The old time the old days they used to tell you to back it up in a local hard drive but if something happens to your office you lose both servers and you lose the backup you’re supposed to bring that home every night. You supposed to do it once a week every day it doesn’t happen as we all know that it’s actually something that typically does not happen. And what they’re doing now is recommending that that you backup your data in the cloud so you have to hope that happens that you actually do it every time. You’re not going to be in a position where you can verify that it was done correctly or that data backup actually would work if you needed to restore your data. And even say that all that happens and you do properly it still cost you extra money every month you can count on an extra 50 bucks a month just to back up your data which is ultimately in the internet in the cloud on a cloud-based server anyway. Again that requires your time to confirm that what happened and what if you have multiple locations that has to happen at every location. This on our side is managed by Genesis you don’t have any zero data you have zero downtime so if you do have downtime like again like hurricane sandy. As soon as you need that system again you can log in, log in from anywhere anytime and the same system is sitting there wait waiting for you. You can be in the parking lot in hurricane sandy being the parking lot of where your practice used to be. Pop quote you’ll get a portable table laptop in it and your cell phone you’re back in business. The data in our system is backed up in real time if you back up your data with a client server system it’s typically the best case scenario it’s once a day more likely it’s like once a month. With our system it’s real-time seer if you’re doing a note in our system and you change one thing it’s backed up every few seconds so that change even if your whole practice crashes you can get right back to where you were. You know at the time it crashed because as soon as you log back into the system that note is saved with the changes you made in real time. You don’t have to confirm that the data is backed up actually it shows you on the screen as if being backed up when the last backup happened. It’s just a basic function of a web-based platform. If you have multiple locations it’s also backed up in all locations and not only is that mean the number of locations where you are but it also is backed up in multiple locations on our side so there’s redundancy built into the back up. For your practice if you back it up on a hard drive and bring it home that’s it that’s your only hope if something happens on our side the data is backed up in a secure data center again our data center was is actually in New Jersey one of them is in New Jersey it was basically in the direct path of hurricane sandy it experienced zero downtime. It stayed up the entire through hurricane sandy. All the data was maintained. The data within the data center it’s not just on our server we have multiple servers which are backing each other up repeatedly throughout the day and then we have other redundancy built in where we have servers in other locations one of which is in florida for example. Again backing each other up web-based platform again when stands up.
What They Dont Want You To Know Chapter-1
PART 1 What Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know Chapter 1 Insurance Companies’ Strategy: How They Really Make Their Money A lot of doctors I speak to think insurance companies have it out for chiropractors because they hate what we do. But I can tell you that it is not about our philosophical approach to health and wellness or musculoskeletal conditions. They really do not care about any of that. What they care about is whether they will pay or not pay. The insurance process is currently so automated that I can assure you that there is not a person sitting at a desk in the insurance company holding on to your money because they do not like chiropractors. An insurance company is big business. Just like any other business, it is made up of three things: People Process Technology They use those three things to make as much profit per unit as possible. In this case, the unit is an insurance claim. That being said, you will soon start to see that they actually love chiropractic, just not for the reasons we may hope for. For years, I thought insurance companies made their money by collecting premiums and then not paying claims. That meant they would increase their profit per claim substantially. But if you think about it, if insurance companies simply denied claims, they would look really bad in the eyes of their customers, the patients. What they really want to do is make it look like they are trying to pay claims but the doctor is simply not cooperating in some way, shape, or form. The name of the game is slowing down payment or taking the money back after they’ve already paid the claim and the customer is satisfied—that is, an audit. Think about the audit from the customer’s (the patient’s) perspective. They are covered for a visit or visits, and then they get a letter from the insurance company stating that their doctor is being audited. Their visit is still paid, and the insurance company looks like the good guy. But the doctor looks like the bad guy. We’ll look at this more in a bit. But there is more to the story. How They Really Make Their Money—Paradigm Shift To begin to understand insurance companies’ motives and, more importantly, what you can do about it, you just need to follow the money. Here is a little known fact: More than 50% of insurance companies’ profits come from interest. This is also known as float—or interest on money that should have been paid to you but was somehow delayed.
