What Makes Dr. Chrono a Health 2.0 Company

What defines a Health 2.0 company?  Sometimes it is clear what a Health 2.0 company is, at other times it is not.  Some companies would have you believe that connecting software to the web makes that company a Health 2.0 company and will have a long list of all the ways that their software is connected.  However, it is not that simple.  No matter how long that list is, it is not the LIST that makes a Health 2.0 company. So, what is it that defines a Health 2.0 Company? It’s the connections being the center of the users,  software and other technology. Let me use DrChrono.com as an example.

Why is DrChrono.com Heath 2.0?

Imagine this scenario: Dr. Smith would like to get a report of all the patients for which he has had problems with insurance. Dr. Smith discusses the parameters with DrChrono.com that would need to be considered to generate this report and DrChrono.com enables Dr. Smith to generate this custom report. But wait, DrChrono.com is a Health 2.0 company, and now this “custom report” becomes a feature of DrChrono.com, available to all users.  No updates necessary, and Dr. Adams does not need to ask and pay for the development of the same “Custom” report. That is what makes DrChrono.com is a great example of a Health 2.0 company.

Medisoft – Exporting your data out.

One of our doctor customers is using Medisoft software to keep track of their practice and would like to export patient data from time to time to move the data between software applications. Michael and I have been looking into different ways to export this patient data.

Shedding some light, Medisoft uses a backend database called Advantage, a database product owned by Sybase. There are data export tools like ABC Amber Advantage Converter to export data directly from Advantage, from what I hear you can also use MS Access to export this data.

I called Medisoft asking about how to export data from the Medisoft product line and they told me that there is an option to export the data in PDF format and direclty into excel, if this is true then that is another viable option. Can anyone out there send me some screen shots on how to do this?

I am looking into all solutions and will be updating this post from time to time.

Feel free to contact us at support@drchrono.com if you need help exporting this data as well.
