Patient Education

Our patient education system utilizes a patent pending process to get you paid to do group medical education that has been proven to change patient behavior and improve clinical outcomes. A groundbreaking, IRB approved, Navy Research Grant funded study of diabetic patients in a rural, mining town concluded with a mean hemoglobin A1C of 6.8 and a mean diabetic LDL of 88. Research has proven our method for chronic disease management works and creates real change unlike toll free nursing lines or patient rip sheets. Patient360’s educational programming will invigorate your practice, create more time for patient care, increase your practice revenue and simultaneously report through our Medicare Certified PQRI Registry.

Physician Quality Reporting Initiative Registry: Medicare Certified

In 2010 Medicare is paying 2% for PQRI reporting and an additional 2% for e-prescribing. Patient360™ is certified to report for all PQRI metrics for 2010 including e-prescribing and was one of the 16 original PQRI Medicare Certified Registries. With clients throughout the United States, our proprietary software has been 100% successful in getting our participating providers paid. Our product walks you through step, by step and notifies you of missing elements in a HIPAA secure, web based connection. In just under an hour per provider, you can be done with 2010 PQRI reporting and simply wait on your federal payments later this year. While currently voluntary, this is anticipated to move to a mandatory program in the next 36 months. Presently this is a Pay for Reporting not a Pay for Performance program. You don’t have to do well, you simply have to participate and we can help you and your patients achieve optimal clinical outcomes in the process. Sign up today.

Sample Calculation: $100,000 in Part B Payments to an eligible provider = $4,000 in PQRI Bonus for 2010 (PQRI and e-Rx reporting)
