Top R.I. medical practice chooses LighthouseMD

PROVIDENCE – University Medicine Foundation Inc., Rhode Island’s largest non-hospital physician practice, with 140 doctors and 15 nurse practitioners, has adopted LighthouseMD’s CareTracker software at its 19 locations, which serve more than 60,000 patients.
CareTracker provides revenue cycle management and integrated practice management for medical practices. A companion program, CareTracker EMR, was released this month that adds electronic medical records to the system, but UMF has not adopted that software.
UMF began setting up CareTracker in January. LighthouseMD said key reasons for the group’s selection of CareTracker included the software’s ability to manage e-prescribing, automatically notify patients of appointments, and electronically interface with Lifespan laboratories to access lab results and X-rays.
The CareTracker system will also enable physicians to perform functions such as automated order processing, recording of patient visits into a digital file, capturing and storing clinical images, and streamlining the billing and collections process.
“We are proud to be working with such a prestigious organization,” said Stephen Tortolani, LighthouseMD’s president.

Providence-based LighthouseMD provides revenue-cycle management, practice management and clinical workflow solutions to physician practices in 15 states. Founded in 1993, the company now has more than 200 employees serving some 1,200 providers at more than 400 physician practices.