What Software Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Your Data Security and Liability – Chapter 13
Chapter 13 What Software Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Your Data Security and Liability 8 Secrets of Software Companies and the Truth You Need to Know I have spent close to 14 years building cloud-based software for doctors. I was a pioneer in that area. Patient data security was always at the top of my list of concerns. Many software companies have been spreading misinformation about data security and your level of exposure. I stop short of calling them lies because based on what I hear software companies saying, it is probably more a lack of knowledge and experience. As a doctor, that bothers me. What if I had listened to them and then realized later how much they were actually costing me? Here are eight facts software companies do not want you to know: There are two types of systems There are basically two types of software systems: client server and cloud- or Web-based. Client server means the server and data are stored in the doctor’s office. Then other computers in that office connect to that internal server. All the computers and the server have to have software installed on them. The software needs to be updated on a regular basis. Examples are ChiroTouch and Platinum. Cloud- or Web-based means the server and data are stored in the cloud—or more accurately, stored on a server that is in a data center connected to the doctor’s practice by the Internet. The software is also stored on those servers. You can think of it like the online version of QuickBooks. Genesis is a cloud-based product. You still own your data if it is stored in the cloud Here is where the misinformation starts. Client server software companies have been telling doctors that if their data are on a cloud server, they don’t own them. There’s no other way to say it—it is a big fat lie. You always own your own data. It doesn’t matter where the server is. You can access your data if you switch software companies Of course you can. Client server companies have been telling clients just the opposite for years: “If you ever leave that company, you can’t access your data again.” It is a scare tactic—misinformation—for several reasons. First, if a company ever held your patient data and would not give you access to it, it would be illegal. By law, cloud-based systems must store PHI (protected health information) for seven years (or whatever the legal requirement is for your state). Your ability to access data if and when you switch software companies is actually much better in the cloud. We’ll look at that in more detail later. If you are going to go with a cloud-based solution, you should make sure the company has extensive experience and a long track record. Do not choose a cloud-based company that just happens to pop up or a client server company that suddenly decides to build a cloud-based version of their product. Even though they seem similar, they are very different. I can tell you this based on 15 years of experience with cloud-based technology. A cloud-based company cannot hold your data hostage if you leave Maybe software companies are unaware of this, or maybe it’s another case of misinformation. Or maybe they have no clue about running a business. But I have my own opinion. There are legal and contractual protections against exactly this. From that perspective, your data are more than safe should you decide to go with a cloud solution, assuming it spells that out in your agreement with them, which it should. The truth is that we are all in business, so let’s think about this pragmatically as well. Imagine what would happen from a PR standpoint if a cloud-based system withheld access to a former client’s patient records. It just doesn’t make sense. In the age of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets, withholding access to a client’s data for no real reason, legal or not, would be just plain stupid. Most cloud-based systems have a clause in their contracts that covers former clients who need to gain access to patient files. Again, consider the alternative. You buy a new client server system. You use it for a few years. You decide to go in another direction. Maybe you choose to move to the cloud. Five years later, a patient has a legal case unrelated to your practice and requests records that were on your old client server system from seven years ago. By law, you are required to provide them. You go into the dark recesses of your office where your old server is. Hopefully, you still have a computer connected to the server. In any case, you haven’t fired up either of those babies in five years. Who are you going to call? How will you get the records? What if the server doesn’t even turn on? If you don’t have a computer hooked up to that computer, you’ll need to do so. Will a new computer be compatible? In any case, it will need to have the software installed on it. If you don’t have the software anymore, do you think that old software company will actually give you a license? What if they were bought out in the meantime? (By the way, there’s a reason all those client server systems are getting bought out.) My data are safest on the cloud PHI data are some of the most valuable data on the black market. This is the question you should be asking: Where will a hacker most likely try to get that data? You might think it makes sense for them to go to a large data center where the most data are stored. But here is the correct answer: They will go where it is easiest to get the data. We know the hardest place for a hacker to try to get data My software is cloud-based, so our data are stored
Taking Chiropractic to the Next Level – The Research Now We’ve Got ’Em – Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Taking Chiropractic to the Next Level – The Research Now We’ve Got ’Em Working together by leveraging technology to decrease overhead, save time, increase patient retention, simplify compliance, increase collections, and keep insurance companies on their toes is great. But it is not enough. We can do more. The cloud gives us (our profession) one more very important advantage: research data. We can now enter our patients’ subjective and objective findings into one standardized, centralized system. Each visit is paired with coding and reimbursement data. Now We’ve Got ’Em It is now possible for us to show that chiropractic is the most cost-effective way to improve not only musculoskeletal conditions but overall health and well being. The possibilities are endless. Genesis has teamed up with universities, researchers, and organizations to do just that. Note: As a provider, you never have to share your patient and reimbursement data for research purposes if you do not want to.
