Acumen Physician Solutions Products to Interface with DSI Renal
Acumen Physician Solutions will join with DSI Renal to interface with
DSI's proprietary electronic medical records. In turn, DSI, the
third-largest dialysis services company, will recommend using Acumen
software in its dialysis units.
DSI's relationship with Acumen reinforces the companies' joint
commitment to physicians. DSI and Acumen worked together to upgrade
their respective systems to allow physician rounding notes from Acumen
to flow seamlessly into DSI's clinical system (PEARL), eliminating
double entry and ensuring compliance.
"This partnership will provide increased visibility within the U.S.
health care industry for both Acumen and DSI Renal," said Acumen
president Dana Hensley. "Acumen's biotechnology has been used in
nephrology practices nationwide, and we're ready to partner with a large
dialysis services company."
DSI Renal will recommend using Acumen's electronic health records (EHR)
system as well as Mobile Charge Capture, a mobile application that works
within a nephrology practice management system to streamline the
patient-to-doctor communication process. Mobile Charge Capture is
designed to minimize error and promote accuracy within EHR systems. It
can be used in the dialysiscenter, lab or hospital, and is compatible
with an iPad, iPhone (News - Alert) or PC.
"Physicians' patients and caseloads are increasing every day, so
anything their partners and vendors can do to reduce the administrative
burden allows physicians to spend more time with patients and increases
the efficiency of the overall health care system," said DSI Renal
executive vice president Judy Lefkovitz. "These time-saving, requested
enhancements show the commitment that DSI and Acumen have to their
physician partners."
