Complete Patient Information from a Single Screen Increase your Productivity. Your staff manages countless responsibilities each day. To help further increase their productivity, KeyMed Account Information Manager streamlines necessary tasks into one efficient, user-friendly and adaptable format to manage all aspects of the patient account on one screen. Streamline access to the patient information. With the Account Information Manager patient information is housed according to provider, location, insurers, managed care visits, appointments, statements and multiple other criteria. All information is seamlessly interfaced with the KeyMed scheduler document management system, advanced reporting toolset and financial management in order to view modify and analyze patient information from a single screen. KeyMedical s Appointment Scheduler Schedule Appointments by Physician, Location, Appointment Type and/or Equipment in your office Color Coding and Visuals allow at-a-glance views Appointment Finder, Over-Book and First Available Search Capabilities Exam Templates Customized for your Physician s Unique Schedule Automated Patient Appointment Reminder Capability Physician s Day or Week at a Glance Custom Appointment Reasons Temporary Patient Registration Get a quick overview of your month on what days you are scheduled and how busy each day is with our monthly overview calendar.

Customizable Schedules for Your Physicians The KeyMed Scheduler is the most flexible, user-friendly and efficient scheduling system available today. Schedule by multiple selection criteria. The scheduler, which is color-coded by resource and location allows your staff to quickly identify where and when each physician is working on any given day. KeyMed allows the user to view multiple resources on one screen to compare calendars and reschedule appointments quickly and efficiently, minimizing any inconvenience to patient and staff. The KeyMed Managed Care Interface prompts the user whenever a referral is required for a patient. Information is entered prior to the patient s arrival time and frustration for your patient and staff are significantly reduced. The First Available search feature allows your staff member to provide a patient with an appointment that most accommodates his or her schedule. It allows searches by physician, location, appointment type, day of the week, date or even a specific time. You can quickly view multiple schedules side-by-side for your practice. Then by simply double or right clicking the appointment slot, KeyMed will allow the user to easily schedule an appointment. By using the hover text feature, the scheduler will allow the user to view the details of the appointment (i.e., appointment reason, co-pay, appointment notes). Billing and Claims Processing ICD-10 Enabled Post Charges, Payments and Adjustments at the Individual Charge Level Post Charges from Superbills Easily Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) Electronic Claims Filing Easily Refile Claims by a Simple Checkbox Track Claims Filing History Customize Charge Entry Screen by User Automatically Bill Patient after Insurance Payments Automatically Bill Secondary Insurance Automatically Distribute Payments Tracking of Promise to Pay Agreements. Online Insurance Collections Don t want to do the billing? Ask us about Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)? We can do your billing and collecting more efficiently and with less cost than doing it in-house. Simplify Accounts Receivable Billing can be as unique as the individual who manages it. KeyMed posting allows your staff to post charges, payments and adjustments multiple ways visit/transaction, bulk or line item. From the EHR the charges will appear in the Inbound Queue. Visit/Transaction posting allows the user to post charges, payments and adjustments from the same screen with a patient tree view (see figure above). This screen allows for easy access to patient information (i.e., insurance information/copays, etc.). Bulk Posting provides the ability to use only the keyboard to post charges from a stack of superbills. Line Posting allows you to quickly enter insurance payments from your EOBs. Inbound Queue brings in charges from KeyChart EHR electronically but still allows your billers to verify the CPT, diagnosis codes and insurance information.. The KeyMed posting section also offers automated features that you define. These features include timely insurance filing, re-filing, automated posting of co-pays and autodistributing payments across visits.

Many Reporting Options to Provide You with the Information You Want The balance between patient healthcare and successful management of your practice s business are two priorities you strive for everyday. Understanding trends in your practice from procedure counts to insurance payment analysis can help complete a broader view of your business to allow for necessary decisions on scheduling and staffing. With KeyMed s advanced reporting tools, you have the ability to quickly analyze information specific to your practice. There are 70+ standard reports available with KeyMed that allow you to enter multiple selections and save the defaults you want for easy reuse. Reports can be selected to be sent to the archive, file, printer or screen. They can be run immediately or queued to run on a certain date and time. Account Analysis allows user to combine data from patient account information, appointments and visits to create reports, letters, labels and envelopes. Users can save jobs to run them again in the future. Users can produce letters, patient reminders, envelopes, labels, reports or export the file to Excel. Our Online Analytic Processing, OLAP, is a software application for in -depth reporting and data mining. By pulling in specific pieces of data from your practice s database you can visualize trends over days, months and years. Each report can be quickly exported to Microsoft s Excel program for easy graphing. This allows your physicians to have the visuals they appreciate. If these reporting options aren t enough, we can have custom queries written just for you.

