What is the Open Medical Practice Movement?
We at Synitech believe that the first step towards facilitating trust between patients and providers begins with the establishment of Open Architectures. Open Architecture in the medical community means that all software, standards, and protocols that are involved with the transfer of patient-identifiable information for data aggregation, billing claims processing, clinical services, or other medical services are provided for free with Open Source to the general public for review.
Leveraging computer and internet technologies into the medical field begins with the education of physicians and patients regarding the use, secure access, and transmission of patient-identifiable information.
What does this mean for my Medical Practice?
Choosing to convert your practice to an Electronic Medical Records and/or Billing System is an important first step towards HIPAA compliance and improved efficiency in the office. It is a large commitment, and involves changes in practice patterns and policies for both you and your office staff. We at Synitech believe that companies and developers committed to the Open Medical Practice Movement offer a more reliable and trust-worthy model for providing services.
