NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthWare Systems, Inc., specialists in providing fingertip access to patient billing information for acute care and healthcare facilities, announced today at Healthcare Financial Management Association’s (HFMA) Annual National Institute the availability of ActiveAUDIT, an interactive auditing tool designed to improve quality assurance in the registration process and positively impact revenue cycle operations.
ActiveAUDIT is the eighth module to be introduced in the ActiveWARE suite, and according to HealthWare Systems CEO Steve Gruner, it is the component that truly leverages the other tools. “This system allows business managers to easily review the registration process and efficiently make immediate corrections that influence the billing process and revenue cycle.”
ActiveAUDIT works by allowing reviewers to look at data collected during the registration process and validate against the source documentation all in one step, from one screen.
“The tool automatically accesses source documents the minute a user scrolls over a particular data point,” said Gruner. “For example, a reviewer looking at admissions information on a specific account will automatically see the original physician order and be able to confirm that the data is accurate or make any adjustments immediately. The user does not need to waste time looking for original documents or entering other systems for supporting data.”
Information can be sorted into specific reports so that managers can look at the process in terms of specific registrars (for performance evaluations, training or repurposing), by error type (to identify problem areas or identify systems enhancement opportunities), by financial class or patient type.
ActiveAUDIT is designed to leverage ActiveREG, the automated, context- sensitive admissions tool built to aid registrars who must understand a wide range of requirements based on each unique registration, and ActiveEPF, a tool that stores all relevant patient information in one electronic file. ActiveAUDIT also maintains a complete history of HL7 transactions so that users can see the account as it existed at a specific time and know exactly when and where in the process errors were made.
