MEDLINKS is a New England based healthcare IT consulting practice. We can provide a full range of EMR support to most small to mid size healthcare organizations. Together with our partner, Technology Solutions of America, we can offer services for selection, implementation, computers, networking, ongoing support, certification, and incentive reimbursement assistance.

Whether you’re a large city based physician practice or an independent rural caregiver, you have seen or will see your computer needs grow from a few PCs, to a highly complex electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management information system.  Your system should consists first of a secure firewalled Internet connection to a router which could have several wired and wireless PCs, file servers, fax servers, smart phones, printers, and scanning devices attached to it.  Your software may include your practice’s electronic medical records, electronic prescriptions, insurance and claim data, purchases, payments, scheduling, cash management, word processing, email, anti virus, and backup software. You will need at least a mid level IT support analyst's level of knowledge of all the above hardware and software or MEDLINKS can provide this support.

MEDLINKS can also assist eligible healthcare providers and hospitals obtain MEDICARE and MEDICAID incentive payments for installing a electronic medical record (EMR) system that meets certain requirements. The incentive payments can be as high as $67K for providers and over $2M for hospitals. MEDLINKS can assist in vendor selection of an EMR, if you do not have one, or need a new one. If you do have one, we can test and document the requirement measures needed for incentive payments to determine if you qualify . Please see the info on this page for EMR Incentive payments.

Although much of the initial investment may be recouped through incentive payments, the ongoing operation and maintenance cost can be significant.  Hardware needs to be replaced every few years, software costs may have annual licensing fees, and now, your practice is dependent on the uptime of this system.  Unexpected failures will cost time and money and could impact patient care.

Most large organizations have dedicated information technology (IT) staff to maintain these complex systems that rival those of small hospitals.  If this is not an option, MEDLINKS can provide these functions through a combination of remote monitoring and onsite visits at a fraction of the cost of hiring dedicated staff.  With MEDLINKS, you have a single point of contact for all your computing needs.
