Implementing an EHR system can be overwhelming for any doctor's practice, and even harder for a doctor that wants to attain Meaningful Use(1), but doesn't know where to start.  As a part of our ongoing effort to assist doctors in their migration from paper to digital, Medical Messenger has partnered with ComputerAssistant.com to provide three key services to Medical Messenger customers:

•Perform an assessment to understand the system requirements and hardware needs in preparation for a Medical Messenger installation
•Provide technical support throughout the migration and on an ongoing basis
•Perform immediate and/or ongoing monitoring of the Meaningful Use calculations for attestation

ComputerAssistant.com has a nationwide staff that performs this kind of on-site support everyday.  "We are excited to partner with Medical Messenger and provide support in the EHR initiative," said Stewart Powell, COO of ComputerAssistant. "It is a major opportunity for private practices and we will be there to assist and support them through the transition and successful implementation."

Doctors continue to seek assistance during this first year of EHR migration.  Since Medical Messenger believes that success is not achieved until each provider attains Meaningful Use, we continue to seek and deliver the services providers will need to achieve success.
