NEMSIS GOLD CERTIFICATION
Ortivus is thrilled to announce that Sweet-Billing and
Sweet-Field Data have been certified as NEMSIS Gold Compliant.
Only a handful of EMS software providers have achieved this rating,
and Ortivus is proud to be in that elite group. In addition, Ortivus
is the ONLY EMS software vendor to offer both an integrated field
data collection and billing system that has achieved NEMSIS Gold
Compliance.
Gold compliance is the highest level of compliance that is certified
by the NEMSIS Technical Assistance Center. To achieve Gold
Compliance, a vendor must demonstrate that all of the NEMSIS dataset
elements have been implemented in the compliant application. But
what does this mean for EMS providers? It means that when a state
decides to adopt the NEMSIS standard for collecting data, EMS
providers are assured of having the software capability needed to
collect all the data by choosing a NEMSIS Gold Compliant EMS
software system. The Sweet software applications – Sweet-Billing
and Sweet-Field Data - is such a system: NEMSIS Gold
Compliant.
Ortivus recognizes the need in the EMS industry for a uniform set of
data that can be collected and analyzed on a national basis to
benefit the EMS industry as a whole. Ortivus also recognizes that
not every EMS organization has the need to implement an electronic
patient care reporting software and that many of these same agencies
are entering data into their billing systems and then are entering
some of the same information into state provided web pages. This
duplication of effort only serves to decrease the efficiency of an
agency.
To promote the collection of NEMSIS compatible data and provide
agencies the most flexibility for gathering and submitting the
NEMSIS data, Ortivus has made a significant investment to integrate
the complete NEMSIS data set into both Sweet-Billing and
Sweet-Field Data. All customers will have access to the complete
NEMSIS data set when version 5.3 of these products is released.

For more detailed information on NEMSIS, Ortivus will be holding a
webinar in early 2007. Check out the date!
