Medical Software Application Training
Web-Based. At Your Practice. Or Both - It's Your Choice.
Training Designed To Meet The Needs Of Your Practice
Let's just put this out there - training is not an area you should skimp on during the implementation of a new medical software system. Lowes, senior editor of Medical Economics goes as far to state, “A $30,000 electronic medical record system is like a $30,000 grand piano. Whether you play the equivalent of Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata or "Chopsticks" depends on your level of training.” (2004, Medical Economics). We tend to agree. That being said, let us tell you how we can accommodate almost any budget or any size practice.
Web-Based Training.
Train your entire staff over the web and save on training costs while still enjoying the same high quality training and support.
Hybrid Training.

OnSite Training In Your Practice.
Our highly certified and skilled training and implementation specialists visit your practice and train your staff one-on-one or in a group setting.Are MDS Trainers Certified?
MDS trainers are certified and tested by Greenway, MediNotes, Allscripts, and McKesson to ensure knowledge of products, industry standards, and ambulatory practice workflow processes. MDS trainers maintain current product knowledge, and have years of experience working and conducting training within healthcare settings. MDS trainers have experience training both large and small groups of users in a variety of settings and specialties; MDS can customize a training agenda to meet your specific requirements.
Do MDS Trainers Have Experience in Medical Office Workflow?
Trainers must not only be able to facilitate a successful assessment, planning and execution strategy of a training program, but also have a keen understanding of the practice’s workflow and how users will employ the system. A combination of product certification, healthcare industry experience, and vendor consistency throughout the EMR planning, implementation, and post-implementation phases ensures that an MDS training program maximizes efficiency, satisfaction and profitability from your EHR implementation.
How Does MDS Ensure Optimim InformationRetention?
A successful implementation is best realized within a modular and gradual implementation strategy - an "at your pace" strategy. In addition to the benefits of spreading out software and training expenses over a period of time (such as purchasing the billing system first and the EMR later), training in phases enables users to work with the system as long as necessary until your practice is ready to implement the next step. This gradual type of implementation strategy can dramatically increases the EHR implementation success and user satisfaction with the new system.
How Much Does Training Really Affect Productivity?
In a word – dramatically. Training ensures that clinical and administrative staff have both been trained on the same modules and processes, increasing efficiency and communication throughout the organization. Training creates a shared sense of purpose and knowledge of the new EHR processes and motivates all users to employ its functionalities to the fullest extent possible. Adequate medical software training is essential to realize the maximum benefit from your medical software investment. Training is one of the ways to ensure that your medical practice utilizes the software to its fullest capacity and reduces the potential for a failed EMR implementation.
