          Founded in 1975, Northern Data Systems (NDS) is a Maine Company headquartered in Falmouth, Maine. Since 1975, NDS has developed and supported software solutions for medical practices from a single provider to over 100. We have more sites installed in Maine than any other vendor because we have been a company that they could rely on.

          Service and support that only a Maine company can provide. Not only has NDS developed and supported medical practice software for over 30 years, like its Maine healthcare partners, NDS can provide better products and services to Maine Medical Practices than any out-of-state company can.

          It takes a lot to provide Comprehensive Computer Care...That is the NDS Difference

          • Experience: NDS has over thirty (30) years experience developing and supporting Healthcare Software. NDS is the original developer of MENDS™ (MEdical NDS) that was installed in thousands of sites throughout the U.S.
          • Track Record: All during those 30 plus years, NDS is the ONLY company that has reliably and dependably serviced healthcare practices in Maine. Most others have come and gone or have tried to service Maine from a distance.
          • Product: NDS offers a modern, fully-featured INSight™ Practice Management and Billing System, a wide range of direct Electronic Insurance Billing (EDI) products, Electronic Remittance Processing, and Electronic Medical Records.
          • Technology: NDS’s INSight™ is a true Windows™ GUI product and uses the latest Microsoft® technology. It uses the MySQL Relational Database, ODBC, integrated Internet access, integrated E-Mail, integrated Office™, and offers all major interfaces including HL7.
          • Commitment to Backward Compatibility: NDS’s customers do not go through a conversion. 100% of all the data comes forward including all your charge and payment history, your diagnosis and treatment history, your insurance history, your scheduled appointments, your insurance data, your provider data and more. You do not have to manually enter data. And, you do not have to pay to access data on two systems.
          • Project Management Experience: Based on over thirty (30) years experience, NDS has developed a thorough and detailed implementation process backed by a specialized computer system for tracking results. Using this process, we have installed systems with up to 250 users without a hiccup.
          • Customer Training: NDS has classrooms in Falmouth, Maine to insure that your staff can be trained professionally and without interrupt. There are no travel or overnight expenses for your staff. Being a Maine company, we can also easily come to you and there are no plane tickets or other costs.
          • On-site Customer Support: After the sale and when the dust settles, our customers still need on-site customer support – at night, on the weekends, and early in the mornings. Being minutes away, NDS can come when you need help on that Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM. Only a Maine company can say that.
          • Hotline Support: NDS has a staff of trained professionals a phone call away to answer your questions and even dial in and troubleshoot your problems. This hotline support is backed by a comprehensive, computerized call logging and tracking system to insure the best possible response.
          • Hardware Service: We do not tell you to call someone else and then have you referee when there is a hardware problem or a problem of an unknown cause. NDS has a local, experienced staff of hardware service representatives minutes away to help. NDS also has a large, local parts inventory when needed.
          • Networking Services: Because the line between hardware, networks, and application software is very blurred, NDS has a staff or experienced network engineers to install, monitor, and support your networks. When customer IT staff’s need help, they call NDS’s network engineers.
          • Forms: Often overlooked, NDS has its own, experienced forms department to deal with all your forms needs including laser forms, bar coding, including outside printing and stuffing.
          • Disaster Recover/Data Vaulting: NDS stores copies of data for many customers in case of a disaster. Working with our customers, we can have a backup system available should there be a need.
          • Commitment to Maine: Maine has its own unique needs due to its unique geography, its unique insurance processing, and population dispersion. NDS is an affiliate member of the Maine Medical Association and is an active member of the Maine Cancer Foundation. NDS contributes generously with products, services, and financial contributions to many Maine healthcare initiatives.
          • Commitment to YOU: You are strategic to NDS. You are not to a large, distant national company.

          There is a difference with NDS and we would like to show you.

          WATS: 1-866-733-9450

          NotifyMD provides call center communication services to physician practices, clinics and hospitals. The company serves 3,500 clients, representing 18,000 physicians in over 45 states and has been recognized by the MGMA as its exclusive call center-based communication platform for physician practices, nationwide, through the AdminiServe Partnership Program. Call center services are provided from 6 call center locations, the newest of which is a 130 seat center located in Farmington, Maine. Although NotifyMD solves many unique healthcare organization communication challenges, the Company actively promotes four service offerings that result in Complete Call Cycle Management.

          Answering Service: NotifyMD provides messaging and wireless notification for physicians ensuring that they are available and accessible to their patients 24x7, 365 days per year. NotifyMD uses a blend of industry leading technology partners and proprietary technology to ensure accurate and relevant text messaging with complete accountability and audit trails. All message activity may be securely retrieved over the Internet and stored electronically by the client. NotifyMD can convert your answering service from a cost center to a revenue producing center, while improving both physician and patient acceptance through professional interactions.

          Daytime Service: The Daytime Service product is an outsourced call center solution that uses a proprietary ASP task management application, WebMessenger, to divert calls from the practice to a NotifyMD call center for processing messages real time without waits and abandons. Whether implemented as a call over-flow solution or used to manage specific types of calls, messages are electronically routed as tasks to personnel within the physician practice to efficiently manage. The application may be integrated with the practice's EMR application to minimize redundancy or operate on a standalone basis. NotifyMD's Daytime Service requires no hardware or software, provides immediate live voice support for patients, distributes calls according to practice protocols and measures staff productivity. The practice will achieve improved patient satisfaction, decreased call volume and improved revenue by eliminating lost or mismanaged calls.

