Templates
Microsoft Word templates can easily be imported into TRAKnet DPM and used for charting within the program with a few minor modifications. TRAKnet DPM also includes hundreds of podiatry-specific templates ranging from complete office visits, like fungal nail care, to individual exams, like dorsalis pedis pulses. This method is best used for common, routine visits like fungal nail care and post-op visits where the same questions are asked over and over. TRAKnet DPM’s fill-in-the-blank method is much like using a word processor and web browser together. While creating the note, you may type anywhere at any time. In addition, questions (fill-in-the-blanks) may appear throughout your note waiting to be answered. These questions appear as hyperlinks much like they would in Internet Explorer. However, when you click one of these hyperlinks, instead of going to a web page, the question appears to the right as a list of possible answers. You may answer the questions using a pen, keyboard, mouse, or your voice (i.e. ONE, OK). Quickly answer all questions in a single template!

Online Template Library
TRAKnet DPM includes access to its online template library with access to templates that are created by other TRAKnet DPM customers. Users are welcome to download these templates, free of charge, and modify them for database use.

Electronic Superbill
Many doctors prefer to circle codes on a paper charge slip (superbill) between patients and then finish their notes later using these superbills as a reference. TRAKnet DPM allows doctors to recreate superbills electronically. Once finished, send the chosen codes to the billing program for processing.  A skeleton note is then generated using templates associated with each code. This method reduces steps over the paper alternative; it allows doctors to quickly move from room to room without being forced to finish each note one at a time.

Previous Encounter
TRAKnet DPM allows you to create a new note from an old note. This simple method carries forward the treatment and diagnoses codes, diagnoses pointers and modifiers and enables you to then make changes and save the note as a new record.

Embedded Transcription
Unlike standard dictation/transcription, the Embedded Transcription feature allows users to dictate only the parts of a note that are difficult to complete using a computer. For example, a doctor might use a pen tablet to check off the exam findings, diagnoses, and treatments and then dictate the remaining narrative text for the subjective section of the note. As a result, you pay to transcribe a paragraph rather than an entire note. Throughout the entire process, we track who did what and when. As a result, you can click on any dictation to see who created it, when it was sent, when it was transcribed, and when you received it. Unlike automated voice recognition software, a recorded voice file is sent to a real human being for transcription.

Assembler
The Assembler presents a patient's medical history in an easy-to-read hierarchical tree. Objective, Assessment, and Plan findings are added to each complaint branch like leaves. Creating notes becomes a simple process; just snapshot the current tree view as a SOAP note or History and Physical. Also, by using a tree view to generate a note rather than a template or previous note, your medical records will no longer appear "canned". This allows focus to move to managing the patient rather than their records. In addition, various items within the patient history may be red flagged as unresolved so that next visit you can quickly pick up where you left off with respect to pending items.

Prescriptions
Prescriptions can be created within TRAKnet DPM as a standalone task or as part of a note. Once created, a prescription may be printed or sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice.

Referral Letters
Referral letters can be created within TRAKnet DPM as a standalone task or as part of a note. Once created, a referral letter may be printed, faxed or e-mailed. If printed, an envelope is printed as well as the associated note. If faxed, the associated note is included. And, if e-mailed, the note is sent as an attachment.

Built-In Spell Checker
TRAKnet DPM features a built-in spell checker, including an auto-correction option for an electronic health record.

Batch Print Encounters
TRAKnet DPM provides a batch printing option to simplify printing encounters (notes) at the end of the day to stuff into paper charts

Appointments
Patient appointments can be scheduled by provider and are displayed in a convenient day view or week view. Users can create custom appointment types for different types of visits and even set a default appointment length. TRAKnet DPM Scheduler also allows users to block off times that are not open. Rescheduling takes just one click.

Patient Tracking
The Scheduler in TRAKnet DPM tracks where a patient is in the office at all times. Notes show when the patient is checked in, assigned to a room, checked out, charted, missed their appointment or cancelled their appointment. You can view this information in list view for all patients for a specific day or by running specific reports.

