Designed to enhance physician work-flow and yield a high ROI, the Ingenious Med point-of-care solution optimizes and aligns hospital and physician performance and revenue for users nationwide, through an all-inclusive, complimentary and award winning application. Ingenious Med optimizes:
CHARGE AND DATA CAPTURE
At the core of Ingenious Med’s point-of-care solution is the charge and data capture and coding suite, which helps physicians capture a larger number of charges and decrease denials while improving quality of care. The automated process aids in optimizing diagnoses, assisting in data entry and capture, and providing the most accurate codes available. The intuitive application provides instant feedback eliciting physician behavioral change at the point-of-care, designed to enhance quality of care, coding and documentation compliance.
Ingenious Med’s charge and data capture tool provides billing departments with cleaner, more accurate bills, enabling billers to review and submit physician charges within hours of an encounter to minimize charge lag.
The program is built around a physician’s existing workflow, allowing ease of use and adoption. With a strong focus on mobility, users can easily manage their census and make the most accurate diagnoses and charges at the point-of-care.
The automated charge and data capture aids in:
- Optimizing diagnoses and codes
- Increasing hospital, physician and practice revenue
- Improving quality of care
- Efficiency and time
- Decreasing lost or missing charges
- Point-of-care feedback
- Capturing a larger number of charges
- Decreasing denials
- Improving collections per encounter
- Improving denial reimbursements
- Real-time bill scrubbing
CODING AND DOCUMENTATION
With the continual concern of audits and the need to remain compliant, coding and documentation is vital to today’s hospitals and physicians, which is why Ingenious Med offers a tool to ensure coding and documentation are compliant. Additionally, the automated coding functionality allows for accurate and optimized coding and diagnosis procedures.
Ingenious Med’s MasterCoder, an E&M documentation feature, automates what it would be like to have a coding consultant with you at every patient encounter. This permits practices to improve reimbursements and remain compliant by walking physicians through a natural approach to coding patient encounters. Additionally, MasterCoder constantly informs your clinicians on best coding and documentation practices.
Through Ingenious Med’s Documentation Optimizer, specific metrics can be printed, signed and added to the patient’s medical record. This feature gives clinicians the ability to print a report upon discharge which includes specific documentation related to the patient’s stay along with additional information that can affect reimbursement levels.
QUALITY
Ingenious Med’s industry-unique quality tool enables physicians and executives to document, capture, report and submit quality performance metrics.
Physicians, private practices and hospitals that track quality performance can enhance revenue, improve clinical care, and prove practice value to hospitals, payors and patients. The quality tool also helps physicians participate in pay-for-performance and value-based purchasing initiatives such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service’s (CMS) Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRS).
Ingenious Med’s functionality makes quality data capture, feedback and submission easy. At the point-of-care physicians are prompted and educated on applicable measures to ensure the best quality of care is given to patients, while reporting on quality measures throughout the billing process. Additionally, as an official PQRS registry, Ingenious Med can submit clients’ data directly to CMS.
REPORTING
The reporting tool enables physicians and administrators to measure, view and analyze physician and practice performance data in real-time. Ingenious Med aggregates billing and performance data across multiple sites, enabling practices to prove their value to their hospitals, as well as to optimize physician and practice performance. Hospital executives find this data helps maintain a quick overview or highly-detailed look into productivity, census and cost across all specialties and sites. Reports also aid in tracking utilization which includes individual physician length of stay and readmission.
Reports include Summary Reports, Coding Reports, Length of Stay, Readmission, Census and Staffing Metrics Reports, Patient Details, Physician Metrics Reports, Maintenance Reports and more.
COMMUNICATION
Ingenious Med’s communication tool works to facilitate and improve inter-staff communication while optimizing patient handoff/transition and peer-to-peer operations. The communication tool is designed to streamline disseminated information between hospital executives, physicians and their colleagues, administrators, billers, patients and primary care physicians.
The communication tool provides physicians with live chat, messaging, discharge summary and cross-cover capabilities, which enable physicians to disseminate critical practice and clinical information to each other in real-time. This tool serves as the communications center for all sites. Frequently used Web links, practice templates and documents can be stored on the Ingenious Med home page for easy access.
