Holiday Special Episode: The Cash-Based Medical Practice Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relation to running an independent out-patient medical practice. In today's episode, we speak with Dr.James Mahoney about the cash-based medical practice and Eva. The cash-based medical practice is a model of providing direct care to patients without third-party interference in decision-making. This approach demands the highest quality of care and patient satisfaction with transparent pricing that’s agreeable to all. Eva is the first smart medical software driven by clinical workflows and patient outcomes. Eva's user interface is beautiful and user-friendly allowing you to focus your time on patients, not on redundant charting demands. Resources: Is Eva Right for You? Video 1 Is Eva Right for You?

Onboarding Medical Software Support Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relationship to running an independent out-patient medical practice. In today's episode, we speak with Dr.James Mahoney, Nathan Armstrong, and Jeremy Miles about the onboarding support provided to adopt our medical software solution, Eva. Traditional medical software or EMR/EHR companies provide you with onboarding directed around the transportation of your medical data and learning how to use the system. This approach fails to ask, answer, and provide a solution to the most important question of the entire onboarding process, "How do you want this software to support you in your daily clinical workflow?". To answer this question and provide a solution Eva Health's onboarding focuses on defining your unique clinical workflows and training Eva on how to do them. Eva is your expert virtual assistant, let us support you in training her to accomplish your clinical workflow tasks. Resources: Is Eva Right for You? Video 1 Is Eva Right for You?

Eva Podcast S1 Ep9: Smart Scheduling Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relation to running an independent outpatient medical practice. In today's episode, we speak with Nathan Armstrong, COO of Eva Health about Smart Scheduling. Nathan's long career in IT has dipped in and out of the medical industry over the past sixteen years. In this timeframe, he has developed not only a diverse skillset but also a deeply rooted passion for helping people. When you combine passion with an impressive collection of applicable skills the result is groundbreaking. Nathan talks to us about Smart Scheduling, what it is, and why it is important for patient outcomes and practice success. Smart scheduling seems to be a buzzword for medical software companies. Generally, it’s about automating some of the scheduling processes, including patient communications. While automation can be helpful, we do not believe automating a calendar is enough at Eva Health. Eva smart scheduling is an active collaboration between smart medical software and medical staff. If your software “knows” what each visit entails your scheduler can really begin to engage in a smart scheduling process. Resources: Eva Smart Scheduling

Podcast S1 Ep7: Interview with Kristine Kjolhede, APRN, MSN, FNP-C Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relationship to running an independent out-patient medical practice. In today's episode, we interview Kristine Kjolhede, APRN, MSN, FNP-C. While working as an ER nurse with Cook Children’s Medical Center, she continued her education earning her M.S. in Nursing from Maryville University and certification in Family Practice in 2017. During this 8-year journey, Kristine grew to realize the sick-care model of caring for her patients wasn’t working, and discovered, personally, the miracle and benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). We are inspired by Kristine's professional journey to become a Nurse Practitioner and an independent medical practice owner. Kristine talks to us about how she uses Eva to run her solo operation Thrive Hormone Health and Wellness.

Podcast S1 Ep6: The No Surprise Act and the 21st Century Cures Act Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relationship to running an independent out-patient medical practice. We also discuss the technological solutions we've created at EvaHealth to help support independent medical practices across the country. EvaHealth is a company focused on reimagining healthcare with better technological solutions that help medical practices and their patients thrive. On today's episode 'The No Surprise Act and the 21st Century Cures Act' we explore these two federal regulations with Dr.J and how they transform patient care. The “Cures Act” requires healthcare providers give patients access to all of the health information in their electronic medical records. The No Surprises Act included patient protections against large medical bills and now requires price transparency. Both the 21st Century Cures Act and the No Surprises Act make sense. To provide complete patient centric care we must not only include the patient, but empower the patient in their health care journey with full access to all their health information. Eva is an open notes platform with full patient transparency. This means Eva meets both federal regulations and more. A fully open notes and billing system is the way of the future, and Eva is already there.

Podcast S1 Ep4: Writing Notes & Physician Burnout Welcome to the Eva Podcast where we discuss all things Health Information Technology (HIT) in relation to running an independent outpatient medical practice. We also discuss the technological solutions we've created at EvaHealth to help support independent medical practices across the country. EvaHealth is a company focused on reimagining healthcare with better technological solutions that help medical practices and their patients thrive. On today's episode 'Writing Notes & Physician Burnout' we discuss our recent blog post 'Writing Notes'. Charting, writing notes, writing scripts, referrals and dealing with prior authorizations are all logistical pain points for everyone in a medical practice, but especially for independent providers who are also balancing the responsibilities of owning their practice. Why are these tasks STILL daunting, and terribly time-consuming with so much technology at our fingertips? Unfortunately, most EHRs were developed without input from clinical professionals so instead, these systems mimic the workflow of accountants and insurance administrators. That’s why their user interface is cumbersome, difficult to navigate and nearly impossible to customize. These systems cause providers to lose faith in their ability to balance patient care with timely documentation. So, instead of creating notes to maximize the quality of care, providers provide documentation for reimbursement and risk management. Ultimately, the medical record becomes less and less valuable when executed for the wrong reasons. All this plays a major role in physician burnout and the breakdown of the provider-patient relationship. We needed a solution so we created Eva. Eva is a cloud-based solution for independent medical practices that are designed around the doctor-patient relationship integrating note-taking into the clinical workflow and transforming the experience into a collaborative effort that enables real shared decision-making.
