1 Introdcing ChartMaker Clod! STI Provides More Options Than Any Other Software Vendor ChartMaker Clinical Amblatory EHR + Cardiovasclar Medicine + Child Health

2 The ChartMaker Medical Site is made p of for affordable, integrated modles for Practice Management and Electronic Medical Records. They can be prchased separately, or work as a software site when combined sharing data between the applications. STI provides yo with the option of hosting the software in yor office (client server) or having STI host with the ChartMaker Clod. With ONC and CCHIT certification, ChartMaker EMR options enable yo to benefit from all of the financial incentives available today, so yo don t need to settle for a cheap, non-integrated, or poorly spported EMR. STI has served the medical commnity s software needs since In 2007, when STI first received EMR certification, there were abot 55 certified EMRs available for the physician amblatory marketplace. Once the word got ot that physicians were receiving large financial incentives to by an EMR, the marketplace was flooded with new software companies; however, many of these software companies had little or no previos medical practice experience. At last cont there were over 700 certified EMR prodcts available. How many of these prodcts do yo think will be arond in five years? 3 Dear Healthcare Professional, I wold like to introdce yo to the ChartMaker Medical Site from STI Compter Services. Whether yo need to jst replace an old, inefficient billing system, add Electronic Medical Records, or completely replace yor crrent system the ChartMaker Medical Site is the right choice for yor medical practice. Unlike other vendors that make yo by an expensive prodct that may contain featres that yo don t need or care to se, the ChartMaker Medical Site incldes for standalone modles that can be sed separately or combined into a completely integrated Medical Management Software Site. With the ChartMaker Medical Site yo can install jst the modles that yo need today, and later add more. For example, yo can se jst billing or appointment schedling today and later add EMR fnctionality sch as ChartMaker Lite or ChartMaker Clinical with or Health Portal or Patient Portal to commnicate with medical centers, laboratories, or patients. Yo can pick and choose the software applications yo need today and add the rest whenever yo desire in an affordable, phased implementation. Pls STI provides options on how yo prefer to host yor software. Yo can host it yorself in yor office or take advantage of ChartMaker Clod, an Internet-based option, and let STI host the application for yo on or secre servers. STI also offers a Revene Cycle Management option if yo need help in collecting yor revene from insrance payers and patients. Unlike other vendors that can t be bothered with spporting yor eqipment and love to blame the other gy, with STI yo have the option to provide yor own hardware or let STI be responsible for the entire installation. We even provide an option for hardware managed services to provide off-site hardware monitoring and back-p services on the web. Both ChartMaker EMR options are ONC and CCHIT certified and inclde e-prescriptions. There are many benefits involved in sing an EMR in yor practice besides better organization and more efficiency, inclding p to $39,000 per provider in Medicare federal financial incentives that will more than pay for yor STI ChartMaker System if yo qalify. One of or marketing representatives can visit yor office to show yo how the innovative ChartMaker Medical Site can fit into yor practice workflow and help yo collect more revene as well as make yo more prodctive. To make an appointment, call my mobile telephone Best Regards, Joe Cerra Sales Manager The ChartMaker Medical Site allows yo to prchase jst what yo need now and expand yor system later as yo grow, or install a completely integrated Practice Management and EMR Software Site today. It s yor choice. The for modles are: Practice Manager - electronic billing, practice management, and reports Schedler - appointment schedling, and electronic eligibility checking, inclding patient recall ChartMaker Lite - a low-cost, easy-to-se EMR with eprescribing that qalifies for the Medicare and Medicaid Meaningfl Use Incentives, and avoids federal penalties. Practices can receive Medicare financial incentives p to $15,000/provider in 2013 Clinical - a fll-fnctioned EMR with specialty specific templates to do more than jst meet the minimm Federal standards for the EMR When sed together, information is shared seamlessly from one modle to the next. For instance, appointments display in the EMR, and charge information flows from the EMR directly to the billing system. More importantly, ChartMaker is affordable for even the smallest medical