Seamless Integration
From the Scheduler in TRAKnet DPM one click opens a patient’s chart and patient alerts and comments. TRAKnet DPM’s Scheduler will also alert the user if if an appointment is created for a patient who has exceeded their referral authorizations.

Recall Lists
TRAKnet DPM’s Recall Lists allow easy and automatic generation of lists of patients for specific facilities who need to be seen.

Electronic Prescriptions
Prescriptions can be created within TRAKnet DPM as a standalone task or as part of a note. Once created, a prescription may be printed or sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice.

Electronic prescribing offers the ability to create new electronic prescriptions, respond electronically to refill requests and instantly verify prescription benefits.

TRAKnet DPM’s electronic prescription writing feature also enables easy look-up of patient medication history, drug formulary and therapeutic alternative lists as well as alerts the user to drug-to-drug and drug-allergy interactions.

Patient Insurance
TRAKnet DPM helps to document and manage patient insurance information. This data can be accessed at anytime and exported to a billing service with your superbill information.

Superbill Generation
TRAKnet DPM allows users to generate a bill for an encounter that includes treatment and diagnoses codes, diagnoses pointers and modifiers.

Exporting Billing Information
TRAKnet DPM has a built in report that allows users to generate a consolidated superbill report which can be emailed, faxed, or mailed via postal service to your billing service. You can also export your superbill information to a standard XML document, which can be imported into other programs or billing services.

Claim Entry
Billing and charting are seamlessly linked in TRAKnet DPM, eliminating extra data entry. The biller doesn’t have to re-enter any information. They simply open the encounter, review the already present information and add any necessary modifiers and diagnoses pointers.

Interactive CMS 1500 Form
Embedded in TRAKnet DPM software is the ability to view a claim information on top of an existing CMS-1500 form. Billers can click on most any field on the Interactive CMS-1500 Form and make real-time changes to the database.

Claim Wizard
The Claim Wizard in TRAKnet DPM is used to split off charges that need to be sent to different destinations. This means that the charges on a single claim can be split and sent to two separate primary insurance providers.

Claim Checker
TRAKnet DPM’s claim checker looks for missing information that might cause a claim to get rejected. This information may include missing patient information, provider information, facility information and even missing diagnoses pointers.

Claim Submission
Through our partnership with Gateway EDI, we are able to send both primary and secondary claims electronically. You can even send your paper claims to Gateway electronically and they will print them to paper and mail them to the insurance company for you. Please contact us or visit www.gatewayedi.com for more information.

Electronic Payment Posting
Receive an entire EOB with one single click of the mouse! We receive an ANSI-835 file from Gateway EDI and this electronic copy of your EOB is electronically posted into TRAKnet DPM. This, in conjunction with minimized data errors, is one of the best billing features TRAKnet DPM has to offer!

Patient Statements
With TRAKnet DPM you can efficiently print off a batch of statements in your office or you can export the batch to Gateway EDI for printing and mailing. You can generate custom statement messages and choose between our simple and detailed views and TRAKnet DPM retains a copy of the patient’s statement as a PDF file

Integrated Credit Card Processing
Save money, time and space by processing credit and debit cards directly in TRAKnet DPM.

Ordering
Because TRAKnet DPM preloads products from the major podiatric suppliers, there is no need to manually enter thousands of products into your database. Simply scan a barcode or lookup the item by part number or description. TRAKnet DPM allows users to add all products that are low in inventory to a vendor order in a single step and send via mail, fax or email.

Receiving
Receiving items from a vendor is as easy as scanning the barcode. If all items have arrived, useTRAKnet DPM’s convenient "Check All" option, which will quickly check-in the entire order at once. If the items you are receiving do not have barcode labels, you can automatically generate labels for each product.To print your own labels, you will need to purchase one of our recommended label printers. To scan barcodes, you will also need to purchase a USB or keyboard wedge barcode scanner. For more information on these products, please contact us.

Dispensing
Within TRAKnet DPM, it’s fast and easy to dispense a product by scanning the product's barcode into your note. Doing so will document that the item has been dispensed and will remove the item from inventory. In addition, if the product's remaining quantity drops below your preset minimum level, the product will automatically be flagged for reordering.

