Through the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology (ONC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal government has been encouraging healthcare providers to adopt EHR systems and adhere to the standards of meaningful use. The primary goals are to improve services for patients and reduce costs for medical treatments. To that end, both offices recently released a progress report on the current state of their various programs and initiatives. In the report, the offices described participation as “robust.” Approximately 388,000, or 73 percent, of healthcare providers in the U.S. are registered for the incentive plans offered through Medicare and Medicaid. By March 2013, 233,000 of these medical professionals had received at least one incentive payment [cont...]

A recent announcement of Java 7 security vulnerabilities coupled with broader HIPAA patient security rules have many healthcare professionals asking, “What does Java 7 have to do with healthcare?”  The answer is: More than you think. Numerous cloud-based software products, including practice management and EHR systems, utilize Java 7 to access practice information and patient records.  Java 7 has been under scrutiny the past few weeks since Polish research firm Security Explorations identified three vulnerabilities. These types of vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system, according to the National Cyber Security Division of the Department of Homeland Security. What many medical professionals don’t know is that there are two different ways that cloud-based [cont...]

Unfortunately, the notion of being fashionably late does not apply to EHR incentive programs. It pays to be on time for this party.  If you haven’t yet attested for the Medicare or Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, you’ve still got some time.  Eligible professionals must begin their consecutive 90-day reporting period by October 3rd in order to attest to meeting meaningful use and be qualified to receive an incentive payment for 2012. Nuesoft has prepared a video guide to help walk you through some of the program’s more complex meaningful use requirements.  Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Follow our guide and prepare your practice to receive the maximum incentive payments available. Full Video: Want more? Click here to download [cont...]

Let’s face it — we’re all a little bit afraid of change and uncertainty. With a number of new regulations in the pipeline that will impact medical practices, many physicians are uneasy, perhaps rightly so. The most recent ruling establishes October 2014 as the deadline for ICD-10 compliance. The ICD-10 diagnosis code set will replace ICD-9, and expand the number of codes from 17,000 to approximately 141,000. With this announcement, many physicians and medical personnel are bracing themselves for what they fear is a complex labyrinth of documentation. Please take a look at our short animated video, “Big Challenges for Medical Practices” and review the findings from our national survey, “Attitudes Toward the Transition to ICD-10 and ANSI-5010.” We’d like [cont...]

Having a video for your medical practice’s Facebook, blog or website is a great marketing tool! A video is a cost effective way to make your practice more well-known and build credibility. Following these easy instructions, you can create a simple and fun two-minute video for your practice using an iPad 2 and Apple’s iMovie App. In fact, the following instructional video was made using the same tools by our own video producer, Suban Dey.

For the interview, rehearse three to four questions and answers that capture what you’re trying to communicate to your viewers. Decide which parts of the Q&A [cont...]

As an innovative software company, it goes with the territory that many of Nuesoft’s employees are considered your quintessential “techies”. But it’s not just the techies anymore that are interested in gaming. Gaming transcends all genders, ages, ethnicities and lifestyles of American culture. With so many Americans interested in this interactive activity and the nationwide push for adoption of healthcare IT, the stage is set for gaming to be more than a trend.