practice. For example, a practice that needs to replace an old billing system can prchase only the ChartMaker Practice Manager billing modle today for $4,495, pls installation and training costs, and add more modles later if necessary. ChartMaker Client Server ChartMaker Client Server A Client Server based system means that yo are prchasing the software license and hosting the application on yor own file server in yor location. Yo do not need to se the Internet to access the software in yor main office, bt can se the Internet to view or enter ChartMaker Medical Site information from a remote location, medical centers, or home. The ChartMaker Medical Site can be prchased throgh a 60-month lease/prchase agreement to provide an affordable monthly payment similar to a clod option. After the 60-month term yo no longer need to pay for software. However, yo are responsible for monthly software spport costs and health or patient portal fees to keep the software p-to-date and to commnicate with patients, laboratories, medical centers, and to eprescribe. ChartMaker Clod ChartMaker Clod A Clod-based system (also called an ASP for Application Service Provider or SaaS for Software as a Service) means that medical practice information and software are hosted on the servers at an STI remote location and yo access yor information via the Internet. With a Clod-based system yo are in effect paying a monthly fee or renting the software and only paying as long as yo se the system. For example, the ChartMaker Medical Site monthly sbscription fee for a single physician practice is only $475/month for all for modles listed above. The initial term is 36 months; afterwards yo can cancel the agreement or renew for an additional 36 months. There are additional Front End (one-time) costs for training and software set-p and connection between STI servers (clod) and the medical office pls applicable state sales tax. ChartMaker Medical Site has an option to convert to an otright prchase price at a later date. 25% of the paid monthly provider sbscription fees p to a maximm of 50% of the total software prchase price are applied towards prchase. Differences between the Clod and In-Hose Versions: With ChartMaker Clod, yo no longer need to... prchase a dedicated file server or back-p device. Back p and servers are hosted by STI and costs are inclded in the monthly provider sbscription fee. pay for software licenses; this cost is inclded in the monthly provider sbscription fee. pay for software spport and pdates; this cost is inclded in the monthly provider sbscription fee. With ChartMaker Clod... yor monthly provider sbscription fee incldes the cost of the STI Health Portal and all billing clearinghose fees. yo need high speed Internet access at yor locations. If yo lose Internet connectivity yo cannot view or se yor data for the period in which the Internet connection is lost. ChartMaker Medical Site v 3.7 by STI Compter Services, Inc is 2011/2012 compliant and has been certified by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT ), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable certification criteria for Eligible Providers adopted by the Secretary of Health and Hman Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Hman Services or garantee the receipt of incentive payments. Janary 5, CC Qality Measres Certified: NQF 0421, NQF 0013, NQF 0028, NQF 0041, NQF 0024, NQF 0038, NQF 0031, NQF 0043 and NQF Self Attested Additional Software Used in Testing: cid:image001.png@01cbaca7.1ede1d60. STI is niqe in that it offers a choice between a Clod-Based version of the ChartMaker Medical Site and an in-hose, client-server model with the file server at yor location.

It can be sed with other ChartMaker modles. Yo have the ability to schedle appointments separately for all yor providers and practices, for years in advance! The niqe featre of the ChartMaker Schedler is its combination of flexibility and rigidity. The system gives the physician or office manager tremendos flexibility in specifying not only when, bt also how appointments are schedled. Once this intelligence has been bilt into the system, even ntrained operators can schedle appointments effectively and accrately. Extensive se of graphics makes ChartMaker Schedler both easy to se and efficient. Each day is depicted in a graphical format showing all available appointments and the name of the patients schedled for each slot. These graphical depictions give the operator the ability to add appointments efficiently at a glance. Within each time slot, yo have the capability to specify the type of visit permitted. For instance, many doctors prefer to Check-in and Patient Tracking A patient can be checked-in once they arrive and their time and location tracked throghot yor practice.

