Building a Bridge between Healthcare IT and Biomedical Engineering
Modern medical centers are dependent on computers and networked communications. Specialists in biomedical computing and biomedical engineering are key contributors to health care environments and health data management interpreting medical information to correctly identify IT errors and solve problems.
Cross-trained IT technicians examine medical data properly and understand medical language to ensure that your facility is functioning efficiently and without error.
The benefits of cross-training
Cross-trained technicians allow a facility to get the best of both worlds through an understanding of biomedical engineering as well as information technology. Binovia’s cross-trained bITomeds (bye-tee-oh-meds) offer a skill that no other informatics or biomedical services firm can. These technicians provide the services that two separately trained technicians used to perform. With these cross-trained skills technicians can efficiently overlap into biomedical and IT issues without the need for outside help, efficiently solving issues and increasing facility efficiency.
Healthcare Informatics
Our professional biomedical engineers and IT technicians help manage the technology change while keeping the basics of your operation/facility in mind. We can not only manage your information systems, but we can also train your existing staff to work on internal issues as well as serve as backup consultants for future biomedical and IT maintenance and problem solving.
Whether it’s technology relating to procuring/purchasing newer clinical devices or modalities, we can help in multiple areas:
- Impact Analysis: a complete break down the impact of this change
- Assessment of the best equipment for your practice
- Implementation and clinical acceptance
- Recommend and implement computer networks, communication and IT upgrades
- Clinical technology evaluation
- bITomed™ technicians — biomedical engineers trained in equipment service as well as Information Technology can help implement new systems and train your staff to use them.
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering is a crucial part to keeping healthcare facilities running properly. In addition to offering healthcare IT services, Binovia’s technicians are also trained biomedical engineers. They ensure your facility is up to date and running smoothly. Equipment upgrades are carried out, old technology is phased out and new systems are implemented quickly and efficiently. Our biomedical engineers are not only dedicated to keeping up, but also putting your facility ahead of the latest technological advances, increasing efficiency and interoperability between the departments of your healthcare facility.
Electronic Medical Record - EMR
The electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) are fast becoming the industry standard in healthcare records management. With the government strongly encouraging a national transition to EMRs, Binovia can help make sure that your facility is up-to-date and ready for any governmental changes. While many facilities struggle with making the conversion from paper to electronic medical records, Binovia works directly with your staff to ensure a smooth transition. We implement the process efficiently and provide specialized EMR and EHR system implementation and training services to help you transition from paper records to electronic records.
Some of the offerings included with Binovia’s Electronic Medical Record are:
- Electronic scheduling
- Electronic billing
- CAMOS (Computer Aided Medical Ordering System)
- DICOM image scanning
- Electronic prescriptions
- Dictation directly into patient records
Medical Equipment Repair
Proper maintenance and repairs for medical equipment are continually necessary. Binovia’s skilled cross-trained technicians can repair and service your medical devices to ensure proper functionality so you can provide the highest level of service to your patients. Our technicians and account representatives also work closely with your staff to plan properly for implementation of new equipment and phasing out of old technology to guarantee that your facility is always on track with new technology.
