McKesson, the world’s largest healthcare services, automation and information technology company, is soon to announce the general release of Medisoft Clinical v16.

Medisoft Clinical v16 is a combined Medical Billing, Scheduling, and Electronic Health Record (EHR) software suite. In preparation for its coming nationwide release McKesson sought feedback from their leading local Value Added Reseller (VAR) AZCOMP Technologies, Inc.
and a few of their premier customers, Scottsdale Medical Center the office of Dr. Joseph A. Rotella, MD, DC and Yuma Foot and Ankle Surgeons the office of Dr. Alan Kravitz, PDM, PC.

Installation of Medisoft Clinical v16 kicked off on Wednesday December 16, 2009. The installation was a combined effort between McKesson and AZCOMP Technologies, Inc. As a local face for McKesson, AZCOMP has worked side by side with Scottsdale Medical Center since Dr. Rotella opened his office in October 2008. AZCOMP speialized in providing not only local installation, training and software support, but also in providing hardware and networking sales, service and support. When asked why Dr. Rotella chose AZCOMP he commented, “When choosing an EHR, finding a local company that stands behind their product was most important to me. AZCOMP proved successful. They were there every step of the way.”

AZCOMP continued their ongoing support by sending a trainer, support manager, and network technician onsite to work with McKesson’s team on the beta installation. McKesson sent a team of three key employees including the Product Manager over Medisoft, from their Alpharetta, Georgia office to personally go onsite to Scottsdale Medical Center to monitor and test the installation, as well as gather critical feedback from Dr. Rotella. Although Medisoft Clinical v16 ahs already passed rigorous tests in its alpha stage, beta gives McKesson a chance to prove the software in a live environment. Any issues are reported directly to the development team at McKesson, who them make necessary modification ensuring the software is ready for its nationwide release. Not only do beta sites have the opportunity of giving feedback and improving the product, they also get to take advantage of new features before they are released to the general public. One of the features Dr. Rotella is looking forward to most is the hundreds of new EHR templates that will be available to him in Medisoft Clinical v16.

After a day at Scottsdale Medical Center, the team headed down to Yuma to complete a second successful installation at Dr. Kravitz’s office. Yuma Foot and Ankle, a long time user of Medisoft, implemented EHR in their office in January of 2009. Finding an EHR solution that integrated with their billing was critial for their office, which made Medisoft Clinical the clearchoice. They are also looking forward to taking advantage of both the new integration features and Revenue Management that Medisoft Clinical v16 has to offer.

Loree Olson from AZCOMP Technologies, Inc. commented, “We have been supportingMedisoft for over 10 years and it has been impressive to see how McKesson has improved the development and release of new products. They are refocused on issuing a solid release every time. The fact that they would send their product manager and his team to work with, and hear directly from our client’s showsthey are more than simply selling software. And I can’t think of two better sites to represent Medisoft users. Dr. Rotella has experience using another EHR program and is forward thinking in his approach to running a medical practice. Dr. Kravitz has been able to pick up and run with the EHR, and his wife Jackie is an invaluable resource for us to draw on for making billing improvements. We’re excited to work with our clints and McKesson these next few months as we prepare for the nationwide release of Medisoft Clinical v16.”

Dr. Rotella has been wonderful. He helped me solve a medical issue that  I had been dealing with for a full year. Before seeing Dr. Rotella I had seen several doctors who didn’t help at all. He was the only one who really listened and approached my problem from several angles. I can’t thank him enough for helping me. I have recommended him to several friends. The office staff is also great they are always friendly and pleasant.

Thank you very much Dr. Rotella

Natural Preventative Approach to Migraines

The FDA currently recognizes only four preventative treatments for migraine.  They are as follows:  Topiramate, Depakote, Propanolol, and Nadolol. 

However, there are natural key ingredients that are clinically shown to reduce your migraines.  Those are riboflavin, also know as Vitamin B2, Magnesium, Feverfew, and Conezyme q10.  However, most of these alternative are found at the health food stores but the dosages are usually to small for you to have an effect.  Clinical studies demonstrate higher dosages to become effective.  Also, purchasing all these ingredients can be cost prohibitive and cumbersome to take all at once.  Trigemin is a multivitamin that contains all these ingredients at the appropriate clinical dosages and it is the one that I use in my clinic.  Learn more through the website, www.trigemin.com

TRIGEMIN contains a comprehensive multivitamin that is the first to include combined key ingredients riboflavin, magnesium, feverfew, coezyme q10 in that each of these ingredients were used in clinical studies that were shown to reduce the frequency, intensity and symptoms of migraine headaches.  In addition the amino acid taurine was added for additional support.  Headache sufferers may benefit from these specific ingredients and that they may find that it is easier to take one dietary supplement rather than each individual ingredient seperately, savings in costs and quantity of pills.

Butterbur is another ingredient that has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches.  The pure form was shown to cause liver damage, and therefore they took out the bad metabolites and use a pure form called Petadolex

The key is to incorporate a natural preventative treatment program in addition to or used alone in migraine prevention.   This coupled with headache hygiene, avoiding triggers, and understanding migraine provoking foods, you may gain control over your headache and win the migraine pain game.

Now Offering a Specific Yoga Program, for Relief of Chronic Upper/ Lower Back Pain.

A yoga program specifically aimed at patients with chronic low back pain is more effective than either exercise treatment or self-care in decreasing functional disability for patients with chronic low back pain. The style of yoga is called viniyoga and was adapted for use in patients with low back pain.

Received from The Journal Of Family Practice Magazine 2006.

I have suffered with lower back pain  for years and after seeing Dr Rotella for 6 months I am free of back pain.

Dear Dr. Rotella,

I walked into your office at my wits end with excruciating back pain. This pain that I’ve lived with for many months was taking over my life and not in a good way. You went the extra mile to find out what my problem was and now my pain went from 100% to 25% and I’m confident it will all be a memory soon.

Thank You : S.A

Dr. Rotella is the most knowledgeable Dr I have met in many years. His attitude and table side /bedside manner are superb.

I feel very comfortable with the Dr. And am hoping to meet my  goals of curing my illness.
