Schmik Connector
The Schmik Connector is a web services page that pushes cases between Bill and the Access Anaesthetics database in your rooms or at your billing service. It can be set-up to work without any intervention by practice or billing service staff.
The Schmik Connector enables Medical Specialists to interface Bill with Access Anaesthetics Practice Management Software.
Access Anaesthetics has Medicare and Eclipse interfaces that provide significant improvements to practice productivity and further significant improvements in practice cashflow.
The interface reduces patient and procedure data entry particularly for the Specialist. Cases are entered into Access Anaesthetics by the secretaries and the Anaesthetists only need to log into Bill via their iPhone, SmartPhone, Laptop or MAC, enter the start and finish times and any changes to the planned procedures. The case is then pushed back into the Access Anaesthetics software for processing by their secretaries.
No need to keep the stickers and return your procedure notes to your secretaries!!
In addition to the Specialist productivity benefits, the interface further significantly reduces elapsed time for payment. The Specialist will always have the latest patient details in Bill as well as a record of all or their cases.