Reports
TRAKnet DPM includes a number of pre-built reports to help manage your practice. These reports cover everything from missed appointments to our time clock report for employee payroll.

SQL Queries
In addition to pre-built reports, users may create or run custom reports using an SQL Query Window. Users can view, print, email, or export the resulting data to Microsoft Excel.

Patient Query
TRAKnet DPM’s Patient Query tool allows the user to specify a number of specific filters to generate a truly custom report surrounding applicable patient information. This information can be viewed, printed, emailed, or exported to Microsoft Excel.

Charges Query
Easily track outstanding charges for patients using our Charges Query. Specify patient responsibility or service date, a specific number of days outstanding and filter by provider, facility or group association. TRAKnet DPM can export results to Microsoft Excel or generate a statement.

Multimedia Repository
TRAKnet DPM includes a multimedia repository. Store pictures, videos, sounds or any other registered Windows file type within a patient’s chart. 1-Click Scan takes images from your scanner and places them in the currently selected patient's chart with a single click

Time Clock
Track employee hours and generate a payroll report by using TRAKnet DPM’s built in Time Clock. Employees punch in and out when they log into the software. If an employee forgets to punch in/out, an administrator can manually punch that employee in or out.

Reminders
Generate personal reminders for yourself and your staff right on your TRAKnet DPM desktop. Even send reminders.

Offline Mode
TRAKnet DPM allows users to work outside of the home network by working “offline” while not connected to the server database.

Internet Update
TRAKnet DPM allows registered users to obtain the most recent version and latest program features automatically via the internet.

Backup
TRAKnet DPM includes a built in Backup function to keep data safe and secure. You can choose the location and create multiple copies of your backup database.

“I know what I want to accomplish in my practice and I know how to get there. The ultimate goal is to be the best. Using the best technology available, an integrated EHR (TRAKnet DPM) and state of the art diagnostic equipment (PADnet+) will help me build a ‘Center of Excellence’ for my patients.”
IRA KRAUS, DPM
Speaking on PADnet+ and TRAKnet DPM (formerly PodMed) in his practice

"Having everything run seamlessly has decreased the stress and increased the efficiency and effectiveness in the office. We no longer have to figure out where the glitch is located since both the electronic billing and electronic health records are in one software. When we switched the billing to PodMed(now TRAKnet DPM), the transition was easy and the staff was spectacular. We probably used up more time than we should have with the need for help but no one complained at PodMed. The entire staff at PodMed constantly tells us that they want us to succeed. It’s not just lip service. They have demonstrated that to us over and over again by pulling us out of a multitude of jams. The software is easy to use and customize to our needs. It allowed us to set up templates for PQRI (Physician Quality Reporting Initiative) so we can qualify for an additional 2% from Medicare at the end of the year. Soon we’ll be able to qualify for the additional 2% for e-prescribing. That by itself more than pays for the annual software update."
DR. CHRIS ROBERTOZZI
Newton, NJ

 “Moving to PodMed (now TRAKnet DPM), was the best move I could make. The EMR is easy to use, the billing system is first rate, and most important, the customer service is the best. They are always making the system better. They really care about the doctors and their staff. I would highly recommend this system to anyone starting out or looking to convert from another system.”
DR. ALAN BASS
Manalapan, NJ

“The implementation of the software (PodMed [now TRAKnet DPM]), was the easiest I have ever seen. Dr. Brooks is done with notes by the end of clinic each day, enabling him to see more patients in less time which makes us more money! We no longer have to buy expensive charting supplies and we are saving on paper because we can scan in patient information.”
KRISTIE MOORE, Practice Administrator for the office of Paul Brooks, DPM
On switching from WISDOM software to PodMed (now TRAKnet DPM)

“PodMed (now TRAKnet DPM), has definitely allowed us to be more productive and lets staff stay focused on assisting with patient care.”
DR. SHANNON MEYER & DR. DAVE LARSEN
Lake Tomahawk, WI
