PGM releases new HL7 practice management interface
PGM Billing announced that its HL7 interface add-on, has been completed and is available for use in the latest version of their practice management system. The HL7 interface will allow full data integration for physicians using third party EMR software and PGMs practice management system.

It has long been a policy of PGM to maximize billing efficiency by interfacing with as many software and hardware environments as possible.  For over 30 years, PGM has been writing software interfaces to numerous hospitals and insurance companies throughout the country.  The emergence of EMR and EHR software over the past 24 months has increased the demand for interface programs.   Interfacing streamlines the billing process by eliminating redundancies in the system and by limiting the possibility of human error.   The new billing interface will allow PGM to work with virtually any EMR system with standard data export functionality.

“It just makes sense from a personnel and software perspective to have data pass seamlessly from Electronic Medical Record software directly into billing software.  We have written interfaces to so many hospitals and Insurance companies that it only makes sense to take advantage of the process with the EHR companies.”  said David Seebode, vice president of Information Technologies.

PGM Enhances Services and Implements 100% Cloud Based Computing
PGM announced today their commitment to enhance the quality of services it provides to clients.  A longtime advocate of Remote Access Technologies (point-to-point T1, direct VPN) PGM announced a new strategy with the introduction of several new servers running on Virtual platforms. One of the very best examples of how cloud computing is used to benefit PGM clients is it ability to deliver remote desktops to a large number of users. A desktop delivered from the cloud (as a Service) can provide immediate global network access from the variety of devices being brought into the organization by users. With the data residing on a centralized PCI-compliant cloud, the IT manager no longer has to worry about sensitive data residing on these outside user devices, which they have no control over.

“Use of the cloud has made it easier for PGM to control security concerns and to manage billing and other sensitive data, which is most important to our clients. It streamlines our ability to offer a national service to our clients while simultaneously requiring a single data center to control.” said David Seebode, Vice President of Information Technologies.
