Dr. Brad Kile, the 2012 Integra User Training Seminar Keynote Speaker and President of the Dumbarton Group, LLC, described the changes faced by long term care, home infusion and oncology providers as a result of healthcare reform. Dr. Kile reviewed pending implementation of initiatives that affect the delivery, access, and reimbursement of services to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. New payment models emerging as a result of the Affordable Care Act were discussed, including new financial incentives for providers. Dr. Kile also described new Medicare enrollment and re-validation processes and how providers can adhere to new requirements. Some points he touched on were:

| Purchasing new hardware? IE 9 Notice | |
With the February release of updates from Microsoft, we are finding a significant number of customers are having their Windows 7 workstations upgraded by Windows Update to Internet Explorer 9 (IE 9). DocuTrack 4.x does not currently support IE9.
Integra recommends you review all upgrade selections made by Windows Updates and decline (uncheck) any update that indicates it is the "Windows Internet Explorer 9" update. We also recommend you hide the update (right click, hide update), so will not be prompted for that update again.
For those considering the purchase of new hardware please confirm with your PC manufacturer that it comes installed with IE 8 OR can be rolled back.
For those that find themselves on a workstation upgraded to IE9, you can roll it back to IE8 by going to:
- Control Panel
- View by: Small or Large icons
- Click Programs and Features icon
- View Installed Updates (upper left hand corner of screen)
- Find the "Windows Internet Explorer 9" update
- Right click and choose uninstall
- Reboot workstation as prompted
For those whose hardware came pre-installed with IE 9 AND the above actions have not been effective, please contact your PC manufacturer for the process to roll back to IE 8.
Integra product management is working on this issue and will be in contact with additional information. |
