BioMetrics Devices
Gone are the days of memorizing passwords and trying to manually keep up with
employees, patients and security! There is a growing trend of security problems which is costing
Physicians and Hospitals billions of dollars annually and utilizing valuable time and resources.
Ranging from internet security, to stand alone devices, electronic medical records, electronic
insurance records, personnel records, email, we have the devices and services to cover your
security needs.
Employee time clocks are most famous devices, based upon biometric technology -
especially in the medical field. Patient check in is also becoming more recognized by Physicians and
Hospitals. These biometric security solutions, apart from maintaining the employee attendance,
also contribute towards your facility and patient’s security, by disallowing unauthorized access.
Fingerprint scanners are the devices, which employ biometric technology to store and
match fingerprints of different individuals entering a medical establishment. We also offer a wide
range of biometric security access tools that extends from mice and keyboards with integrated
fingerprint scanners, to webcam solutions identifying facial features, to scanners that make use of
the distinct iris patters of humans for identifying individuals. All affordably priced to our clients.
Cloud Computing (MyMedCloud)
Succor Consulting Group’s “MyMedCloud” Cloud computing is the delivery of computing-as-
a-service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, applications, and information are
provided to workstations and other devices as a utility over the Internet.
End users access cloud-based shared applications through a web browser, desktop or
mobile device while the actual software and data are stored on servers at several remote locations;
giving redundancy to your operations. SCG is successful in providing better service and
performance with our cloud computing solutions, as if the software programs were installed locally
on end-user computers.
Manage your practice or hospital from anywhere, with no hardware hassles. More and more
services are moving to the cloud and it only makes sense for medical establishments to take
advantage of the benefits that SCG’s “MyMedCloud” computing services has to offer. Get everything
you need instantly without high upfront costs or long installation times. Plus, you get the flexibility
of on-the-fly scaling to your specific needs without having to add hardware.
Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
We process the electronic entry of physician instructions for the treatment of patients
under his/her care. These orders are communicated over a computer network or cloud service to
the medical staff and departments, such as the pharmacy, labs or radiology -responsible for
fulfilling the order.
Succor’s affordable CPOE decreases delay in order completion, reduces errors related to
handwriting or transcription, allows order entry at point-of-care or off-site, provides error-
checking for duplicate or incorrect doses or tests, and simplifies inventory and posting of charges.

Data Archiving (MyMedBackup)
Data archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to a separate
data storage device for long-term retention. Data archives consist of older data that is still
important and necessary for future reference, as well as data that must be retained for HIPAA and
regulatory compliance.
HIPAA covered entities are required to retain a wide range of documentation regarding
their compliance with the regulation. In general, documentation must be retained for six years from
the date of its creation, or the date of last effect, whichever is later (though some states mandate
longer retention periods). Hefty fines are enforced for non-compliance. Let Succor Consulting
Group’s “MyMedBackup” Data Archiving ensure you practice or hospital is compliant.
Data Migration
Our data migration service is a key process of moving data between storage devices when
adopting any new system. SCG’s Data Migration Services are designed to assist your practice in
upgrading your EHR system or migrating data from one existing EHR system to another. We
provide you with the resources and expertise to simplify and secure your data migration project.

Our experts reinforce your medical establishment to address concerns as, reduction in

business risk and impacts.
With the downed economy putting pressure on technology refreshes, data migration
services and tools are becoming more important to clinics and hospitals. Your data is continuously
growing, and there’s simply no tolerance for unnecessary downtime -- and the need for
sophisticated data migration services becomes clear. SCG has all the bases covered.

contributes dramatically toward adoption and Meaningful Use. We provide the World’s first and
only overnight transcription and dictation service that directly populates dictations, as per MU

Healthcare providers simply connect to the secure toll free number and send their clinical
dictations, which are transcribed into provider pre-approved customized EHR S.O.A.P. templates.
The next morning, the provider simply approves the clinical note. There’s no data entry work or
cumbersome inputting of historical data.
Document Management
SCG’s Document Management Solution tracks and store electronic documents and/or
images of paper documents. Our document management solution is also capable of keeping track of
the different versions created by different users (history tracking).
We make it possible to quickly sort, search and summarize documents and images. A
paperless EHR solution requires a robust image and document management system. Our tools
allow you and your staff to easily embed, annotate and manage documents and images. Our
powerful image and document management solution helps you quickly access reports, results,
images and patient education material from anywhere within the integrated database.
Drug Formulary & Interaction Checks
SCG’s enhanced platform, increases patient safety and physician efficiency with the
implementation of advanced drug interaction alerts. This innovative addition to our EHR

of the requirements to meet Meaningful Use criteria, ensuring you are able to procure your HITECH
Incentives.