KeyChart comes preloaded with ophthalmology specific exam templates that can quickly and easily be customized to fit each physician in the practice. Just as there are no two people alike, we know and understand that there are no two Ophthalmologists who practice medicine in the same way. This is why Key- Medical has designed our software to fit each physician uniquely. KeyMedical Software s KeyChart 5.0 receives ONC-ACB 2014 Certification 07102014-2342-1 Give yourself the flexibility to have access to all your patient charts remotely. This EHR Module is 2014 Edition compliant and has been certified by an ONC ACB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments. KeyChart 5.0 from KeyMedical Software, Inc. was certified on July 10, 2014 with certificate No. 07102014 2342 1for the following: Modules Tested: 170.314(a)(1 15); 170.314(b)(1 5, 7); 170.314(c)(1 3); 170.314(d)(1 8); 170.314(e)(1 3); 170.314(g)(2 4) Clinical Quality Measures tested: CMS068v3; CMS069v2; CMS117v2; CMS131v2; CMS132v2; CMS133v2; CMS138v2; CMS142v2; CMS143v2; CMS155v2; CMS165v2; CMS167v2 Additional software used: NewCrop, Surescripts Network for Clinical Interoperability Price Transparency: Beyond the initial purchase, pricing for the following services may apply: If the client chooses the Software as a Service option, there will be monthly hosting fees Monthly software support fee, which includes routine updates to the software Setup one time fee E Prescribing monthly fee Online portal service including secure messaging monthly fee Registry reporting service monthly fee

Now is Finally the Time to Implement an Ophthalmic EHR in Your Practice KeyChart provides comparable efficiency gains for the clinical side of your practice that your Practice Management System has proven to provide for the administrative side. Today your staff would find it difficult to function without your Practice Management System. We have found that offices quickly feel the same way about their Electronic Health Records System once it has been implemented. Comments that we often hear are: What took us so long to do this! We would never go back to documenting on paper. We are definitely a more efficient practice. KeyChart allows you to quickly document findings by a single mouse click or the touch of a stylus pen. Physicians can also create drawings by dragging in pathology stamps that will be saved within the exam summary for complete documentation of the physician s findings. Based on the exam documentation created by the technician and physician, KeyChart will recommend the appropriate eye code and E&M code for the visit. This will keep the practice from under coding exams. "A review of 60,000 audits of physician billing records conducted by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) client services division in 2012 found that 37% of the records either were undercoded or underdocumented, equating to an average of $64,000 in foregone or at-risk revenue per physician." 1 KeyChart can connect with your diagnostic equipment and laboratories to bring in test results automatically.

A System Designed for Ophthalmology by Ophthalmologists Each physician can continue to do exams as he/she has always done. KeyChart has enough flexibility to improve the way physicians document, but not too much that they feel as though they have to program the system before it is ever used. KeyChart will not only completely eliminate the chance of losing paper charts, but also automates the day in and day out duties such as prescription refills, referral letters, coding, transcription, etc. As a result of these time savings, we have seen practices actually adding patients to the schedule and making decisions on what to do with the extra space that has been created by not having paper charts to store. These are real benefits from real ophthalmology practices! KeyChart s Patient at a Glance screen is designed to give you a quick overview. A list of documents within the patient s chart A red box around the patient s photograph indicates that not all patient demographic information has been entered for Meaningful Use. A green box indicates all data has been entered. The red color shows this document needs the physician s attention View multiple images simultaneously The patient at a glance screen provides doctors with a quick overview of history for problems, chief complaints, medical history, medications, allergies, CPT codes, new medications, insurance, images and other documents.

