FAQ

What is CCR?
LooPro^® includes a CCR module that enables medical providers to capture and transport essential patient information, including surgical history, demographics, medication, vital signs, diagnoses, allergies, and more, for effective continuation of care.

CCR is a standard specification being developed jointly by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International), the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS), the Health Information Management and Systems Society (HIMSS), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).  It is intended to foster and improve continuity of patient care, to reduce medical errors, and to assure at least a minimum standard of health information transportability when a patient is referred or transferred to, or is otherwise seen by, another provider.

What do I need to digitize my current records (paper charts)?
All you need to get started is a scanner.  Once you have scanned your charts into digital images, you can begin organizing them and integrating them with the rest of your records; online.

After I digitize my records, how much will it cost me to upload and maintain them in an electronic format; stored at MedCentricity?
Cost of electronic storage is far less than the physical space required to store paper charts, not considering additional possibilities for generating revenue by converting such space.  Like all other services, there are no setup or activation fees.  $19.95 per month will provide 1 GB of space and only $5 per GB thereafter.

What do I need to subscribe to your Medical Transcription Services?
All you need to get started is an Internet Browser and high speed Internet access.  To capture your voice/dictation, you must have a digital recorder or use phone-in-dictation.
