Key Features

Cloud Computing: According to the vendor, DOX Podiatry utilizes cloud computing technology, enabling users to access patient data and practice management tools from any internet-connected device. This is said to ensure data security, regular backups, and scalability for growing practices. Users can conveniently access the system remotely, making it ideal for providers with multiple locations or the need to access patient information outside of the office.

Security: The vendor prioritizes the security of patient data and complies with HIPAA regulations. The system employs encryption and secure access controls to protect sensitive information. Regular security audits and updates are performed to maintain data security.

DOX Medical DATA: DOX Podiatry collects medical data in a structured and standardized format, ensuring high-quality and statistically significant information. The system captures detailed information during the charting process, including all variables, making the data valuable for medical research and outcome studies. The collected data is completely de-identified, protecting patient privacy while providing insights for medical researchers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, and insurance companies.

DOX PA (Physician Assistant): DOX Podiatry includes DOX PA, a central hub for managing all aspects of patient care. DOX PA provides a pre-built, specialty-specific database with diagnoses, treatments, chart notes, operative reports, referrals, prescriptions, orders, and billing codes. It automates lab orders, radiology orders, prescriptions, and referral letters, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

Billing: DOX Podiatry offers multiple billing options to accommodate every practice. The system includes a billing bridge that transfers billing codes generated by providers into commonly used billing applications. DOX also has partnerships with third-party billers, streamlining the transmission of billing codes and improving efficiency.

Certification/Meaningful Use/Attestation: DOX Podiatry is 2015 Edition compliant and ONC-ACB certified with SLI Compliance. The system automates many Meaningful Use measures, simplifying qualification for meaningful use and attestation. DOX automatically counts and tabulates numerator and denominator for meaningful use measures and produces required reports.

Partners and Ownership Opportunities: DOX Podiatry actively seeks partnerships in all medical specialties, including surgical centers and hospitals. The system offers customization of chart note content and workflow to meet the specific needs of each specialty. DOX also provides ownership opportunities, allowing practices to turn their customized EMR system into an income-generating asset.

ICD-10 Code Submission: DOX Podiatry provides guidance and support for transitioning to ICD-10 codes. The system offers tips and resources for proper submission of ICD-10 codes. The vendor advises against using trauma codes (fractures, dislocations, sprains, etc.) during early testing.

Auto Selection of Left or Right Side Code: In the final implementation stage, DOX Podiatry will automatically select the correct left or right side code based on the chosen anatomy for the case. On the diagnosis page, only two codes will be displayed: the previous ICD-9 code and the ICD-10 code for the selected anatomical side. This feature aims to simplify the learning process of correct ICD-10 codes for physicians and staff.