The Benefits You Can Have By Using an EHR In Your Practice Increased Profit Margins Increased Revenue Increase in Staff Productivity Consistency Throughout Practice Better Patient Care Reduced Space Taken By Paper Charts Remote Access to Charts Improved Documentation E-Prescribing Meet Meaningful Use KeyChart interfaces with your autorefractor as well as your lensometer. This allows for quick, easy and error-free documentation. Avoid Penalties NO MORE LOST CHARTS! The IOP Report will give the Physician a quick reference to the history of the patient s pressures, cup to disc ratio, visual acuity and medications.

CRITICAL Mistakes to avoid when selecting the right software 1. Not choosing a vendor that offers ophthalmic- specific software If the software isn t tailored for ophthalmology, you may not have the option to choose OD or OS in your EHR. You likely wouldn t be able to easily enter refractions and visual acuities. You likely wouldn t have a graph of your intraocular pressures. You may not even have the ability to draw. 2. Not choosing software that is ONC Certified to the 2014 Edition of Health Information Technology If your EHR software is not ONC Certified HIT 2014 Edition, you will not be able to meet Meaningful Use. This means you will automatically be taking the Medicare penalty. You would not be able to file your PQRS from your EHR. 3. Not choosing a vendor with US-based support and training employees If your software vendor is trying to save money by employing overseas contractors to answer your telephone questions, they may not understand your questions and may not be able to provide answers in a timely manner. If the vendor chooses to use outside contractors for training, your training experience may be a waste of time and money if the contractor isn t knowledgeable in the software or if your pre-installation information isn t passed to that person. Even if the contractor knows the software and receives your pre-installation information, you will likely never get to speak with him again after your training. You want trainers who will be available post training to answer questions. 4. Not seeing a full demonstration of the software The best way to know what the software will do for you is to see a demonstration of the software you are interested in performed by a knowledgeable employee. Ask all of your questions. If there are functions your present software does, ask to see how this software performs like tasks. Don t assume that just because your present software offers this feature that the new one automatically will. If there are functions your present software doesn t offer, ask to see how this software does them. A good vendor will welcome your questions and will want you to feel comfortable with the software before you buy. 5. Not obtaining a complete quote before purchasing A reputable vendor will provide a proposal showing you what software, hardware (if applicable), training, and support you will receive for your money. They will be able to answer your questions about what kind of hardware you need and what hardware you can use that you already have. They will be able to answer your questions about what kind of Internet connection you will need. Even if you decide not to choose KeyMedical Software, please don t make the same mistakes these practices made...

Don t gamble with your practice! These problems are all too common... Problem: The vendor you chose didn t create a good conversion and implementation plan for your practice s specific needs. The vendor s implementation staff did not spend time talking with you to find out your needs. They didn t prepare to obtain data from your previous vendor in a timely manner. They didn t prepare interfaces and connectivity prior to your training. Your practice wasn t signed up with the clearinghouse so you could send your claims in a timely manner. Result: Data aren t converted on time to be put into your new database. Internet and hardware aren t in place when you need them. Claims aren t being paid because you aren t signed up with the clearinghouse. Money isn t coming in. Disaster! How to prevent this: Question your vendor of choice on their implementation process. Talk to references on how their implementation was handled. If you have chosen a vendor and this process doesn t seem to be going right, and if you can t get answers that satisfy you that the process can get on track, check into cancelling this purchase and choose a good vendor! Problem: Unrealistic expectations from the salesperson Cause: The salesperson didn t spend the time to show you what the software does and doesn t do. Instead, the salesperson answered your questions with answers like, Now you would expect good software to do that, wouldn t you? He didn t tell you or show you how the software performed the feature you asked about, but he led you to believe that his software did what you wanted. He set you up. Result: You don t receive the important features and services you expect. How to prevent this: Ask to be shown how a feature works. Most features can be demonstrated, but some features such as sending claims to a clearinghouse or posting ERAs probably can t be demonstrated. Ask references about these features. Our trainers will work with you to tailor the system setup and training to your needs. Our EHR software is 2014 certified so you can qualify for the EHR Incentive Program (Meaningful Use). We will provide you with an itemized proposal so you know exactly what is included and won t have unpleasant surprises. Our trainers have years of experience teaching clients how to successfully implement our software to insure your success. Our developers have a great deal of experience in bringing in data from other systems so that you have it on time and correct. We have support staff available to answer any questions that come up once the onsite training concludes. We stand behind our software, installation, training and support. Please don t hesitate to call our references to verify this.