4 Practice Manager Electronic Billing The Center for Medicare Services (CMS) has reported that it rejects 26% of the claims it receives. While that nmber is astonishing, more astonishing is the fact that 40% of those rejected claims are never resbmitted. Using Medicare s statistics, the lost revene per physician is abot 10%. On a per physician basis, this ranges from approximately $25,000 to over $50,000 (1). Electronic Transmission of Insrance Electronic billing with ChartMaker Practice Manager provides practice benefits to avoid lost revene and can pay for itself with improved electronic billing procedres and collections. Here s how ChartMaker Practice Manager can help: First, electronically sbmitted claims are scrbbed for errors by ChartMaker Practice Manager. They are not keypnched nor manally reviewed at the insrance carrier and, therefore, less likely to be rejected. Stdies show that practices that bill electronically experience 21% fewer rejections. (2) Second, within hors yo will be electronically notified that the sbmitted claims have been accepted or rejected. If rejected they can be corrected and resbmitted the same day. Third, electronically sbmitted claims are typically paid faster. By law, Medicare mst pay an electronic claim in 13 days. The same paper claim woldn t be paid ntil day 26. (2) Forth, electronically sbmitted claims are atomatically tracked with ChartMaker Practice Manager. If a claim is not paid within the agreed to time, a report can be generated, the carrier contacted and the charge reviewed, and ChartMaker Practice Manager can atomatically resbmit the claim. Fifth, after yo are paid, ChartMaker Practice Manager checks yor contracted fees to ensre that yo are being paid correctly, and atomatically bills yor secondary carrier or the patient. Commercial Carriers ChartMaker Practice Manager files electronic claims to most commercial carriers. The Paper Chase With ChartMaker Practice Manager yo can electronically bill most commercial carriers as well as Medicare. If yo do not bill all claims electronically yo face an additional labor cost in tracking hard-copy commercial claims. With hardcopy claims, there is no way of knowing if the commercial carrier received yor claim or its stats withot a telephone call for follow-p. STI Payer Inqiry The STI Payer Inqiry modle allows yo to obtain Insrance Athorizations, patient eligibility and claim stats. In addition, if yo are a PCP, this modle allows yo to generate yor patients referrals. As a specialist s office, the STI Payer Inqiry modle wold be sed to obtain yor patients referrals. Electronic Statements ChartMaker Practice Manager offers the option to generate and send an electronic batch of patient statements. Electronic statements are printed, prepared, and mailed by a third party, saving yor office both the time and money reqired to manage this fnction in-hose. Ato Posting In some cases, ChartMaker Practice Manager electronically posts yor EOMB atomatically, checks yor profiles for correct payment accracy, and balance bills yor patients, saving most practices hndreds of labor hors each year.

Speed p payments with electronic transmissions, by Kristie Perry Dolan, Medical Economics Magazine, October 27, 1997, pgs ELIGIBILITY CHECKING Data Inqiry With the ChartMaker Practice Manager Patient Driven Inqiry section, yo have access to all patient information in a logical format in one place, making it easy for even the novice ChartMaker ser to find needed information. Data Entry ChartMaker Practice Manager provides for the entry of patient charges, recall reqests, co-pay payments, and clinical information from within the charge entry process, the logical place and time when this information is fresh in the operator s mind.

5 ChartMaker Lite Step 1 to yor EMR ChartMaker Clinical Step 2 to yor EMR Since we first released ChartMaker in 1997, we ve learned how to move a physician office from paperbased to compterized patient charts. This experience is one of the primary benefits of sing or phased implementation approach. Bilding Valable Patient Content ChartMaker Lite (also known as Entry Point) is a low-cost, modlar, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System for medical practices. ChartMaker Lite shares a common database with the other components of the Medical Site and allows for the storage and recall of patient notes in an organized patient medical file. ChartMaker is designed to be installed in a phased implementation to move the medical practice from a hand-written, manal chart system to a legible, compterized, electronic medical record system. ChartMaker Lite is step one and designed to overcome physician s objections to time consming, compter data entry of patient data into the medical chart. Instead, it focses on EMR benefits and minimizes the amont of hands on entry reqired by the physician. We Can Get Yo There ChartMaker Lite is designed to provide small medical practices with an affordable Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that will qalify for the HITECH Meaningfl Use Incentive Payments. I m sre that yo know, the HITECH Meaningfl Use Incentive Payments are $15,000 in 2013 and $12,000 in 2014 a total of $39,000/physician over for years if they implement and attest beginning in I ve heard from many physicians that they are concerned that implementing an EMR in their practice will be both expensive and disrptive and that they will be reqired to redce the nmber of patient visits that they can schedle dring implementation as they learn to se an EMR. ChartMaker Lite was designed to remedy these isses and comply with the Government EMR reqirements to attain Meaningfl Use and avoid Medicare penalties with the least