Company History

eHealthcare Technologies, Inc. was created based on an identified need to improve the ability for clinicians and other health care professionals to manage the patient encounter experience. Current practice is to use the industry accepted and comprehensive code protocols, e.g., ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS, solely for classifying diagnosis and treatment for third party payment. “Coding” is done after the fact and separate from the patient encounter. Clinicians deal endlessly with re-entering and adjusting patient encounter notes and entries once a coder indicates these entries are not correct.

We saw an opportunity to utilize the code protocols as a tool to assist the clinician during the patient encounter to facilitate accurate diagnosis and development of treatment and test plans. Using machine learning and other proprietary techniques, the MIRR software process suggests codes (with the authoritatively defined code descriptors) to the clinician. This process occurs during the patient encounter. This becomes a tool to facilitate the development of diagnoses and treatments. It reduces the after the fact “back and forth” of coding to achieve an “acceptable” code for billing purposes.

We further saw the opportunity to adapt the clinician selected codes into the history of the patient encounter. The codes thereby become a standardize index of treatment within the patient’s continually growing EHR. This index allows real-time searching of the patient history during a patient encounter.

The opportunity fulfilled by MIRR includes a novel process to bring technology into the patient encounter experience. This is not only a technology issue but also a process issue. There is an abundance of technology at our disposal to address this industry-wide problem. Technology alone provides no relief. But with a deeper understanding of where weaknesses exist in the patient encounter processes – specifically where associated with correct diagnosis and procedure annotations and coding.

So, with over forty combined years of experience across intellectual property/patent law and technology, eHealthcare Technologies was formed. The minds at eHealthcare went to work [immediately] to build a solution that provides sophisticated annotation, accurate application of diagnosis/procedure codes, and EMR integration across medical specialties – eHealthview.

eHealthcare is now presenting to the world that we have accepted (and are addressing) the challenge before us – the challenge to provide improved accuracy in proper diagnosis and procedure code application as well as medical record integration of this data.
