A Guided Tour of Soapware Clinical Suite Electronic Health Records & Practice Management Software

INDEPENDENT, RIGOROUS, & OBJECTIVE: The Guided Tour is a self-contained resource with essential information an organization needs to conduct a due diligence evaluation of electronic health records software. This Guided Tour is focused on SOAPware Clinical Suite Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) software. SOAPware Clinical Suite is designed especially for small ambulatory medical practices and supports over seventy (70) specialties. The Guided Tour covers how to install, learn, and use SOAPware Clinical Suite. It provides practical tips on how to navigate the system. It examines SOAPware Clinical Suite's strengths and limitations, and what you need to consider if you are interested in evaluating, purchasing, learning or adopting it. The Guided Tour presents key decisions and important considerations that should be weighed before spending valuable time and thousands of dollars implementing an EHR solution, and SOAPware Clinical Suite in particular. For many medical practices and hospitals, it is cost prohibitive to hire outside IT professionals to conduct a thorough system evaluation of EHR software before it is selected. The Guided Tour is a cost-effective way to determine if SOAPware Clinical Suite is an appropriate choice - before making a sizable investment in healthcare information technology (HIT). The launch of TCR's new Guided Tour series coincides with the opening of the reimbursement period for the U.S. government's $27 billion ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) incentive program to drive the adoption of electronic health records. The Guided Tour includes a detailed roadmap explaining how to qualify for and claim American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Meaningful Use incentives that can help pay for the implementation of SOAPware Clinical Suite. For many, the ARRA Meaningful Use incentives cover only a fraction of the EHR's true cost - which can range from $10,000 to $100,000 per eligible provider. Research shows the failure rates for EHR implementations approach 50%. Given the high costs and high failure rates for EHR system adoptions, the Guided Tour is an essential, trusted resource to help ensure good decision making.
