MedPlexus Announces General Availability of SaaS-Based EHR, PM and Other Web-Based Physician Applications


SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- MedPlexus, a leading provider of Internet-based administrative, financial and clinical software and services for physician practices, today announced the general availability of its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite of solutions, which include practice management software, electronic health records (EHRs) and a browser-based patient self-service portal. The solution also includes SaaS-enabled services for billing, front-office call management, and practice audit and accounting services.



"The SaaS software delivery model is truly a 'disruptive technology'--one that is changing the paradigm of software acquisition and access for small- and medium-sized physician offices," said Chittaranjan Mallipeddi, CEO of MedPlexus. "With MedPlexus' integrated solution of technology and services, these organizations can avoid large upfront acquisition costs and resource-intensive, year-long deployments. Instead, they obtain immediate access to these solutions via the Internet for a predictable, budget-friendly monthly fee. SaaS removes the need for physician practices to handle the installation, set-up and often daily upkeep and maintenance of the software and hardware."

Under the SaaS model, MedPlexus hosts the applications and manages the maintenance, software upgrades and disaster recovery, thus minimizing the risks and costs incurred by the physician practice and/or healthcare organization while allowing physicians to return to the realm of providing care as opposed to managing technology solutions. Furthermore, MedPlexus' service level agreements (SLAs) guarantee the superior performance, availability, privacy, and security necessary to satisfy each healthcare organization's requirements.


"With this 'pay as they go' system, healthcare providers can elect to use only the applications they presently need while maintaining the ability to easily and quickly scale in the future--all without the stress of long-term contracts," explains Mallipeddi. "Another advantage of this model is that the XML-based applications were designed to encourage collaboration among physicians in research and clinical data efforts, leading to improvements in physician workflow efficiency and patient care."
