Performance improvements are derived from many components of the system. Some of the most critical functional areas include the following.
CEO Pages™ & Transparency of Data
CEO Pages™, Tracking Board, and Reporting Module all provide transparency to data for real-time and retrospective reporting. Keep your hand on the pulse of your organization. CEO Pages™ customizable solution is designed to deliver vital performance, service indicators, and financial information from our systems to CFO/CEO desktops on a regular basis in a format convenient for fast daily, weekly, and monthly monitoring.
Typical information includes: Yesterday, Month-to-Date, Prior Month, Year-to-Date, and Prior Year for various parameters such as admitted visits, LWBS, ALOS, and more. The CEO Pages® are customizable and provide fast and secure access.
Improved Documentation
Unlike other solutions such as transcription, NWS EMR enables an individual data capture for hundreds of attributes used on MD and RN Templates. Such data capture in turn enables extensive data validations contributing to substantially better compliance, improved patient safety, and reduced risks. For example the system helps to assure presence of all data required by Joint Commission (JCAHO) such as pain level assessment.
Computer Assisted Coding (CAC)
Over the last several years the rules involved in delivering ED charges have become increasingly complex and open to interpretation. The complexity of the rules means that even the most experienced coders are likely to miss certain contributing data elements. As the result the charges may not be generated at the right level. This unique component plays an important role in financial viability of the Emergency Departments that is vital to the communities they serve.
Paperless Document Delivery for Provider’s Billing
NWS/EDS Electronic Archival Module automatically generates electronic visit documents for Provider billing companies and for central hospital data repository. Options include archival in PDF format for Physician Billing Companies and in other formats including COLD Feed to McKesson Patient Folder.
Key Benefits of this component include: Substantially reduced billing time, Elimination of lost records, Improved Quality Control, Improved Risk Management, Reduced Losses.
