(Livingston, NJ - August 2nd, 2007) - meridianEMR's newest release of its clinical content includes reporting and coding assistance for Medicare's new PQRI (Physicians Quality Reporting Initiative).
On December 20, 2006 the President signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA). Section 101 under Title I authorizes the establishment of a physician quality reporting system by CMS. CMS has titled the statutory program the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI).
PQRI establishes a financial incentive for eligible professionals to participate in a voluntary quality reporting program. Eligible professionals who successfully report a designated set of quality measures on claims for dates of service from July 1 to December 31, 2007, may earn a bonus payment, subject to a cap, of 1.5% of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician fee schedule services.
meridianEMR's clinical content now includes the ability to document the specific covered services under PQRI and to assist in the reporting of the correct CPT codes that are required.

meridianEMR RECEIVES CCHIT CERTIFICATION
Software complies with 100 percent of certification criteria
(Livingston, NJ - May 1st, 2007) - The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHITSM) today announced that meridianEMR's release 3.6 is CCHIT CertifiedSM, and meets CCHIT ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2006. Ambulatory EHRs are designed for physician offices and clinics where most Americans get their healthcare. CCHIT is a Recognized Certification Body in the United States for certifying health information technology products an independent, nonprofit organization that sets the benchmark for EHRs.
As a CCHIT Certified product, meridianEMR has been tested and passed inspection of 100 percent of a set of criteria for:
1) Functionality (ability to create and manage electronic records for all patients, as well as automating workflow in a physician's office),
2) Interoperability (a first step in the ability to receive and send electronic data to other entities such as laboratories), and
3) Security (ability to keep patients information safe).
The CCHIT Certified mark a seal of approval for EHR products provides the first consensus-based, consistent benchmark for ambulatory products. By looking to products with the CCHIT Certified seal, physicians and other providers can be assured they are making a reliable investment and insurers and other payers know the products meet expected industry standards.
Physician who purchase certified products have the assurance that they have been reviewed by a panel of judges, including practicing physicians, and that they are being evaluated against standards set by professionals in the field and successfully piloted with products from large and small companies,said Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair, CCHIT. The quality and safety of EHR products can now be measured using certification criteria that were developed specifically for that purpose.
The goals of CCHIT product certification are to reduce the risk of HIT investment by physicians and other providers; ensure interoperability of HIT products; enhance the availability of HIT adoption incentives from purchasers and payers; and protect the privacy of personal health information.
CCHIT's certification compliance criteria and its design for a certification inspection process have been thoroughly researched, taking into account the state of the art of EHRs and available standards, and comparing certification processes in other industries and other countries. The inspection process is based on real-life medical scenarios designed to test products rigorously against the clinical needs of providers and the quality and safety needs of healthcare consumers and payers. One script, for example, recreates a scenario of an elderly man with poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension and other chronic conditions in order to test EHR functions such as potential adverse drug reactions, disease management and treatment plans.

One of the largest Urology groups in the nation selects meridianEMR
(Cincinnati, OH and Livingston, NJ - March 23rd, 2007) - The Urology Group, based in Cincinnati, Ohio has selected meridianEMR for their 34 physician practice. Their offices are spread out among 16 locations throughout the greater Miami valley area in southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. http://www.theurologygroup.cc
After three years of investigating EMR systems The Urology Group (TUG) chose meridianEMR primarily as a result of meridianEMR's vast library of over 100 Urology templates as well as their work with over 300 of the country's leading Urologists.
TUG is one of the largest Urology groups in the nation, and their state-of-the-art surgical center is the largest Urology specific center in the country. The physicians in The Urology Group are active participants in medical research, and their new meridianEMR system will help manage the many clinical research programs they are working on simultaneously.
A key component of the agreement is the high level two-way integration to the Misys Tiger Practice management system. meridianEMR will provide this interface with our state of the art interface engine. The interface engine provides the ability to quickly and effectively process data from multiple sources with the EMR being the central repository of information.
meridianEMR's unique Blended Model technology truly impressed the IT Technology company TUG consulted with. The ability for meridianEMR to simultaneously distribute and backup every piece of EMR data entered on TUG¡¦s local servers saved a group of TUG's size hundreds of thousands of dollars in IT redundant hardware.

Commonwealth Urology 25 Provider Practice selects meridianEMR
(Lexington, Ky and Livingston, NJ ¡V January 3rd, 2007) - Commonwealth Urology, based in Lexington, Kentucky, has selected meridianEMR and meridianPM for their 25 provider practice. They have 9 offices in Lexington and surrounding area.
Commonwealth Urology has been serving the Commonwealth of Kentucky since 1927. http://www.commonwealth-uro.com
Their management committee has chosen to implement both the meridianEMR and meridianPM system to provide their prestigious practice with a totally integrated office solution.
The EMR committee at Commonwealth had the advantage of one of their urologists previously working for eight (8) years with an EMR from one of the leading EMR vendors in the large practice and hospital environment. This physician knew the pros and cons of an EMR, and had invested a tremendous amount of personal time developing urology templates on that system.
Knowing the effort it would take for Commonwealth to undertake the template development a group of their size required, the EMR committee voted to implement meridianEMR, which includes the most comprehensive and vast Urology template library in the EMR market.
The administration was also very impressed with the depth and ease of use of our PM system, which is replacing older technology systems. meridianEMR¡¦s integrated solution will allow all of their offices to share financial and clinical records on every patient, regardless of which office they are visiting.
Maryagnes Little, Practice Administrator at Commonwealth, commented that ¡§the initial days of our first office go live have gone extremely well, and the response from all levels for support has been excellent.¡¨
