Team Chart Concept is the first EHR in the United States to successfully report cancer cases in real-time to a cancer registry. Ulrich Medical collaborated with Paducah Dermatology, the Kentucky Health Information Exchange, the Kentucky Regional Extension Center, the Kentucky Cancer Registry, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide complete, timely and accurate data needed to combat cancer.
TCC can also interface to medical systems that are HL7 compliant, including:

- Laboratories; and
- Hospitals
TCC can directly import data from medical devices that offer information in a flat file format with a unique patient identification number. Ulrich Medical will make every effort to interface to any medical device or system that supports some sort of data interchange. Additional fees may apply.
TCC is HIPAA compliant. The Team Chart Concept supports all electronic file formats (ASCII Xl2) for submission and reception of healthcare information. TCC also supports all requirements related to the privacy of information within TCC and the encryption of that information when shared with authorized medical facilities outside of your organization. The HIPAA standard is ever-changing, and Ulrich Medical will continue to be HIPAA compliant as new regulations are announced.
Team Chart Concept offers several different levels of security, protecting sensitive information:
- A Windows username and password is required to log on to the network and run TCC.
- A TCC username and password is required to access information in TCC.
- Departments are assigned to each user within TCC control who can create and/or access information.
These measures ensure that only authorized users view information within TCC.
Our team of experts will help scan your old charts, as well as paper documents from outside sources, in TCC for easy access. By storing all information in TCC, all patient information is immediately accessible and available for review by any authorized personnel.
Typically, smaller practices are fully operational in two to three months. Practices of 10 or more providers may require additional time.
Several factors influence the time frame:
- Installation of hardware
- Delivery of setup information
- Approval from clearinghouse
- Adherence to training schedule
