Anesthesia Business Consultants Announces Partnership with ePREOP Preoperative Electronic Health Record

Anesthesia Business Consultants, LLC (ABC) maintains their persistent mission to bring the highest level of services to the anesthesia community with the announcement of an exciting partnership with ePREOP. ePREOP delivers a revolutionary new software that promises to improve outcomes and save healthcare dollars by making it easier to collaborate with the various stakeholders involved in every surgical procedure.

ePREOP's web based platform was designed specifically to bridge the gap between the physician office and surgery location. ePREOP integrates with various electronic health records like Google Health, Allscripts, and HealthVault. The software analyzes hundreds of thousands of data points and delivers preoperative clinical guidelines. These recommendations can significantly improve postoperative outcomes, decrease case delays and cancellations, and save money by reducing wasteful spending. ePREOP allows for a seamless transfer of patient data between parties and eliminates duplicate patient interviews. When an existing EHR is not in use, ePREOP provides a stand-alone Preoperative EHR that is accessible from a kiosk, iPad, or home computer. The data is sent directly to the surgical facility along with lab recommendations and results.

ePREOP's CEO and co-founder, David Bergman, DO, is a practicing anesthesiologist. "We have spent the last three years developing our system and we welcome the current push for better healthcare. Our mission is to enable patients and physicians to achieve the highest quality preoperative care and to improve surgical outcomes. As healthcare becomes increasingly complex, we provide a service that simplifies the communication between patients and the multiple physicians and hospital staff that they will encounter throughout any surgical experience. We are excited to have a partner like ABC that services over 8000 providers and has an incredible reputation in the anesthesia community. Partnering with ABC provides us with an opportunity to make a strong and positive impact on preoperative medicine," says Dr. Bergman.

"One important positive externality of the clinical and cost saving benefits, is the invaluable opportunity to secure our clients' standing with, and add value to, their institution," says Tony Mira, President and CEO of ABC. "We are relentlessly searching to discover these opportunities for our clients, and we are excited to announce our partnership with ePREOP." ABC, established in 1979, is one of the largest billing and practice management companies dedicated to the complex and intricate specialty of anesthesia and pain management. Its accomplished in-house technology staff has created and maintains the ABC proprietary billing software, F1RSTAnesthesia(TM).
