Report
Designer Made
Easier
When
using <Field>
on either the
Data Source tab
(version 13.06.24)
or via the Report
Key(s) icon (version
13.07.08), <Field>
now has a tree
which categorizes
available choices
using table groups
and field names
for ease of selection
and accuracy.

How
to Work with Healthcare
Payers
during the ICD-10
Transition
Carl
Natale of ICD-10
Watch
stated in his
June 26, 2013
that not only
do healthcare
providers have
to make sure their
organizations
can handle ICD-10
codes, they need
to make sure healthcare
payers can handle
their medical
claims.
This
starts with communication
with payers as
soon as possible.
This will help
establish a relationship
that makes the
difference between
a smooth and rocky
ICD-10 transition.

Don't
Forget - EHRs
Benefit Patients
Investments
in updated technology
now will improve
patient care in
the long run.
Investments in
health IT are
investments to
improve the quality
of patient care
for Americans.
EHRs
are improving
patient care across
the country, and
we are on our
way to a system
that will allow
doctors and hospitals
nationwide to
securely share
and store patient
records. EHRs
have been shown
to help rein in
health care costs
too, further justifying
installation costs.
