A.R.M.S. Tar­gets Health Care Facilities

http://www.sdbmagazine.com/news/news.asp?ID=9236

Auto­mated Records Man­age­ment Sys­tems (A.R.M.S.) <http://www.arms4rim.com> , De Pere, Wis., has joined the Wis­con­sin Health Infor­ma­tion Man­age­ment Asso­ci­a­tion (WHIMA) <http://www.whima.org>  in an effort to meet the chang­ing needs of health care facilities.

Accord­ing to esti­mates, just 8 per­cent of the nation’s 5,000 hos­pi­tals and 17 per­cent of its 800,000 physi­cians cur­rently use a com­mon com­put­er­ized record-keeping sys­tem. The Health Infor­ma­tion Tech­nol­ogy for Eco­nomic and Clin­i­cal Health (HITECH) Act, passed as part of the Amer­i­can Recov­ery and Rein­vest­ment Act of 2009, is designed to increase the use of elec­tronic med­ical records (EMRs).

“Trans­fer­ring health records to elec­tronic for­mat is a major under­tak­ing for our coun­try, and many of our health care facil­i­ties need assis­tance in find­ing a solu­tion that will work best for them as well as mak­ing sure they are com­ply­ing with rules and reg­u­la­tions in place,” says Eric Haas, pres­i­dent of A.R.M.S. “By join­ing WHIMA, we’ll be able to offer our cur­rent and future clients addi­tional ser­vices. In addi­tion, WHIMA offers fre­quent train­ing ses­sions, so our cus­tomers can be assured our staff are informed as soon as a new reg­u­la­tion is put into place.”
