Business Wire
QuadraMed® Corporation (NASDAQ:QDHC), a leading provider of
healthcare information technologies and services that help turn
quality care into positive financial outcomes, today announced that
Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has selected
QuadraMed’s Enterprise Scheduling™ (QES) solution to schedule
hospital ancillary procedures and accelerate reimbursements. Named
as one of “America’s Best Hospitals” in five categories by U.S.
News & World Report in 2009, Wake Forest Baptist will implement
QuadraMed’s enterprise scheduling solution to automate workflow for
improved clinician and patient satisfaction, as well as increased
organizational productivity.
The rules-based QES system enables healthcare organizations to
centralize and streamline their patient access processes. QES
features QuadraMed’s advanced identity management technology to
ensure accurate patient identification at the earliest opportunity
to avoid downstream errors and rework. Additionally, the solution
provides automated call-back reminders for patient visits and
upfront medical-necessity verification to accelerate
reimbursements.
“QuadraMed’s scheduling solution will help us centralize
ancillary procedure scheduling functions and optimize our staff
utilization for better delivery of patient care,” said Joe Foster,
associate director of information services at Wake Forest Baptist.
“Radiology will be the first major ancillary implemented, with
other ancillary departments to follow in a phased roll-out. Our
previous experience implementing QuadraMed solutions with our
existing applications was very positive, so we were confident that
QES would easily integrate with our existing ambulatory and acute
care systems.”
Wake Forest Baptist’s integrated health system includes North
Carolina Baptist Hospital and Wake Forest University Health
Sciences, which consists of the Wake Forest University School of
Medicine and Wake Forest University Physicians. With 22 affiliate
hospitals, the award-winning healthcare organization is responsible
for more than 1,000 acute care, rehabilitation, long-term, and
psychiatric care beds, as well as outpatient services, and
community health and information centers.
“QES provides health care organizations with the tools to
simplify patient access and scheduling, which then minimizes
scheduling conflicts and expensive delays,” said Duncan W. James,
QuadraMed's president and CEO. “With the continued pressure on
healthcare reimbursement practices, it’s even more important to
immediately capture critical patient registration and billing
information to ensure appropriate and timely payment for patient
visits and procedures.”
