Coming of age: TSI Healthcare’s advanced approach

TSI Healthcare’s approach to finding technical solutions for its client speaks of the company’s foresight. There is a belief in the world of commerce that in less than a decade, people can go to work without having to leave their homes. This principle is based on the growing role of the Internet in day-to-day life. Social networking and e-commerce are just the beginning of the many things that one can accomplish online in place of person-to-person contact.

Providing health care is a shared practice between the public and private sectors. The field, however, remains wanting in efficiency, speed, and adaptability. Rarely are there solutions made just for a company’s specific needs. TSI Healthcare offers services that may be customized for these specific needs, based on the original creation, storage, and retrieval process that software are built on.

The company’s approach to service is likewise predicated on several principles of the digital age. Computers are meant to create logically arranged data for the purpose of doing business efficiently, and to reduce the paper trail commonly associated with service provision.

The company begins by planning a customized program best suited for the clients’ needs, chief of which is a setting for efficient operations. In order to fully maximize the use of their products, training immediately follows. Initially, this involves basic instruction and workflow integration, which may be followed up with the TSI University program, a system of best practices sharing meant to keep key players involved and up to date on current trends.

The final steps include support and evaluation, which measures the success of the established program. Details of TSI Healthcare’s in-depth approach are available at www.tsihealthcare.com.

While other IT solutions providers are content with just providing their clients with generic how-to manuals and recorded videos, TSI Healthcare provides its clients with many avenues for training - turning them into experts at using the technology that has been made available to them. The first components of TSI’s training services are offered on its website and it offers education and training services to all the people involved in the practice’s workflow – from the providers to the staff. Following this initial staff training, TSI will then offer best practice tips and strategies that were pre-adjusted based on the initial feedback that it received.

Following the success of implementation, it is only to be expected that practices will grow and that their requirements will eventually change. Given this scenario of growth, TSI has also created the TSI University, a program designed exclusively for the ongoing educational benefit of its valued clients. Through the live courses offered in the program, medical practice teams can build on their best practices and improve on the effectiveness of their IT solutions.

Tampa Eye Clinic, Welcome to the TSI Healthcare Family!

Tampa Eye Clinic Partners with TSI Healthcare for Ophthalmology™, powered by NextGen™


TSI Healthcare proudly announced its partnership with Tampa Eye Clinic, one of the country’s leading eye care centers for LASIK, cataract surgery, and cosmetic treatment.  After thorough research on available Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Enterprise Practice Management (EPM) options, Tampa Eye Clinic selected TSI Healthcare to help them achieve true EHR adoption.  This partnership is the latest in a series of successful relationships TSI Healthcare has managed to secure in the past year.

Tampa Eye Clinic has chosen to deploy the fully integrated NextGen™ EPM and integrated EHR System at both locations for their 10 provider practice.  TSI Healthcare is a national leader in the sales, support and ongoing service of customized healthcare IT solutions from NextGen Healthcare™ with a strong focus in ophthalmology. Headquartered in North Carolina, TSI Healthcare works with physician offices throughout the country with a geographic emphasis on the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. 

“As an ophthalmic practice with the most recent technological advancements and some of the most experienced and well-trained surgeons in the country, we were looking for an EHR provider who could meet our standards and exceed our expectations,” said Aaron Bowman, practice administrator.  

“TSI Healthcare did just that with an ophthalmic-specific product which adapts to fit our workflow.  We were also very impressed with their single-database solution combining EPM and EHR as well as their hosting package which will greatly reduce our IT expenses.”

Scott Boyden, TSI Vice President of Sales & Marketing adds, ““We are thrilled to add Tampa Eye Clinic to the TSI Healthcare family.  Their reputation for excellence in ophthalmology is nationally known and we look forward to helping them achieve true adoption success.”

TSI Healthcare Customers Receive Government Incentives for Meeting EHR Requirements


  
From PRNewsWire: TSI Healthcare announced today that nineteen (19) of their physician practices had attested to successfully meeting “Meaningful Use” requirements of their ONC-ATCB Certified NextGen™ Electronic Health Records (EHR) Systems. These providers completed data collection last year and participated in the 2011 Stage 1 reporting period for the Federal Government sponsored EHR Incentives program.  These Clients represent the first round of TSI Healthcare’s clients expected to participate in the program during the 2011 and 2012 reporting periods.

“The impossible has become a reality.  Even with all the encouragement that money is being paid by the Federal Government, we were skeptical. However, the check in the bank is proof that anything is possible,” wrote Dr. Vic Khemsara, an ophthalmologist at Summit Eye Care in Winston Salem, NC.  Khemsara continues, “…a special thank you goes out to TSI Healthcare’s team who literally held our hands throughout this process.”

Another recipient of the Government Funds includes Yuma District Hospital & Clinics in Yuma, Colorado.  Jason Hawley, Director of Information Services at Yuma Hospital, shared similar sentiments, “From the Help Desk staff to the President’s office, everyone at TSI Healthcare has played a role in helping us reach Meaningful Use.  We could not have achieved this without their support and dedication to our success.”

The practices completing attestation include a variety of specialties with wide ranges of experience.  Some of the TSI Healthcare qualifying practices have just recently completed implementations while others have over seven (7) years of NextGen™ EHR experience.  To date, TSI Healthcare Clients have secured over $100,000 in incentive payments and an additional $294,000 is expected to be paid to Clients over the coming weeks.

TSI Healthcare’s approach to “Meaningful Use” is unique to the EHR industry.  In addition to providing hands-on assistance unique to each practice, TSI Healthcare’s Providers are encouraged to take part in TSI Healthcare’s Meaningful Use Readiness Analysis™.  This custom program examines their NextGen™ system utilization, provides a practice-specific roadmap to attainment, and educates the practice on the various aspects of the EHR Incentives program.

“We could not be more thrilled for our Clients who have achieved Meaningful Use and who are already receiving the financial rewards of this program,” said David Dickson, Jr., President and CEO of TSI Healthcare.  “These benefits are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and our Clients’ commitment to a new way of practicing medicine and taking care of patients.”
