Accommodating the current trend towards multi-site practices, the ACOM Healthcare Business Division has introduced RAPID EPM v. 10.4.1, a new version of its chiropractic office management software that is optimized to speed and simplify the business management activities of geographically dispersed offices, it was announced today by Division Vice President and General Manager Gregory T. Church. Several multi-site practices are currently implementing or commencing use of the new version.

"Multi-site practices present additional complications for doctors accustomed to operating out of a single office," Church said. "Among the dangers are that patients might be sent to the
wrong office, that patient records might be hard to access and maintain, or that workflow might be impeded. RAPID EPM 10.4.1 provides a clean overall environment, improves workflow and
virtually eliminates the possibility of errors stemming from a complex professional environment."
In the multi-site office configuration, a centralized server housing the RAPID software and the central database is located at the primary office. RAPID EMR users -- usually equipped with
a tablet computer and on-board EMR software -- are linked via a virtual private network (VPN) to the database, building records generated as they examine and treat their patients. The
RAPID EPM software resides only on the central server. Staff at the remote offices communicates with it via terminal services, which allow them to log on directly to the software and the
database from desktop, laptop or tablet computers for all management purposes.
"This approach makes optimum use of the network and allows multi-site locations great flexibility - for example, to set up default locations for users and to assign patient
self-registration/information kiosks to specific locations," Church said. "It simplifies work flow and prevents confusion. Remote users see only the kiosks for their own locations,
eliminating the possibility of patients being sent to wrong kiosks and thus to the wrong treatment locations."
