Dear Praxis Clients,

We are very pleased to provide you with the 2020 Practice Guidelines that must be active by October 1, 2020.

The list is based on your previous requests. Note that some of you have the PAs pertaining to previous years.  We recommend you review the current criteria and line items with those of this year as CMS changes them yearly and some guidelines have been deprecated by CMS for 2020.  Often changes in the PA require only a minor adjustment on your part.  Alternatively, you may delete yours and add the new ones, but keep in mind that:

1. They will delete the timers as though the patient was new.
2. You still need to review and adapt our work to your practice. 

We have added a Mini-Manual with step-by-step instructions and which reviews each PA in detail.  If your desired guideline is not there, don't worry.  We will be happy to assist, just please let us know ASAP.  There is no guideline that Praxis cannot attest.

Here they are:
*  Practice Advisories for MIPS 2020
<https://www.praxisemr.com/training_videos.html>

In other news we are continuing to improve Praxis and the future releases will be very exciting.  As you know, Praxis finally caught up with the onerous federal requirements for MACRA, and now we are focusing on improving the software for you.  We are soon releasing a new Patient Portal that will be improved dramatically. It including a patient scheduler, patient intake forms that flow right into the PSI of your SOAP Note, and patient medications refill request.  We are releasing a superb new Telemedicine Module that may activate automatically from the patient record, as well as an up to date current medications interface. 

Still more amazing developments are in the works.  We are slowly migrating Praxis to the latest technology that will make it significantly faster and easier to use.  This is a long awaited and major improvement that is still a few months away.  In essence, we are re-writing much of the code that Praxis is built on.  We will keep you posted on this exciting new development.

A new upgrade will be released in the next few days with the latest drugs and the ICD-10s, vaccines and CPTs for 2021.

As always, thank you for all your wonderful support and keep your ideas coming!

Warmest Regards,

Praxis v8.0 has been certified! - Apr 16th 2020
Posted by Jose Ortiz on 11 May 2020 04:17 PM
Dear Praxis Clients,

We are delighted to report that the office of the National Coordinator of  Health Information Technology (CMS) has just granted Praxis version 8 the  Certificate of Compliance you will need to attest for MIPS.

This is the result of seven long years of work, where we set a goal to carry out  the major re-engineering required by the federal government without  degrading Praxis usability.  This is something that happened to  most of our competitors in their rush to meet impossible deadlines. We are  proud to say that this goal was accomplished to a great degree, but we will  continue to improve on that. 

The Certificate number is:

15.02.02.2766.A113.01.01.1.200413

(Please see below for more information which will be placed on our website as well)

As you know, the government has postponed MIPS attestation until April 30th  of this year, and in addition you may request a further postponement under other  conditions.

Now that we have completed this objective, our entire team is working around the  clock to improve Praxis based on your recommendations. 

Our first  priority is the Telemedicine Module which is being released shortly. We  thank all of you who have provided us with ideas and critiques on this  module, in particular Doctor Clayton Reynolds, who has been using Praxis in  his full-time telemedicine practice for the last two years.

Thank you so much for your trust, patience and loyalty. We could not do this  without your wonderful support!
