The Power Behind Enterprise EHR Software for Large Healthcare Systems
Enterprise EHR boosts scalability, interoperability, and governance for large healthcare systems.
It did a reverse merger with Vertical Health Solutions, a Florida corporation, becoming its wholly owned subsidiary in April, thereby separating itself from a stumbling incubator which gave it life.
The company’s technology was developed inside Mayo Clinic before Mayo licensed it to the company. OnPoint’s software automates a mandatory accreditation process required of hospitals and imaging centers to get federal reimbursement for MRI scans. A federal mandate to require regular accreditation is set to go into effect in January 2012. Private insurers are already requiring accreditation, Cavanaugh explained in an earlier interview.