amont of disrption and expense to yor office. Becase the ChartMaker Medical Site is a modlar system that allows practices to install incrementally over time, STI has prodced a simple and easy to se EMR to meet Meaningfl Use reqirements withot forcing yo to compterize yor entire patient chart. Once yo are comfortable with ChartMaker Lite, yo can choose to add other modles in a phased implementation approach redcing cost, stress, and disrption to yor practice workflow. One of or first goals is to bild critical patient content so yo will have patient information to access on yor compters. Once yo bild patient content and yo have confidence in sing ChartMaker Lite on a day-to-day basis, we can discss additional options that meet yor practice needs. eprescriptions and Prescription Printing When yo see a patient for a problem, yo can review medications that yo prefer to prescribe for their condition. With a mose click or pen tap, yo can prescribe and print or eprescribe the patient prescription, with dispensing and personal instrctions, pdate the active medication list, and add the drg to the patient s history. Apple ipad and iphone Option Yo can se an ipad or iphone to view and work with the ChartMaker System. This reqires an app from the Apple App Store. Eliminate all the Paper Often, practices will employ someone whose sole responsibility is finding and re-filing the charts that are sed dring the day. An EMR completely eliminates the need for this fnction and immediately redces costs. This will eliminate the chance of a HIPAA violation, when a paper chart cold be accidentally left in a pblic place. An EMR can drastically decrease the amont of time it takes to docment chart notes and can increase the qality of the content in some cases. If yo dictate yor notes sing the ChartMaker voice recognition software, yo can save thosands of dollars each year by eliminating the need to pay a transcription service. Another benefit of eliminating the paper is redcing the costs associated with it. On average, dring the life of each chart the practice spends $15/chart on paper, stickers, binders etc. The cost of these items individally does not seem like very mch, bt the average physician maintains over 3,000 charts. So, the cost is abot $45,000 over the life of yor practice. De to legal reqirements, offices keep charts for seven years after discharging patients. If yor office is paying for off-site storage for paper charts, this is an expense yo can eliminate. Once ChartMaker Lite has been flly implemented and yor staff is trained and familiar with its se, the ChartMaker Clinical modle can be added to allow the physician and yor staff to create or cstomize templates for specific needs and to provide personalized patient handots and additional correspondence. Yo can review patient charts on yor compter. Immediate information displayed incldes the crrent problem list, allergies, medications, and miscellaneos patient information, as well as the most crrent chart notes for each patient in yor practice. Yo can easily select a template(s) and complete an evalation. Notes can be entered either by mose, pen, transcription, or spoken directly into the ChartMaker voice recognition modle. Prescriptions or laboratory work is monitored throgh the system. Yo can qickly create any reqired correspondence to a referring physician based pon the information fond in the chart. Pls, yo can improve yor level of chart docmentation with or E&M Coding Assistant. Both ChartMaker Lite and ChartMaker Clinical share the same SQL database as all of or prodcts so there is no dplicate data entry. Since the system is flly integrated, yo will never need to worry abot the ncertainties of a costly interface to another company s software prodct. Electronic Docment Management Electronic Docment Management is the first step to eliminate paper charts in yor practice. Before yo can become paperless, old paper docments need to be scanned into the EMR so that they are electronically manageable and accessible. ChartMaker provides an internal scanning process with ser-defined tabs within the EMR to organize yor old paper records.

6 More Reasons and Financial Incentives Yor Patient Charts and Billing Data Are Protected STI provides a niqe option to switch from ChartMaker Clod to an in-hose client-server version and contine to se yor patient information as data. This is important to nderstand. Other vendors with only a clod-based version of their software have a stranglehold on yor valable patient data and yor practice. Before yo make any agreement with any clod based vendor yo need to nderstand how yo get yor important patient and financial data back, in what format, and how yo can se it. With some vendors, yo are assigning the rights to yor data to the vendor. That means that they do not need to retrn it to yo. So, other vendors may or may not retrn yor data to yo. If they do retrn data, it is often on a DVD with pictres of yor patient notes, bt this information is not sable as data in another EMR. What yo may receive is a DVD only for viewing old notes. That process is very difficlt if yo have a large amont of patient information. To really se yor data, yo need the software program and not jst the data. This is a really big difference, and it is important that yo nderstand it. If yo don t please call me and I ll be happy to explain the difference to yo in detail. If yo switch from ChartMaker Clod to an in-hose ChartMaker client-server version yor patient information isn t lost. All data is owned by yo and retrned to yor practice. Revene Cycle Management Option STI also offers a Revene Cycle Management option with either the in-hose or clod options. We provide a cooperative approach