Genie: How long will it take to integrate?

TouchMD will start working on your request within 24 – 48 business hours. However, setup and completion of an integration requires coordination and scheduling with the Genie technical team. On average, Genie integrations take 2 – 4 weeks to complete.

Genie: What does it cost?

There is a fee to setup an integration with Genie. An additional fee will be added to all subsequent TouchMD Monthly Maintenance invoices to maintain the Genie interface. The setup fee is to cover the time and resources spent by our IT and Integration teams to configure the integration between TouchMD and your EMR/EHR/PM system. The monthly fee is to maintain the connection between TouchMD and your EMR/EHR/PM system. With the integration, our system stores specific encrypted information on our server for each patient account to correctly link the patient between TouchMD and EMR/EHR/PM system. Storage of this information comes at a cost from our server host and the monthly fee covers those costs.
