New Features for ObGynPocketPro v3.5

Focused Automatic Billing And Coding
- You put in the clinical information, we automatically get the ICD9 and CPT® codes and create the Bill for you in the background - why should you have to waste time being a "coding cashier"?
- Automatic billing for deliveries, c-sections, miscarriages, ectopics, and over a hundred possible Gyn surgeries.
- You simply review the final Bill, adjust as needed to refine information only you can know, then Email, Print, or Export the Bill.
- Coming in next release: automatic billing for office visits
and consults
(working now for some clinical circumstances, however billing trees and orders are now fully available - see below)
Customizable Electronic Billing & Coding
- The entire database of CPT® and ICD9 codes are at your disposal to look up - not as nice as our automatic part, but better than delaying and having to look up in a book or hunt and peck on a charge sheet.
- Customizable Coding "Trees" help you get to frequently used codes rapidly. This is just like your usual paper office list of commonly used codes, only better because it is organized in an expandable/collapsible tree table.
- Best of all, you can create many trees and associate them with the clinical encounter. For example, you wouldn't need surgical codes while in the office, and office codes while in the OR, so you can have a surgery tree and an office tree. Then, add or subtract codes as you see fit to match your own personal clientele.
- New - Office Orders (labs, imaging, etc) and follow up appointments
Automatic Dictations
- Let's face it, most of us use the same techniques the majority of the time - especially routine cesarean sections or hysterectomies. That repetition is what makes us skilled. Why bother re-dictating the same words every time? Just use the many pre-dictated and transcribed surgical descriptions and modify the minor changes on the fly in seconds.
- Your automatic dictations need not be transcribed, or signed later in medical records after transcribing - simply set the particular information for your patient, then Print or Email them electronically signed, and automatically billed - in under one minute!
- You and your hospital can save thousands on transcription costs - the average physician spends $300-$1000 per month on transcription costs - we can easily save you half of that and more EACH and EVERY month!
Mobile Voice Dictations
- For those difficult surgeries that just don't fit the mold, or for the consults or referral letters where templates simply don't work, you can still dictate - right there, on your PocketPC! Then, send the encrypted dictation ".wav" file to your transcriptionist via email. They will get it immediately, just as if you used your hospital or phone system (and much faster if you accumulate dictations on a tape). Then, the transcriber simply uses our freely available Desktop Companion Software to "decrypt" the wav file and use the built in transcriber features to create your final document. You'll still have to go sign it later, so you'll want to use the pre-built customizable templates as often as possible to save you time. Would you rather be taking care of patients instead of taking care of charts, paper, and medical records?
Automatic ObGyn Operative Notes
- The majority of ObGyn surgeries are preset in ObGynPocketPro - you will finish your entire operative note and brief operative note in seconds - with a complete turnaround time from surgery time to completed, signed, dated, and billed in minutes! - that can take up to a month in many practices, and more.
- The current patient information (diagnosis, anesthesia, findings, etc) are integrated into the template.
- The templates are completely customizable to fit your own style.
- You can make minor changes on the fly, or major changes on the Desktop Companion so you don't have to type a lot on the PocketPC.
Physician to Physician Connectivity
- Email, Beam, or Handoff your patients electronically, to facilitate group coverage.
- For example, your partner performs a cesarean over the weekend for you when your patient comes in labor. She then sends you via email the updated record, and now you know the latest information when you check on the patient.
- ObGynPocketPro searches through your PocketPC email, to find special encrypted patient notes, so all you need to do is review the patient.
- An audit trail is maintained as a permanent part of the record, so you can quickly see where and when the record changed hands, in compliance with HIPAA.
Professional Wireless Document Printing
- Rich Text Format documents give you perfect legibility, are signed and dated for you, and can be printed virtually anywhere.
- With a WiFi network at your hospital or office, you can print to ANY NETWORKED printer. (In my practice, I can print to a printer in labor and delivery, medical records, my office biller's printer, the doctor's lounge across from the OR for brief surgery notes, and many other places).
- Most printers have an infrared receiver, so if you're not networked, don't have WiFi (wireless network), or just need to print to a printer right in front of you, infrared works great.
- Bluetooth is even better than infrared, but less common. However, HP and others sell many Bluetooth printers, and Bluetooth adapters are also available to connect to any printer you may already own.
- See Mobile printing to learn more about how to print, and what your options are.
- See Mobile Print Help on your pocket PC - its comes along with ObGynPocketPro courtesy of ObTech and HP.
Secure Emailing of Notes and Full Records
- Email any patient note to anyone in a secure manner - they will need to have the free Desktop companion downloadable from this site. Furthermore, you can email the entire patient record to any other user of ObGynPocketPro.
