gMed develops specialty-based solutions that incorporate all elements of practice management. Currently, gMed offers three distinct products targeting Gastroenterology, Cardiology and Urology medical offices.

Medical Records Documentation

Medical office documentation requires a system that is specialty-specific, simple, fast and flexible. The robust, feature-rich gGastro+ and gCardio™ and gUro™ systems are easy-to-use, paperless solutions designed to enhance patient care and decrease workload for specialty practices. Both systems integrate to other systems (i.e. interfaces), patient portal and reporting.  Our systems include Health Maintenance and disease management guidelines, Patient Education and Clinical Decision Support.

• Advanced Procedure Reports (per specialty)

  Solution helps generate advanced Gastroenterology procedure reports that are simple, fast and highly detailed. Using gCare™, physicians and staff can generate procedure notes, referring physician letters, discharge notes and electronic test requisitions in 3 minutes or less for the following procedures: (vary based on specialty)

  • Lower Endoscopy (Colonoscopy (PDF link) / Sigmoidoscopy)
  • EGD (Upper Endoscopy)
  • Combined procedures (Upper and Lower Endoscopy)
  • ERCP
  • Esophageal Dilation
  • Others

• Image Management

  Incorporates a browser-based image manager capable of acquiring static images in real-time directly from any video-endoscope. Images are then stored for printing, labeling or remote retrieval and incorporated selectively into the final procedure report, discharge note, referral letter and other documentation.

• Automatic Documentation

  Includes discharge notes and referring physican letters.

• Order Tracking

  Physician orders are documented and sent to medical assistants directly from the note writer or from the automated order tracking system. This allows for better management of patient care and reduction of errors and omissions.

• Laboratory Results Management

  Nurses and physicians can receive and manage all laboratory orders from the automated results management system. Currently, there are interfaces built for many national laboratories. Most results are received immediately after a transmission is sent directly from the laboratory.

• Prescription Management

  Directly from the note writer or from the prescription module the physician can legibly and accurately write prescriptions and electronically send them directly to the pharmacists. Using cost effective and paperless prescriptions the writer can reduce time for refill requests and allow allied staff to easily search for previous prescriptions using an advanced database system.

• Automated Coding

  Billing and compliance costs are dramatically reduced while shortening the A/R cycle. Interfaces to several medical billing systems, including Millbrook and Mars are included in the software. Using the imbedded coding logic, physicians can optimize E/M coding to the highest level of specificity allowing to increase reimbursements.

• Paperless Faxing

  Inbound faxes are received in an electronic form decreasing costs and increasing profits. Nurses and assistants can file faxes electronically into patient's record or send for review to anyone in the organization. Faxes can be sent directly from the system without having to send a hard copy.

• Intelligent Scanning

  Scanning patient records, while decreasing time and cost, allows users to acquire patient medical history in an easy manner. Medical staff is able to input and route relevant information within seconds.

• Task Management

  Physicians and nurses can track orders, results, messages and tasks performed on the patient securely and easily. It also allows communication between the staff and the patients to be enhanced, while decreasing liabilities and costs. In addition, this feature enhances the office manager's control over staff productivity.

• Call Center Management

  All inbound calls and messages can be managed in a secure and cost effective way. The messages are sorted appropriately to the physicians and allied staff for patient use. These messages are then placed in the medical records for future access. This not only increases patient satisfaction, but also healthcare efficiency.

• Electronic Messaging

  Ability to send prescriptions and receive renewal requests electronically to and from pharmacies using the SureScripts network.

• Appointments

  Allows users to create work lists or appointment lists manually or using an interface to another system.

• Voice Recognition Technology

  Physicians and nurses can use speech recognition software. The software instantly converts what users say into text, eliminating the long turnaround times and costs of transcriptions. Using the latest medical terminology dictionary, users can easily achieve accuracy rates of up to 99%.
