsoft is fully functional everywhere, even if you're offline - so you can get your billing done even in hospital elevators, remote nursing homes, or cath labs.
What happens when you leave the cath lab? Once you re-establish connectivity, pMDsoft picks up where it left off, quietly pushing information to and from the device. This gets the newest information to you and your partners as quickly as possible.
The fully-functional offline mode even allows pMDsoft to be used on devices that have no cell phone subscription at all, such as the iPod Touch. Large, cost-conscious groups may favor this approach because they aren't tied to a phone or data plan - instead, their doctors can use pMDsoft anywhere, and upload their work wherever they find a wireless Internet connection.
pMDsoft's fully-functional Web-based calendar supports recurring appointments, reducing the overhead of scheduling patients.
Thanks to pMDsoft's wireless background sync, these appointments - and any changes or cancellations - are pushed automatically to your iPhone,
ensuring that you always have the latest schedule even when you're on the go. Entering charges for these appointments takes just a few touches, and is
often faster than paper billing because the date, place of service, and patient information are already in the system. Color coding provides a clear
visual indicator of which appointments have charges entered, and which still need attention.
This feature completes the package for any physician who sees patients in the outpatient setting, and brings the advantages of the iPhone platform to
specialties that are almost exclusively office-based.
If your practice has seen a patient before, you shouldn't have to re-enter the demographic information.
That seems like common sense, but pMDsoft goes above and beyond to save you time on data entry
and prevent duplication errors.
Your practice's complete patient list is searchable right from the iPhone census. That gives you access to
the demographics, clinical notes, and visit histories of past patients,
so you're never left guessing if a patient was already seen in the past, or what happened during that encounter.
Better yet, our enterprise-grade HL7 system can sync patients directly to your iPhone from other software such as
hospital information systems, EMRs and practice management suites,
so this list can stay up to date automatically.
pMDsoft uploads your charges and pulls down patient updates steadily in the background, giving you the latest information while you're on the go. This addresses a need that nearly all rounding physicians have encountered, and for those who understand the importance of rapid inter-physician communication, it's nearly an obsession.
Updating that information is a snap - you can view a patient's details using the blue "detail" button in the census. Tap any field and you'll have a searchable list of matches.
The patient's full clinical note and visit history are also accessible from this screen. (Remember that pMDsoft shows a preview of the clinical note and the last visit date right in the census.) Any changes you enter here will be transferred automatically to your colleagues.
pMDsoft's Web-based call schedule allows staff to create recurring shifts, and assign doctors to them with a single
click, eliminating duplication of effort when the same shifts are used from one month to the next (even if the doctors change). The schedule for the
entire practice is accessible to every user, so there's one version of the truth about who's on call when.
Your call schedule events are integrated with pMDsoft's appointment calendar on your iPhone, helping you stay organized and
avoid schedule conflicts. As the schedule is filled in and updated, automatic wireless synchronization keeps your iPhone up to date with the latest changes, so you can always tell when you'll be on call.
