AmazingCharts.com Low-Cost EHR Solution for Small Practices Now Qualifies for Stark and Anti-Kickback Exemptions for Hospital Donations

AmazingCharts.com, Inc., a leading developer of electronic health record systems, today announced that Amazing Charts Version 5 is a pre-market, conditionally CCHIT Certified® 2008 Ambulatory EHR.

Amazing Charts met 100% of the CCHIT ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) criteria and advanced e-prescribing requirements for 2008. The 2008 certification is the most current CCHIT certification level attainable by ambulatory EHR vendors. Pre-market, conditionally certified EHRs are new products that are fully certified once their operational use at a physician office site has been verified.

“Two key new areas of interoperability are required to achieve 2008 certification,” said Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair, CCHIT. “First, ambulatory EHRs must be capable of advanced electronic prescribing functions so physicians can qualify for bonuses under Medicare’s new incentive program. Second, EHRs must be able to send and receive an electronic patient summary. These and other new criteria will ensure that certified health IT products help improve quality, safety, and efficiency while protecting the privacy of health information.”

“Physicians finally have access to a reasonably priced CCHIT Certified® EHR that delivers all the functionality of products costing many times more,” says Dr. Jonathan Bertman, M.D., President and CEO of AmazingCharts.com. “Practices that purchase Amazing Charts will literally pocket tens of thousands of dollars more in Medicare incentives than physicians who opt for the over-priced and overly-complex EHR solutions being aggressively marketed today.”

Dr. Bertman continued: “Additionally, Amazing Charts now qualifies for the new exemptions for donations of interoperable EHR technology—the so-called Stark law—allowing community hospitals to provide affiliated physicians with a cost-effective, user-friendly EHR solution.”

Amazing Charts is one of the fastest growing EHR software companies in the United States. Designed by a physician specifically for physician offices or clinics with five or fewer healthcare providers, the Amazing Charts EHR enables rapid documentation of patient encounters, with fewer chart errors and faster coding. In most cases, no training is required for first-time users. Compared with competing solutions, Amazing Charts offers very affordable pricing, a three-month “try before you buy” offer, and integrated value-added services such as billing and offsite data backup.
