True Internet / Cloud EHR System Ideal for Educating Providers, Clinical Staff, and REC Support Staff
San Antonio, TX –Sevocity, a division of Conceptual MindWorks, Inc. (CMI), today announced Sevocity U, its Internet-based Ambulatory Electronic Health Records (EHR) program for Regional Extension Centers (RECs), Local Extension Centers (LECs), Management Service Organizations (MSOs), Technical Colleges, Universities, Medical Schools, and other organizations needing a turn-key EHR for training.
The Program
Under the program, educational organizations will receive free use of the fully functional Sevocity EHR for up to 20 users (teachers and students) through a demonstration clinic specifically for the educational organization. Because Sevocity is a true Internet-based EHR, these organizations will not need to purchase, install, or maintain any servers or special software. All that is required to access the system is a standard personal computer and an Internet connection, making student access for training and practice easy for the educator. Sevocity U demonstration clinics will use the fully functional production version of Sevocity EHR.
CCHIT Certified
Sevocity 08 is CCHIT Certified® by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT®) and meets the Commission’s ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2008. Sevocity will release its next version of Sevocity EHR this summer, at which time the company will apply for CCHIT 2011. Sevocity is also committed to “meaningful use” certification and plans to apply as soon as certification is available. Sevocity’s customer agreement includes a commitment to certification and any other requirements for providers to receive EHR incentives under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA).
“We developed this program because we recognize the tremendous challenge Regional Extension Centers and other educators have teaching clinicians and others about Electronic Health Records in a very short period of time and with limited funding,” stated Catherine Huddle, VP of Market Development with Sevocity. “While more standardization of EHRs is coming, today most systems have the same basic functionality. Because Sevocity is a true Internet-based EHR and is very easy to use, it provides the ideal platform for educators providing EHR training.”
Assessment
Sevocity is rolling out this program in phases. Phase I begins today with the availability of Sevocity to the first ten (10) educational organizations that apply. Interested organizations should contact Sevocity at 877-777-2298 or EHReducation@Sevocity.com.

Do eMRs Save Money?
Michigan Dental Association responds
Yesterday, an anonymous person employed by the Michigan Dental Association censored my question, “Do electronic dental records save money in dentistry?” without explanation, so I repeated it for her. This morning, she replied:
“Dr. pruitt, as a texas dental association member, we believe that your concerns with ada policy should best be addressed by that association. the mda reserves the right to remove comments from its facebook page as it sees fit. thank you for your engagement with organized dentistry, but please direct your comments to your constituent society.”
———————
I disagree. Here is what I sent MDA this morning:
Dear Michigan Dental Association
Whoever you are, surely you acknowledge that because of the weight of this issue, where I’m from shouldn’t concern you. Please put aside your concerns about superficial appearances and take my question for face value: Does the MDA think eDRs will save money in dentistry? It’s an easy question.
What is more important to you, MDA Person? Uncovering the truth about American’s access to dentistry or keeping Texans off of your Facebook? Surely you understand that this question is important to Michigan residents as well. Please don’t play petty, regrettable games to avoid accountability. I am serious. You are anonymous.

Patients Want to See their Notes
[Doctors Not So Sure]
In the OpenNotes trial, conducted at three primary care practices in Boston, Seattle and rural Pennsylvania, 254 physicians were asked whether they would be willing to make their office visit notes freely available to patients in their electronic health records for one year: 114 agreed, and 140 declined.
Of the doctors who agreed to participate, 69% to 81% said they thought the transparency was a good idea and beneficial for patients. Among the patients, 92% to 97% said having access to the notes would be helpful and 75% of patients said it would improve their adherence to their medications.
Information, like medical records, wants to be free. Can patients really handle the truth?
