Ingenious Med, the nation’s largest multispecialty charge capture and physician performance solution, has announced a new update to its impowermobile charge capture software, adding the ability to have a virtual Superbill at the point of care.

“We listen to our users and regularly update our physician rounding platform and charge capture suite to improve their overall user experience,” said Hart Williford, CEO of Ingenious Med. “We are continually looking for new ways to make our solution more efficient and easier to use at time of care so physicians can spend more time with patients.”

With a physician-friendly workflow, the company’s adoption rate of 95 percent is the highest in the industry. According to Williford, the solution is also a key revenue-generating platform.

“Most hospitals have subsidized the physician P&L by $40,000-100,000 per physician, per year,” he said. “This increased revenue resulting from improved diagnoses and billing accuracy allows hospitals and private groups to maximize profits and get a solid return on investment for implementing the solution.”

A new study from BSA | The Software Alliance and INSEAD, one of the world’s leading business schools, finds that increasing the use of properly licensed software would have a greater impact on the economy in Cyprus than allowing similar growth in the use of pirated software.
A 1 percent increase in use of licensed software would generate an estimated 25 million Euro in national production, compared to 5 million Euro from a similar increase in pirated software -meaning properly licensed software would deliver 19 million Euro in additional economic value. Increasing licensed software use globally by 1 percent would inject an estimated $73 billion into the world economy, compared to $20 billion from pirated software – a difference of $53 billion.
Competitive Advantage: The Economic Impact of Properly Licensed Software is a groundbreaking analysis that draws on data from 95 countries to demonstrate the benefits to national economies of using fully licensed software. The study confirms that increasing use of licensed software corresponds to substantial positive gains in gross domestic product (GDP), and that the economic stimulus effect of properly licensed software is significantly greater than that of pirated software.
“Using properly licensed software reduces risk and creates operating efficiencies that go directly to the bottom line for enterprises,” said Mr. Nicolas Ktenas, BSA Representative in Cyprus. “This study confirms that licensed software is not just good for firms — it is an important driver of national economic growth. Government, law enforcement, and industry in Cyprus should take every opportunity to reap these potential gains by reducing piracy and promoting use of properly licensed software.”
The study also finds that each additional euro invested in properly licensed software has an estimated return on investment (ROI) of 120 Euro This compares to a 30 Euro return from each additional euro worth of pirated software put into use.
“Previous studies have shown that value-added services delivered with properly licensed software help firms to reduce costs and increase their productivity. This report goes one step further to ascertain the impact of software use on national production,” said Eduardo Rodriguez-Montemayor, senior research fellow at INSEAD eLab. “The results make it clear that licensed software is beneficial for business and national economies — and that licensed software has a greater economic impact than pirated software across all countries included in the study.”
Governments and enterprises wanting to embrace the economic opportunity presented by licensed software use should take action in the following areas:
• Establish strong and modern intellectual property laws that protect software and other copyrighted materials on PCs, mobile devices, and in the cloud.
• Step up enforcement of intellectual property rights with dedicated resources.
• Raise public awareness about the risks of software piracy.
• Lead by example by using only fully licensed software and implementing software asset management programs.
