South Florida Electronic Health Record firm to advance to the next step of US Government Certification.
The Quantum Group, Inc announced today, that through its subsidiary, Quantum Innovations, Inc. (QI), it has submitted its healthcare technology platform, PWeR® 2.0 for MU2 Certification with a private IT security laboratory approved by the U.S. Government Agency regulating the industry.
The platform has Meaningful Use 1 certification status (see below) and is supported in part by seven (7) approved and 15 pending patents. The accrediting organization has been authorized to perform complete EHR and/or EHR module testing and certification by an agency of the U.S. government, and is required to test and certify EHRs to the applicable certification criteria adopted by the U.S. Secretary under subpart C of Part 170 Part II and Part III as stipulated in the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule.
Noel J. Guillama, Chairman of The Quantum Group, Inc., commented, “We are extremely pleased to reach another milestone in our development of PWeR to transform the way healthcare is documented in this country. Our internal and external development teams will begin immediately to make the proper modifications, and submit each module for testing and approval. We believe PWeR can be a major change agent in the sharing of medical records in a patient centric platform achieving our objective of interoperability through our trademarked ‘One Patient…Total Connectivity™‘ concept. While our initial focus is centered within the U.S., we are exploring exporting opportunities worldwide.”
Scott Wolf, CEO of Grace Century, added, “We are proud for Quantum MU2 status, which will differentiate itself by achieving this certification. They deserve to be given the recognition that they have earned by their turn-key platform.”
Designed by The Quantum Group, and developed by Quantum Innovations, PWeR® is an intelligent healthcare technology platform hosted in the cloud (powered by Amazon) that combines a transformative EHR (electronic healthcare record) along with an expanded practice management system to include scheduling and billing components. It hosts medical records and permits the entire patient care team, including authorized primary care physicians, specialists and other healthcare organizations such as Management Services Organizations (MSOs) or Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), to share access to a patient’s medical record in real-time, in a secure HIPAA environment.
“This project continues to be the culmination of a 15 year personal passion for me,” Guillama further commented. With experience having received MU-1 compliance on December 31, 2013, The Quantum Group expects that it will be conducting testing of the platform over the next 120 days, and estimates approval before the end of 1st quarter of 2015.
