Charge Capture Software for BlackBerry Storm has been released by pMDsoft.

pMDsoft, Inc. extended its popular mobile charge capture and rounding software to the BlackBerry Storm. This device, combining on-the-go connectivity with the simplicity of a touch interface, is a natural evolution for pMDsoft, which emphasizes realtime communication and exceptional ease of use. Practices seeking to save time, recover lost income, and improve patient hand-off can benefit immensely from charge capture; but only if they choose the right solution for their needs.

A paper solution for capturing charges - such as 3x5 index cards, the status quo for tracking hospital patients in many practices - is quick to use and highly mobile. No one can dispute its simplicity. Nonetheless, it exacts hidden tolls in the form of lengthy hand-off conversations, lost or forgotten charges, and delays in reaching the biller. While actually reducing the amount of time that it takes to document each patient encounter, an electronic solution can address these concerns; but only if it was designed well for this purpose.

Dr. Jonathan Matthews, of DFW Hospitalists, has realized the benefits of adopting an elegant charge capture solution such as pMDsoft. He stated: "pMDsoft has made our lives a lot simpler, saving me hours of administrative work every week. Now when I leave the hospital, I'm usually done with my billing by the time I get to the car. Information flows easily within my practice, and my life is more efficient - which is more important than ever now that I'm starting to grow my small hospitalist practice." For small practices, great technology can make the difference between prospering and struggling to stay independent.

Today's smartphones - capable, friendly devices such as the BlackBerry Storm and the iPhone - fortunately, have allowed pMDsoft to create a solution that is not only better than the competition; it's also definitely better than paper. ...
