Dr. Andre Vovan, Chairman
Small physician practices have resisted adoption of conventional EHR systems because of high cost and technical complexities for the past 20 years. They desire a solution that connects them to their referral network of physicians to grow their business, improve information exchange and take care of their patients in a more efficient and safe manner. They desire a solution that makes the gathering of background clinical information from their patient easier and eliminate duplication. Lastly, physicians desire a solution that is affordable because of ongoing financial pressure and reduction in payment.
Mitochon Systems is the first complete ONC-ATCB certified FREE EHR that addresses all of the above points.
Mitochon uses healthcare related messaging/advertising in a HIPAA, FDA compliant methodology to make Mitochon FREE.
Mitochon offers a complete ONC-ATCB certified EHR FREE so physicians can qualify for Federal ARRA stimulus funding and keep it.
