"The momentum we've seen on the revenue cycle management side demonstrates the increasing need for innovative solutions that support the creation of optimized processes and increased efficiency," stated Janet Dillione, CEO, Health Services, Siemens Medical Solutions. "Soarian helps to streamline access to financial information across the enterprise, allowing for stronger collaboration among care givers and staff members, and more efficient and informed decision making."
This week at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2008 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Siemens (Booth #3763) is showcasing the following solutions from its revenue cycle management portfolio:
* Soarian Financials is a next-generation IT solution designed to streamline revenue-cycle management by helping manage costs through a patient-centric, workflow-driven approach. Soarian Financials embeds a contract engine and an enterprise-wide master person index (EMPI) into a comprehensive revenue-cycle solution. By delegating the right work, to the right person, at the right time and place, Soarian Financials can help healthcare organizations refine the registration process, reduce delays and denials, integrate payer rules and edits up front, increase point-of-service collections, generate accurate claims, reduce dependencies on third parties, and simplify patient billing.
* Soarian HIM provides immediate access to a complete, online medical record. Patient data is streamlined, virtual, and paperless, so information is available at the point of need. The solution consolidates traditionally separate HIM applications into one environment-online record, deficiency analysis, chart completion, coding management, HIPAA disclosures, and information releases-all combined into a single infrastructure for storage.
* Soarian Scheduling is an enterprise-wide patient scheduling and resource management solution that optimizes the delivery of care services for each individual patient. The solution seamlessly integrates scheduling and registration workflows to help increase user productivity and significantly reduce patient wait times.
