Dear BridgeIT Customer,

 

UDS + will be part of a new module that the BridgeIT Development Team is working to get tested and installed by October 2023 in preparation for the new FHIR HL7 interface requirements being imposed for the 2023 reporting period.

Our team has already signed up and been accepted by HRSA as a tester once they have the full scope of the data file structure and required elements to start testing.

Each site will need a FHIR HL7 Interface and we are working to see if that can be included into a current Toolbox or if it will be more like the UDS Mapper and be external but using the same trusted Heckman Consulting Group projects.

To plan for this new UDS + there will be two factors that need to occur.

  1. Purchase the FHIR HL7 Interface.  Each site will be required to purchase the add-on for their BridgeIT.  Estimated Costs will be $5,500 to $7,000 per site and then $1,000 to $1,500 for additional data sets for PCA Groups or shared servers.

 

  1. Upgrade to the Microsoft 2016/2019/365 version of BridgeIT, which is in BETA and will be released soon.  Your Annual Maintenance pays for the software upgrade; however, moving from one MS version to another is going to run each site around $1,500 to $2,000, depending on the number of Toolboxes that must be migrated.

In closing it is best to plan for a minimum of $7,000 for a single site and up to $9,000 to get your site up to date and compliant with the new UDS + FHIR HL7 requirements.  See how to pay for this module with the links below.  Qualified sites may receive $60,000 or more.

 

Go to our Website and get signed up TODAY!!!  Pre-Order UDS +

Thank you for being a BridgeIT customer and we are here to keep your Community Healthcare Organization run as smoothly as possible.