- EXAMPLE1: You do a delivery on Jane Smith who is normally seen by Dr Jones, so you want to keep your partner Dr. Jones updated. You email him the entire patient. The next time Dr. Jones runs ObGynPktPro, he goes to the Patient list, selects Patient->Receive Patient->Retrieve Emailed Patient. The software will search his emails for sent patients, and automatically load it in! Its that simple. Now, when Dr. Jones sees Jane for her post partum visit, he will instantly have access to her delivery information (instead of trying to figure out why he doesn't remember her delivery).
- EXAMPLE2: You performed a c-section on Jane, and you want to integrate the operative note into both your hospital's record system and your office record system. At your hospital, they use an EMR system - so you email to the data migrator. They receive the encrypted file, then can use the program to cut and past the note in any program they have - and they wont even need to transcribe anything, since the operative note is already done for you courtesy of ObGynPktPro's automatic dictations. At your office, you still have an old paper chart. So, you email the note to your office medical records, and they print it out to put in your paper chart. Or, you can print it out directly to your WiFi networked printer that's in the medical records room.
Full Prenatal Care Information
- We've expanded our new version to have all the information needed to meet the standard Antepartum Record. Print it out at any time, or just review it on your PocketPC.
- Check your yellow and red alerts to be sure you haven't missed routine prenatal care.
Full Gynecology as well as Obstetrics

Operative Note Customization
- You or your staff can type, retype, or modify any existing or new operative notes to integrate into ObGynPocketPro.
- Extensive typing on the small PocketPC keyboard isn't practical - so use this part of the Desktop Companion.
Teaching Image Customization
- Have an image you just love showing your patients? You can easily integrate it into ObGynPocketPro and display it using teaching images.
- Use the Desktop companion to automatically format any picture you have and automatically put it on your PDA.
Medical Reference Customization
- Do you wish ObGynPocketPro had some table or reference installed that you frequently need - well, now you can add your own.
- Create a web style page (.htm), and integrate it using the Desktop Companion. It will show up in your Core Reference list.
Patient Entry Companion (PC software)
- We all know its tedious to enter a bunch of information on a PDA, so instead, have your office staff do it on the Desktop Companion.
- Just have them enter the basic patient demographics, and some general medical information. Then, you just sync up your device to get the information.
- Your office staff can create a patient group - Wednesday's patients - and enter everyone on your patient schedule for the day - you simply sync up at the start of the day, and you have everyone entered!
Transcription Entry Companion (PC software)
- You've created a dictation - either a consult, or an operative note. Now, you need someone to transcribe it.
- You email the dictation file to the transcriber, and they use the Desktop Companion to transcribe.
- The Desktop Companion includes Express Scribe, a great program from NCH Sound that has full transcribing capabilities, including handling hardware peddles for your transcriber. You do not have to pay an additional fee to use the Express Scribe software.
Billing & Coding Companion (PC software)
- The Desktop Companion is perfect for your Billing and Coding staff.
- You simply wirelessly email (or print) all your bills and your coder uses the software to decrypt the bills/codes.
- You have the entire ICD9 and CPT® code database at your disposal ON THE PDA!
Data Migration Companion (PC software)
- Provides simple cut and paste document connectivity with any EMR/EHR.
- You simply wirelessly email any patient document to your data migration staff, and they use the software to decrypt the note and migrate it in to your EMR..
Automatic Circumcision Tracking, Documenting & Billing
- Handling the entire tracking, documenting, and billing process for circumcision is now fully automated.
- You deliver a boy, then you check the box to indicate the family's desire for circumcision. Later, you check your circ list, and the baby boy is in the list. When you are ready to do the circ, the circ note and bill is ready for you to create in seconds.
- A vast majority of billing losses for physicians relate to circ handling - that is no longer an issue with ObGynPocketPro's new seamless feature.
Patient Photo Integration for easy recognition
- Seeing a picture of your patient will instantly remind you of far more about your patient than simple words.
- Now you can format and import patient images from the Desktop companion into the patient record on your PDA.
Program Installation directly to memory card (save space)
- PocketPCs are so powerful, you want to have many programs, not just ours.
- The entire ICD9 and CPT® code database at your disposal on your PDA takes up a lot of space by itself (2.7M), so you can now install directly to your memory card.
- For optimal performance (since memory cards are slower than main memory), you should install to main memory, the use the File->Move command to move all the nonessential files to the memory card.
- Flexibility, Power, and Simplicity - you expect it, we deliver it!
