It was created to be more efficient, safe, and cost-effective, for both patients AND providers, saving healthcare offices serious time and money.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How did M\u012aNA\u00ae start?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681332439562-fa180b19-0ba8&#8243;][vc_column_text]M\u012aNA\u00ae began as an idea from two physicians as a solution to improve the current inefficiencies of obtaining patients\u2019 health histories but has grown to be much more than that. With input from physicians and patients alike, the app and reader software has been optimized to provide a user friendly, secure, and efficient process of communication between patients and their health care providers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How does M\u012aNA\u00ae work?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681332825441-b02d9a58-f630&#8243;][vc_column_text]M\u012aNA\u00ae is quite simple. Patients input their health history information into a smartphone app any time prior to their appointment or in the waiting room (for those without a smartphone, please see FAQ re: patients without a smartphone). At the visit, providers simply scan their patient\u2019s Health Blueprint (QR Code) and integrate the condensed information into their usual workflow[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Which providers are targeted for M\u012aNA\u00ae ?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681332861839-f2732eda-06e2&#8243;][vc_column_text]All health care providers, including physicians, dentists, pharmacies, chiropractors, etc. can benefit from M\u012aNA\u00ae since this information is the basic information required for all healthcare encounters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What patients are targeted for M\u012aNA\u00ae ?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681332921398-8abf0d39-16a2&#8243;][vc_column_text]All patients can use this application, including children.

During this process, participating sites will also receive a unique license key required for full usage of the reader software.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How long does the installation take?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681332969033-2a136d64-860c&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Independent installation can typically be completed in under 10 minutes. If necessary, an optional virtual session with an onboarding specialist can be obtained. For an additional fee, the installation process can be supplemented with a site visit from a knowledgeable and trained M\u012aNA professional as an adjunct to the installation process. This provides approximately 3 hours of in-person instruction and demonstration. During this time, services will include face-to-face training, review, installation, and troubleshooting.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Do the Healthcare Providers take on any additional liability with using M\u012aNA\u00ae ?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681333015485-2b4c59e1-997b&#8221;][vc_column_text]The information within the M\u012aNA\u00ae app is the same information that is included in a traditional health history form.

There are several features that set M\u012aNA\u00ae apart from competitors which is why it has been awarded multiple national and international patents.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How does M\u012aNA separate itself from the competition?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681333192165-64cf38b7-4825&#8243;][vc_column_text]Since M\u012aNA utilizes an untethered platform, it can be universally used. The ability to translate the entirety of the medical library in a bi-directional manner is unique. The use of a scanned Health Blueprint (QR Code) to acquire the condensed secure information is also unique and patented both nationally and internationally. Additionally, the QR Code is, in fact, fluid, meaning that when the information within the smartphone app changes, so does the QR Code. Please understand that there are additional unique features, all of which cannot be expressed here.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How easy is it for patients using the M\u012aNA\u00ae app?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681333302249-619cef94-f2a2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The smartphone application is very easy for patients to use.

Due to the patented encryption technology, any generically generated QR code will not scan with the reader software. M\u012aNA software will not read or recognize any QR code that is not specifically M\u012aNA\u00ae formatted. Since the reader program cannot read non- M\u012aNA\u00ae QR codes, malicious information cannot be read, and thus cannot enter the system on which the reader software is installed. Additionally, the risk to malware is generated from the possibility of a scanned QR code directing to the internet where bad things can happen. The M\u012aNA\u00ae reader software does not use and cannot access the internet (that is a huge part of the benefit of M\u012aNA\u00ae) and thus re-direct type attacks are not possible. The last concern that has been conceived would be that decryption of a \u201cbad\u201d QR code would potentially perform a buffer overflow or similar process. For this to occur, the bad code would need to somehow override the standard industry encryption AND the M\u012aNA\u00ae patented encryption. Following this, there needs to be exceeding amounts of data that would overrun the buffer that would only then lead to overwrites of adjacent memory locations. Many systems currently have set measures to also address this concern because of previous issues. Without the ability to say that the possibility of a buffer overflow situation happening is zero, it would be extremely, extremely, extremely difficult.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Will insurance companies cover the app fee for patients?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681333979391-7d5810f7-e3d1&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]At present, there is a minimum cost but remains affordable and may be subsidized by a number of outside sources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is there a reimbursement element for a provider that uses M\u012aNA\u00ae ?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681334000733-bbb63813-7150&#8243;][vc_column_text]There is a temporary forgiveness\/discount program for early adopters of M\u012aNA\u00ae Please ask for details.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;FAQ \u2013 EMR Integration&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23222222&#8243;][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is M\u012aNA\u00ae an EMR?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1681334295321-62e14561-f509&#8243;][vc_column_text]No. M\u012aNA\u00ae is not an EMR.