          Automated Reminders: Courtesy call delivers appointment reminders and lab test results using a professionally recorded voice to provide accurate and authentic delivery of information to the patient during the evening when patients are available. Results from all calls made are delivered to the practice securely over the Internet. The system saves the practice valuable resource time and improves arrival rates for any sized practice.

          Patient Care Compliance: NotifyMD develops practice-specific protocols for patient recalls, automating the outbound call process in the evening and directing callers to a call center environment to perform protocol-based care compliance. Depending on the sensitivities of the alerts established, patients that meet certain criteria are redirected to the office using WebMessenger as a communications tool for immediate follow-up resulting in appropriate and proactive patient visits. Patient care compliance programs allow physicians to provide patient-specific disease management, focusing on high-risk patients that require close monitoring.

          Our secure prescription forms can't be duplicated. Neither can our price. Counterfeit-resistant prescription forms provide prescribers with a solution to the growing problem of prescription forgery and prescription drug abuse. Rx Security has been providing tamper resistant prescription pads with technological safeguards at an affordable price for over 15 years, being the first to develop and utilize this technology. RX Security was consulted by Senator John Burton and others during legislation in California and is currently working as partner of the California Medical Association as well as an approved printer of Florida Medicaid. Since that time the use of secure pads has been legislated by California, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Maine and other states. We offer specialized formats for these states as well as others. RX Security is also a leading provider of secure prescription forms in Canada. Our standard secure prescription pads meet and in most cases exceed recommended safeguards for Schedule II and III drugs in the U.S. Throughout North America, secure prescription forms are increasingly recognized as a cost effective method of drug forgery reduction. Each of our prescription pads include the following safeguards:

          • Copy resistant background.
          • "Void" appears when photocopied.
          • Each order has an individual numeric identifier.
          • Tamper resistant ink and paper shows attempt to alter script.
          • Security features box on reverse details security features.
          • Thermochromic RX disappears when rubbed or heated.
          • Artificial watermark appears on back when held at a 45 degree angle

          Since 1989, secure prescription forms are our only product and exclusive focus. Our secure facility and specialized equipment are a reflection of our company's commitment to this production and to the reduction of prescription forgery in North America. We accept orders only from licensed medical professionals. It's Easy To Order... For convenient ordering, please visit us online at our secure, encrypted website RX Security, Inc.

          Secure Prescriptions

          A recognized authority in document security, Standard Register has spent years working with issuers and states to provide better protected prescriptions. Today, Standard Register has more than 30 security-related patents in place and additional document security-related patents pending. And, that innovation continues as the company works to stay ahead of the relentless prescription fraud criminals.

          The effectiveness of this secure prescription technology has been demonstrated across the country. Most notably, the state of New York reported it eliminated over $60 million in fraud within six months of deploying its secure prescription program which mandates use of ScripPlus® pads for all prescriptions statewide.

          That same security technology is available to you now in ScripPlus prescription pads as well as laser sheets and thermal rolls for secure Rx printing. ScripPlus exceeds all CMS requirements for tamper-resistance with its seven distinct security features. ScripPlus customers also enjoy:

          • Toll-free phone assistance to simplify ordering
          • Controlled shipping and handling to safeguard your personalized Rx pads
          • Competitive pricing to make regulatory compliance affordable
          • Our promise that your Rx pads meet whatever requirements regulatory agencies demand
          • Online resources to provide added support in combating fraud.

          E-Prescribing Solutions
          Standard Register has teamed with Star Micronics of America to provide hospitals and physicians with a secure Rx printing solution for e-prescribing.

          A Triple Deterrent Against Fraud
          E-prescribing provides the ultimate defense against fraud. A secured, automated prescribing system is less accessible to thieves than pen and paper. By combining the automated data entry of your e-prescribing application with Standard Register's Scrip Plus® secure prescription stock and Star's Rx locking printer you can establish a controlled prescription process that provides a triple deterrent against fraud.

          A Secure Stock – Proven Effectiveness
          Standard Register's proprietary Scrip Plus thermal paper rolls have multiple security features layered into the prescription stock to deter alteration and counterfeiting.

          • Reduces fraud loss – documented success
          • Meets all CMS and state requirements for tamper-resistance
          • Protects your reputation and potential for liability
          The Right Printer for Secure, Low Cost Rx Printing

          The Star Micronics Rx printer adds another level of security to prevent theft. The TSP800Rx printer is a direct thermal printer that incorporates a locking feature to secure the prescription paper roll in place.

          • Prevents prescription stock removal without authorization
          • Fast, yet durable
          • Compact design
          • Less expensive than laser printers for Rx printing

          Tilson Technology Management is an independent information technology project management company. We manage projects with technologies that our clients don't have experience with, or with projects that may already be distressed. Our value is completing projects that would otherwise detract from our client's ability to focus on their core competencies. We also offer "a la carte" services in:

          • Technology project scheduling
          • Independent software and hardware vendor selections
          • Technology staff evaluation/departmental review

          • We are independent. We don't have financial relationships with software and hardware manufacturers driving our decision making process.
          • We are not technology-driven. We work to find a business process solution first, and plug in the appropriate technology second.
