With the
growing cost of healthcare information systems (HIS) today, many
are looking for options on how to lower costs. One seemingly
effortless way to lower costs is by adding electronic health
records and other clinical software to assist the physician
(time savings) and to improve documentation (higher
reimbursement). For physicians to effectively add these
systems, double entry of data must be eliminated. Middleware,
specifically X-Link, performs the necessary integration, thus
completely removing the need for duplication of data entry.
X-Link is middleware that provides the End User with the
capability to exchange data between medical software packages
and/or data service providers produced by a diverse array of
manufacturers.
Why would
you want to add X-Link to your sales portfolio?
There are many reasons as to why you may want X-Link in your
sales portfolio. Most basic is X-Link provides you with an
extra avenue for generating revenue. This single product is so
flexible it allows you to link over 130 different systems for
you clients! Second, X-Link provides you and your company with
a tool to keep your sales margins high. X-Link offers your
clients a solution, and these solutions cannot be bought
directly from the manufacturer or shopped on the Internet like a
product. Because of this, sales margins will remain high, and
you don’t have to worry about your clients “shopping” product
and finding it cheaper elsewhere. A third reason for adding
X-Link in your sales repertoire is X-Link provides you with
greater account control over your clients. This helps to keep
your clients just that - clients- by not letting
competitors enter the mix. With X-Link as the “central control”
for interfacing and you as your client’s primary integration
provider, allows for you to reap the benefits of being a true
solutions provider – providing your clients with the product,
technical support and service they are seeking.
What are
the benefits to using X-Link from the physician’s viewpoint?
There are many benefits seen from the physician’s eyes. First,
connecting databases across the practice reduces the dependence
on cumbersome paper records,
saving
wasted time and errors of re-keying data, doing
manual filing/archiving and paper shredding. Second, these
electronic
files
also restrict access to only authorized caregivers providing a
private and more secure office. The third benefit for
physicians is the savings received on supplies by eliminating
photocopy records, printing fewer pages and saving on toner and
ink cartridges, etc. Finally, middleware is able to answer the
many on-going upgrade issues
by
replacing outdated software parts once newer more powerful ones
become available without having to replace the entire system.
As many
practices today have begun to recognize what exactly X-Link has
to offer, integration at a cost that is returned in less than a
month of operation. We invite you to get on board with us and
