Capture Provides Cost Saving Solutions For Healthcare

Hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers are transforming the way that they collect and manage medical data. Regulations like HIPAA have demanded new standards and now legislation is encouraging the adoption of new records management solutions, including scanning and capture to increase accuracy, lower cost and speed the process. Healthcare organizations have turned to Datacap software for scanning and capture of the wide variety of healthcare paperwork and are then able to focus more resources on providing quality healthcare.

Key Processes That Benefit From Capture Solutions

Medical Record scanning and capture – The ability to capture and store medical records, encounter forms and lab results in electronic form is a key factor in the modernization of healthcare. Sales orders are the lifeblood of a manufacturing company. Automating the sales process by capturing sales order data can speed input of orders, raise accuracy, and make an organization more responsive to customers and deliver goods and services faster, thereby raising customer satisfaction.

CMS-1500 and UB-04 Medical Claim Processing – For healthcare providers that offer health plans, the processing of medical claims is the most labor-intensive aspect. Automating data entry from claims can eliminate the "heavy lifting" of claims processing and increase accuracy, reduce duplicate claims and maintain HIPAA compliance.

EOB (Explanation of Benefit) Processing - When claim payments are made by Payors, they are accompnied by an EOB,w hich details what was paid on a claim. Healthcare providers must review every EOB to assure that they have received billed totals and capture can help automate the processing of EOBs, even multipage, multi-patient EOBs, which are quite common with large carriers.

Inbound Invoices - Performing manual data entry of invoices into accounting systems or ERP systems may be one of the most tedious and time-consuming aspects of the manufacturing industry. An e-payables solution that uses scanning and recognition to match vendors to a Master Vendor File and automatically extract invoice data - including line items - can significantly reduce cost, raise accuracy and help an organization better manage its cash position.
