MedAptus and ALN integrate efforts for comprehensive service to the medical industry in outsourced medical business operations and integrated point-of-care solutions
Boston, MA - October 28, 2003 - ALN Medical Management (ALN), a leading provider of outsourced medical business operations, based in Denver, Colorado, and MedAptus, Inc., the leading provider of point-of-care software solutions for physicians, based in Boston, recently announced their strategic alliance and marketplace partnership, a decision that will result in improved service to the hospital, clinic and physician practice markets already penetrated by both companies and to the medical industry, in general.
With the MedAptus application, Charges in Hand™, physicians can use a Pocket PC handheld device to manage workflow from accessing real-time patient scheduling information to capturing charges, dictating point-of-care patient notes and reviewing information to include medical reference libraries, current diagnostic and procedure coding and coding compliance rules. By leveraging mobile computing and wireless technology, the MedAptus software solution is able to integrate clinical, financial and administrative applications in order to increase physician productivity.
ALN Medical Management provides a robust suite of services that allow a practice to outsource all aspects of their financial processes along with the underlying information technology that supports those processes. ALN helps physicians address their technology issues with focused solutions that fully leverage information technology. Our business services are focused in the areas that can have the greatest impact on the business side of the practice.
The integration of MedAptus software and ALN's outsourcing solution creates a seamless interface between two companies, both with corporate interests in streamlining the internal processes of medical enterprises through related product and service software suites.
According to ALN President and CEO, Tim Coan, "This alliance with MedAptus will help us to further assist our customers by expanding our base offering. Including such vital support components, like the handheld charge capture and dictation capabilities and the access to information like diagnostic coding and patient medical records in one device, is key to our ability to have a complete end-to-end medical business operations and business solution. We're pleased that such a well-respected company has decided to join and support us in our efforts." Said MedAptus Chief Medical Officer, Lance Baldo, M.D., "MedAptus is very excited about our partnership with ALN Medical Management. The combination of point-of-care charge capture with low-cost, accurate and reliable collections and medical billing outsourcing provides tremendous value for practices that want to ease into technology. The additive return on investment is astounding."
