In the current economic environment, most administrators and executives that are considering an information technology purchase have 4 key criteria on their mind:
Will the technology support the new "meaningful use" criteria?
Currently over 14,000 providers and their staff, all of whom have a vested interest in achieving meaningful use, are using Cattails Software's CattailsMD. Cattails DecsionArchitect is already reporting the required meaningful use measures and is flexible enough to support additional reporting measures as they evolve. While the concept of meaningful use is being defined and considered by others, actual meaningful use has already been achieved with the use of Cattails Software at Marshfield Clinic.
Will our physicians and other medical staff use it?
Having been developed in conjunction with physicians, Cattails Software applications achieve high levels of physician adoption:
"Over time, our product has been scrutinized and developed by physicians who work intimately with our programmers to make it physician-friendly. If it doesn’t work for end users, it is not implemented."
Karl Ulrich, M.D., M.M.M., president and chief executive officer, Marshfield Clinic.

Can the products be implemented effectively and in a timely manner?
Cattails Software's software as a service (SaaS) model readily supports rapid deployment. Also, our history of systemic success in supporting multisite, multispecialty healthcare facilities proves even the most challenging implementations are achievable.
Is the solution cost-effective?
CattailsMD, Cattails Software's practice management and EHR solution, delivers cost savings through productivity increases, reducing unnecessary duplication of tests and by ensuring that all billable charges are captured and coded in real-time. By automating these activities, the CattailsMD solution effectively reduces the workload of both providers and support staff, and also reduces the ratio of denials. The result is a system purchase that pays for itself by yielding a more efficient healthcare delivery system.