The Choices You Make Today May Have Unwanted Consequences Tomorrow. Software for ophthalmologists is a competitive business, and of course we would love to add you to our list of happy clients. We have been in business since 2002 and have heard numerous testimonials from our clients. We ve also heard good reviews from people who went with other companies. Unfortunately, what is all too common are the horror stories of practices that made the costly decision to move forward with nonreputable vendors only to find themselves with a mess on their hands. This is why it s important to really look into the vendor you intend to use. To protect yourself from doing business with non-reputable vendors that give our industry a bad name, please review the facts outlined below: FACT FACT FACT KeyChart EHR is ONC-ACB certified for 2014 what you need for Meaningful Use. You can verify this for us and any other software vendors by going to the http://oncchpl.force.com/ ehrcert website. All KeyMedical trainers are US-based. They aren t fly-by-night, outside sub-contractors who don t know the software and aren t prepared for your installation like some vendors use. Your phone calls and emails are answered by responsive support staff members from our offices near Indianapolis, Indiana. They speak your language and understand your practice s needs unlike some vendors with call centers outside the US. FACT Our software is designed for ophthalmologists with direction from ophthalmologists. Our EHR handles ophthalmic drawing templates, interfaces with your ophthalmic equipment, handles OD, OU,OS with ease, and provides IOP graphs. Our software correctly handles claims, eligibility, patient portal and referrals in and out of your practice. Our software can handle your glasses, contact lenses and other items sold in your optical shop. Software not designed for ophthalmology may not properly handle left and right. It is unlikely that it can deal with refractions and intraocular pressures. Interfacing with your ophthalmic diagnostic equipment is unusual. Forget about graphing your IOPs, and optical shop software is non-existent. Elizabeth (Liz) Parrott Administrator Raleigh Ophthalmology ASOA President 2013 2014 At Raleigh Ophthalmology, we use KeyMed for our practice management software. It has served us well since 2007 scheduling is quite simple and billing works well with payments received timely. It has customizable reports that capture data in different formats. We added KeyChart (EMR) in 2008. One feature we like a lot is the ability to customize templates based on the sub specialty aspects of our practice. We can also make changes on the fly which reduces the need to call support. We have had technicians join us from other practices with EMR who have remarked how much they like our EMR due to the design and ease of use. It is a certified EMR and we have been able to attest each year for Meaningful Use. -Liz Parrott

20 Point Quality Control Checklist Protect yourself! Here are vital questions to ask. Selecting the right ophthalmic specific software for your practice can be time consuming and confusing. To help you make the right choice for your practice, we provide you with the following checklist. Feature Is the software ophthalmic specific? Does the vendor offer onsite training? Does the vendor offer free webinar training after implementation? Does the vendor offer toll free support? Does the vendor offer prompt responses? Are the vendor's support staff US based employees and not outside contractors? Does the software run in the Cloud if you prefer? Does the software run on your own in house server if you prefer? Can you view and enter data through the software on an ipad, tablet or computer of your choice? Are appointment templates customizable? Can you schedule appointments as far into the future as you want? In addition to electronic claims does the vendor offer automatic posting of Electronic Remittance Advice? Does the vendor offer automated eligibility checking? Does the vendor offer integrated optical shop software? Is the Electronic Health Records software ONC ACB 2014 Certified? Does the EHR interface with the IRIS Registry? Does the vendor offer Meaningful Use monitoring? Are exams easily customizable by you or your staff members so calling the vendor and possibly paying for customization isn t required? Does the vendor offer twice annual users groups so you can meet and talk with other ophthalmologists and their staff members to get the most out of your system? Does the vendor offer Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)? KeyMedical Software, Inc.
