The bill includes a two percent incentive for physicians who use electronic prescribing starting in 2009 and a two percent pay cut for Medicare-participating physicians who do not adopt e-prescribing by 2012. The electronic prescribing measures are part of H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. The bill is considered "veto-proof" because of its margin of passage, and has been sent to the President for his signature. The Netsmart Web seminar will focus on helping organizations understand how e-Prescribing works and to achieve the benefits of e-Prescribing. The Web seminar will be offered at several times: * Wednesday, July 23, Noon ET • Friday, August 1, 2:00 p.m. ET • Monday, August 11, 3:00 p.m. ET • Tuesday, August 19, 4:00 p.m. ET • Thursday, August 21, 11:00 a.m. ET Netsmart's InfoScriber e-prescribing solution will help behavioral health clinical staff achieve the e-prescribing-related benefits associated with H.R. 6331 and take advantage of the new incentives. InfoScriber is a secure, Web-based prescribing and medication management system developed for the unique requirements of behavioral health providers. InfoScriber checks drug interactions automatically at the time of prescribing and then routes the prescription electronically to the pharmacy of choice via the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange operated by SureScripts. InfoScriber can be used as a stand-alone application or linked with an organization's existing clinical systems to securely share demographic and medication information. InfoScriber is also integrated with Netsmart's Avatar, CMHC/MIS and Helper behavioral health practice management solutions to provide e-prescribing capabilities for users of those solutions. In addition to its e-prescribing functions, InfoScriber features a variety of medication management functions, including reporting capabilities that help reduce polypharmacy and medication interaction risks. "We are in a unique position to help providers take advantage of these new Medicare incentives because we provide the only e-prescribing solution in the market specifically designed for behavioral health," said James L. Conway, chief executive officer, Netsmart Technologies. "If an organization or practice is not using e-prescribing now, they must look at this bill as the catalyst to start prescribing electronically and realize the benefits to their consumers of reducing the possibility of medication errors and the opportunity to improve quality of care."

The video case studies include interviews with executive, clinical, financial, management, and information technology leaders from several organizations that are part of the Netsmart customer community, the largest in behavioral and public healthcare. The discussions cover a wide range of topics, including the implementation of electronic health records (EHR), the use of clinical and operational technology and processes, risk reduction, industry trends and challenges, and the emergence of connected care for consumers. Featured in the case studies are AltaPointe Health Systems, Inc. (formerly Mobile Mental Health) of Mobile, Alabama; the State of Nevada Division of Mental Health and Developmental Services; Verde Valley Guidance Clinic of Cottonwood, Arizona; and the Marion County, Indiana Health Department, which provides public health services to the residents of Indianapolis and surrounding area. In one video segment, Tuerk Schlesinger, CEO of AltaPointe Health Systems, discusses his agency's EHR implementation. "The new electronic health record has really been amazing in terms of being able to share data across our whole organization, from the most outer rural office to an inpatient hospital setting to an outpatient setting." In his case study, State of Nevada MHDS Director Dr. Carlos Brandenburg describes how his agency's integrated, single technology platform enables it to deliver a true EHR for mental health programs, and ultimately, provide a statewide connected system of care. "Our outpatient clinics are connected to our inpatient facilities," says Brandenburg. "We can track admission to discharge, we are able to track from treatment to billing, and it's integrated throughout the entire system." The Verde Valley Guidance Clinic faces several challenges common to many community behavioral health organizations, including unpredictable funding, the need to securely manage consumer healthcare, and a largely rural population requiring delivery of services to sometimes remote areas. In his DVD interview, Verde Valley CEO Robert Cartia discusses the idea and information sharing relationship between his organization and Netsmart, and how being a part of the Netsmart user community has kept Verde Valley ahead of the curve in planning for future technology needs.
