NeoTool — Singular Focus, Healthcare Integrated

Posted in Healthcare Integration, HL7 Messaging, HL7 Standard

Healthcare integration plays a critical role in streamlining billing workflow. As highlighted in an earlier post, the HL7 Standard and HL7 messaging facilitates a more effective data flow.

Healthcare billing departments are dependent on getting accurate information in a timely manner to meet their goals, such as increasing cash flow and decreasing operational costs. Getting the needed patient information and charge capture data can be accomplished using HL7 interfaces.

Automating your environment with HL7 interfaces leads to many tangible and intangible benefits for your billing facility including:

• Increased accuracy with reduced manual entry
• Increased Turn Around Time (TAT) with data flowing to billing in near real time
• Decreased paper records storage and office space with electronic data (digital archive)
• Fewer denied claims due to timely and complete information
• Increased cash flow with lower DSO (Days Sales Outstanding)
• Improved data retrieval - faster, searchable, simultaneous access by multiple users
• Increased patient satisfaction with more accurate billing
• Increase efficiency

As a result, your operations will be more competitive, profitable, and streamlined. To learn more, read another blog post on how to streamline your billing workflow.