Studies demonstrate how drug interactions lead to higher patient morbidity. Recognition
and detection of drug interaction by physicians is a daunting task. We understand that you are
generally overwhelmed by the ever increasing number of patients and the huge amount of
information linked to drug interactions. Poor recognition also has enormous impacts on patient
care and may lead to increased malpractice claims.
Our system cross checks medications against other drugs, allergies, side effects,
contraindications and drug disease interaction stored in a huge knowledge base. Warnings are
displayed to the user in case of potential allergic reaction or harmful drug interaction.
This valuable decision support tool allows you to rest assured that your risk for medication
errors will be dramatically reduced and your patient care will greatly improve, thus, leading to
greater efficiency while making your life easier.
Electronic Health Records
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history
and personal health information (PHI) that is maintained by the provider over time, and includes all
of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care, including demographics,
progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory
data and radiology reports, etc. SCG’s EHR automates access to information and streamlines the
clinician's workflow and has the ability to support other care-related activities directly and
indirectly through various interfaces, including evidence-based decision support, quality
management, outcomes reporting and so much more!
EHRs are the next step in the continued progress of healthcare that can strengthen the
relationship between patients and clinicians. The data and the timeliness and availability of it will
enable providers to make better decisions and provide better care. Succor Consulting Group’s EHR
supports continuity of care management through the most leading edge, innovative tools that adapt
to your unique workflow and clinical approach.
We provide specialty specific templates and point and click technology that accurately
documents patient encounters and transactions, with the option to do so, via the cloud. Our system
is not module-by-module like most of our competition; rather it is linear based with ease-of-use in
mind. We provide you a tool that simplifies decision making, streamlines operations and ensures
compliance to industry standards and meaningful use, ultimately saving time and effort, while
maximizing your value and incentives returns.
Our EHR is ONC-ATCB CCHIT Certified and has a Meaningful Use gauge integrated - to make
sure you are reaching your core quality measures. This will give you the peace of mind that you will
be able to procure your HITECH incentives.
Eligibility Verification
Succor offers a fully integrated system that allows you to view current patient insurance
eligibility. The Automatic Eligibility Verification system automatically checks scheduled patients’
eligibility before their appointment, without requiring any extra time from the staff. When patients
arrive, the information is presented in seconds as staff members access the patient record. For
walk-in patients, an immediate response directly from the payer is also available. Moreover, staff
can retrieve the exact same eligibility information again when responding to queries from patients

unnecessary phone calls and the time required to contact payers. More importantly, you can reduce

non-existent. The HITECH Act has changed that and enforces more scrutiny and audits. It also
increased liability for non-compliance and significantly enhanced the enforcement of the existing
HIPAA Security Standards, exposing your areas of compliance that may have ‘dropped through the

transfer and discharge with the right kind of documentation.

recorded electronically to support accurate med reconciliation.
-Multiple Access Points provide a drug vocabulary that allows users to record the patient’s known
medications, codified at the appropriate level of detail as broadly or narrowly as called for. Users

Online & Onsite Training
We understand that implementing an EHR, Practice Management Solution or any other
Software can be a daunting task for any medical establishment. Differing “comfort levels” with
regard to technology often exist among practice personnel. Recognizing these differences and
providing you with options for training and implementation is why we give you two options: On-
Site, Full Service Training and online Full Service Training.
Patient Portals
Patient Portals are online applications that allow patients to interact and communicate with
you and your staff. Our patient portal services are available anywhere you have internet service at
all hours of the day and night. Depending on your needs, our patient portals exist as stand-alone
websites, while other portals are integrated into the existing website. SCG, Inc. also offers others,
which are modules integrated into our EHR or your existing EHR system.
What all of these services share is the ability of patients to interact with their medical
information, via the Internet. SCG, Inc. offers fully integrated, interactive support platforms for
healthcare facilities, patients and families, and medical personnel. Some of the features:
Check appointment schedules
Requests an appointment
Check lab results
Examine statements
Request a prescription refill
Complete new patient intake forms & much more!
Providers can send messages such as appointment reminders, electronic statements and lab results
to patients, via the patient portal. Providers can better communicate with their own patients. The
attending doctor can easily communicate with patients’ other attending physicians without the
potential delay of traditional mail or phone messages. You can rest assured our data is always
exchanged in a HIPAA compliant and secure fashion.

Risk Assessment & Management
Today’s Healthcare world is constantly changing — it’s unpredictable, volatile and seems to
become more complex every day, with all of the industry standards and regulations, and the
constant linger of HIPAA/HITECH compliance. By its very nature, it is fraught with risk.
SCG’s Risk assessment provides a mechanism for identifying which risks represent
opportunities and which represent potential pitfalls. Done right, a risk assessment gives our
medical clients a clear view of variables to which they may be exposed, whether internal or
external, retrospective or forward-looking.
Our highly trained staff understands for risk assessments to yield meaningful results,
certain key principles must be considered. Our risk assessments begin and end with specific
objectives that are anchored in key value drivers. These objectives provide the basis for measuring
the impact and probability of your risk ratings.
Healthcare Organizations that vigorously interpret our results of their risk assessment
process set a foundation for establishing an effective enterprise risk management (ERM) program
and are better positioned to capitalize on opportunities as they arise.
Contact us for more information on how we assist our clients with Risk Assessment and
help them manage this very important aspect of their practice or hospital.