in which yo enter patient demographic information, and charges throgh the EMR and an STI partner will provide insrance and patient billing, payment collection and posting, as well as follow-p services at a percentage of collectable revene. Yo control the accracy of yor patient data, can view all information, and only pay for charges that are collected. All information remains nder yor control and ownership. Most likely yo will sbstantially redce yor costs as well as improve collections with professional Revene Cycle Management from an STI partner. If yo qalify, some or all software and p-front costs may be waived for the 36-month period when yo se STI s professional Revene Cycle Management. Don t Forget Lessons Learned Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana ( ) When selecting EMR software, se the same criteria that yo wold for a Practice Management (Billing) System Inclding: Vendor Viability Training (Onsite, Web-based or Classroom) Spport & Upgrades Practice Management & Electronic Billing Inclded Who Owns the Software? Cost (One Time or Monthly Cost Forever) Spport One of the first and most important aspects to consider when prchasing new software is the level of software spport that will be inclded with the new system. How Practices Select Compter Systems - Criteria First time: Second Time: 1. Price (56%) 1. Spport (56%) 2. Easy Implementation 2. Vendor 3. Easy to Use 3. Eqipment 4. Software Fit 4. Growth 5. Fnction 5. Software Fit 6. Eqipment 6. Docmentation 7. Growth 7. Fnction 8. Spport 8. Easy Implementation 9. Docmentation 9. Easy to Use 10. Vendor 10. Price Sorce: IBM Stdy Spport is so important becase it does not matter how eloqently written a piece of software is. It s important to know how well a company can assist yo when yo need them. Every vendor claims to have great spport. Who woldn t since it is easy to claim and more difficlt to dispte. Ask specific qestions like, How long is yor average call back time for spport calls? and Is yor spport team at yor main location or is it otsorced to some other company or contry? Common Sense vs. Nonsense It is nwise to pay too mch, bt it s worse to pay too little. When yo pay too mch, yo lose a little money that is all. When yo pay too little, yo sometimes lose everything, becase the thing yo boght was incapable of doing the thing it was boght to do. The common law of bsiness balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot it can t be done. If yo deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk yo rn, and if yo do that yo will have enogh to pay for something better. John Rskin ( ) Qalify for Federal Financial Incentives and Avoid Penalties All ChartMaker EMR options are flly certified by ONC and CCHIT and inclde e-prescriptions. There are many benefits when sing eprescriptions and an EMR in a yor medical practice besides better organization and more efficiency. Medicare Meaningfl Use financial incentives are available for qalified providers. See table for details. Calendar Year for which each Elligible Provider Receives an Incentive Payment 2013 $15, $12,000 $12, and later 2015 $8,000 $8,000 $ $4,000 $4,000 $0 Total $39,000 $24,000 $0 Meaningfl Use Made Easy We have a bilt-in system to help yo qalify. The Meaningfl Use Dashboard is a featre of the ChartMaker Medical Site which allows yo to assess whether yo are meeting the reqirements for Meaningfl Use to qalify to receive p to a $39,000 incentive payment per physician. Experience We have the experience yo reqire from a software vendor. We ve installed over 3,000 practices since Whether yo need to replace jst an old, inefficient billing system, add Electronic Medical Records, or completely replace yor crrent system the ChartMaker Medical Site is the right choice for yor medical practice. STI provides a combination of on-site and web based training and nlike most EMR software vendors the nmbers of training visits and costs are realistic and not an expensive srprise or low-ball estimate for yo to deal with after yo prchase the software. Section 179 Income Tax Credit Section 179 of the Federal Tax law was recently revised for 2013 to allow p to $500,000 of eligible software and compter eqipment to be dedcted the year it is prchased and pt into service. ChartMaker may qalify for a sbstantial tax dedction this year. Check with yor accontant. Lessons Learned The EMR is not some mystical prodct. It s important to remember that an EMR is a software prodct jst like yor crrent billing system. Don t forget lessons learned in selecting billing software. The same criteria that yo sed in the past to select a billing software vendor shold be applied to yor EMR vendor. In selecting EMR software, and in fact any software, the most important element is the viability of the vendor providing the software and their commitment to keeping the prodct p-to-date. Software cost, awards, reptation, pdates, spport, training and CCHIT certification are all important. Nonetheless most software improves over time if the vendor is diligent. If yor software vendor leaves the marketplace for any reason and is not available to make pdates to yor software, yor EMR will eventally become nsable and yor complete investment cold be lost. The decision yo are making is more abot the viability and ftre of the vendor than the bells and whistles in the software prodct itself. Many practices pt too mch emphasis on the cost of the system as the sole bying criteria. A medical system is a complex combination of compter eqipment, software, training, software pdates, spport, and hardware maintenance. Cost is jst the tip of the iceberg. However, when yo do compare costs, compare all of the costs, not jst the initial prchase price.
