BMWPlatform: One Solution Does it All

The Braintree Medical Workflow Platform (BMWPlatform) is an intranet, web-based medical workflow software application that combines all the functions of every department in a medical facility into one complete package. It automates scheduling and admittance, the creation and updating of electronic medical records (EMRs), management of medical images, data distribution, monitoring of supplies and inventory, formulation of clinical reports and medical billing reports, generation of the practice analysis, and any other tasks that are considered necessary in running a medical facility. It even has a built-in PACS server for image management and distribution, and it is fully compliant with the standards of DICOM, HIPAA and HL7.

Components

With BMWPlatform, there is no need for separate software applications, add-ons, or plug-ins, because BMWPlatform does it all:

• RIS: radiology information systems such as scheduler, modality worklist, study routing, etc.
• PACS: picture archive communication systems including the capture of a patient’s digital image; archiving, communication, and manipulation of digital images; routing and distribution of digital images, as well as clinical applications to analyze digital images.
• EMR: admissions, nursing, H&P, pre procedure, intra procedure, post procedure, medications, ePrescribing, messaging, clinical and billing reports, and more.
• ERP: enterprise resource planning including supply chain, medical inventory, employee timekeeping, vendor management, and more.
• Practice Analysis: reports for everything, including procedure rate, complications, exams vs. charges, schedule planned vs. actual, referring physician trends, referrals by market segment, employee efficiency, productivity, unfinished procedures, billing on time, patient time, referring physician time, procedure costing, and more.
