Valued Medical Care, one of New Mexico\u2019s newest surgical practices, has chosen CareCloud as its electronic health record vendor, with modules to support revenue cycle management and patient experience management, which includes technology to enable patients to connect with the practice before, during and after an office visit. \u201cOur goal is to give our patients the best care possible and to make working with us a great experience for them with no paperwork, no waiting and a smooth process every step of the way,\u201d says Victor Cruz, MD, founder of the practice.<\/li><\/ul>http:\/\/membership.demingchamber.net<\/a>
- Delaware Health Information Network and Quest Diagnostics have been working together for some time, and the network now has extended Quest\u2019s participation as a data provider in Delaware, submitting lab results and clinical data to DHIN. With the new agreement, Quest results will be available to healthcare practitioners statewide through DHIN delivery channels and the Community Health Record\u2019s searchable patient catalog, with the goal to give doctors more actionable information to improve outcomes. Formed in 2007, the Delaware network now offers nearly 20 services.<\/li><\/ul>https:\/\/dhin.org\/<\/a>

Physicians now can offer advanced and non-invasive Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Computed Tomography CT imaging services. The technology enables the quantification of molecular processes in the body, may assist with earlier modification of patient treatment, and allows for lower radiation exposure.
