DES MOINES, IA, JUNE 2, 2010 -- Future Health, Inc., the nation’s number one provider of chiropractic EHR/practice management software -- today unveiled its newest product for doctors of chiropractic, Future HealthTM eConnect, adding that the base software is being made available free to DCs.

According to Future Health Founder and Chairman Steven J. Kraus, DC, DIBCN, CCSP, FASA, FICC, Future Health eConnect’s base software will include all the basics for EHR/practice management, including integrated documentation, EHR (electronic health records), billing, scheduler and patient education. 
 
Doctors of chiropractic can then choose to customize their free Future Health eConnect software by adding affordable eConnect Apps. Future Health will continually develop Apps for efficiency, specialties, techniques and EHR/ARRA certification.
 
“What we’ve learned is that, when it comes to EHR/practice management software, one size does not fit all,” said Kraus. “And while doctors do want a lot of features in their software, they don’t want to sacrifice usability in order to accommodate features they may not need or even use. And new technology allows us to respond to that … building upon the success of Future Health Virtual Office SuiteTM as the leader in chiropractic software … and creating Future Health eConnect.”

What is Future Health eConnect?
“Future Health eConnect’s base software is easy, intuitive and includes all the basics for EHR/practice management,” said Future Health President Kenneth Dickerson. “Then, for doctors who want or need more functionality, we’ve created affordable eConnect Apps.”
 
Dickerson added that the Apps make it possible for doctors to truly customize their software to their practice, choosing only the functionality and features they want … and none that they don’t … keeping the software streamlined and uncluttered by extras. “This way doctors can have as much … or as little … functionality as they want. And they have the power to add what they want, when they want it.”
 
Built with the latest technology
“When we created Future Health eConnect, we completely started over,” said Dickerson.
 
“We became an official Microsoft partner and built eConnect on the latest Windows platform with the latest Microsoft tools, making the software extremely dynamic, expandable, adaptable and familiar for users. So we can quickly and easily change the software to accommodate changes … in the law … for security and billing issues … in the chiropractic profession … and even in technology itself.”
 
Additionally, Future Health eConnect software uses cloud technology for data storage.
 
Doctors benefit from cloud technology in three ways: it eliminates the need to purchase and maintain a server; it allows for fast data access; and it’s easily accessible no matter where the user is, for instance at home or in the office.
