Custom Made Orthotics
Orthotics are prescription-made medical devices worn in your shoes to allow the feet and lower extremities to function properly and help eliminate pain and deformity caused by improper function. They are specifically designed to fit your feet and act to restore the near normal biomechanical function for your feet.
Dr. DiNucci takes great pride in providing his patients with the best possible orthoses (often called orthotics) for their particular problem. The quality of orthotic devices is extremely variable and they are made by many different doctors and allied health practitioners.
At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona we guarantee our patients that their orthoses are the finest quality, biomechanically accurate, and will be comfortable to wear in the proper shoes.
The Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona offers a 3-dimensional Imaging System that offers Dynamic Gait Analysis along with 3 Dimensional and 2 Dimensional Static Imaging. In addition you o not have to be subjected to the inconvenience of plaster casts of your feet.
We are able to electronically image your feet and order your orthoses electronically which means your orthoses will arrive within a week. If you were to need additional orthoses or you were to lose an orthotic your foot images are stored in our computer database and can be accessed at anytime for a new order or replacement order.
Electronic Medical Record
The electronic health record is like a toolbox that we use to help manage our practice and take better care of our patients. It allows us to improve our documentation and efficiency. We believe the quality of care is enhanced by having more ready access to all relevant clinical information at the time of the patient visit. We are able to easily monitor and analyze patient conditions and easily identify patients who are due for follow-up appointments or other clinical tests.
We are able to provide direct faxing of prescriptions to pharmacies and able to send patient visit notes to referring physicians within the same day of the patients visit. In addition, since the patient chart is available within our computer, we are able at the time of a patient phone call to access the chart and eliminate the "we'll pull your chart and call you back later" responses.
Security is a concern with medical records at The Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona our software has been certified for the HIPAA regulations by the HIPAA Academy, a national HIPAA educator and certification specialist. This certifications means that our software program meets or exceeds the HIPAA standards required for an electronic medical record.
