Healthcare organizations of all types and sizes face intense economic, regulatory and competitive pressures. Organizations must find efficient ways to satisfy these requirements while keeping costs to a minimum and maintain their accreditations.
To maintain a competitive advantage, organizations must deliver high quality patient care while lowering operational costs. The typical office handles tens of thousands of documents and images each year requiring the allocation of physical space to store patient charts, patient information forms, insurance claim forms, explanation of benefits, treatment authorization forms, HR materials, and more. The majority of this information is handled through inefficient, manual processes. The requirement is for an easy-to-use yet powerful, integrated document and workflow management system that enables healthcare providers to store, access, manage, and share critical documents across a broad range of functions, departments and locations.
Healthcare organizations rely on Treeno Document Management to:
Treeno EDM can interface with Healthcare Information Systems via an HL7 Interface. Upon entry of a patient admittance into application like Meditech, a patient record will automatically be added to Treeno’s secure folder structure. Treeno will produce a patient barcode routing sheet which will allow the file to be scanned directly to the patient file.
The Treeno EMD system seamlessly integrates with patient information and finance applications such as Profiler. With just a single click, you can retrieve filed documents and automatically file, name and link documents to patient transactions within your patient and finance application.
Treeno simplifies the archiving process by uploading patient information data directly into Treeno to automatically create patient folders. By leveraging Treeno document specific barcodes, filing of older patient files can be automated without requiring the scan processor to have to manually code the file. Treeno document type bar codes can separate the patient files into sections to allow for document types to be secured as well as allow authorized users easier access to specific files for retrieval.
Store financial documents linked to your financial application for oneclick retrieval and filing. Explanation of Benefit can be accessed and stored. Treeno EDM provides audited, secured financial transaction management.
The challenge for many healthcare organizations is managing the notification and signoff process for policy and procedure changes. With Treeno EDM, version tracking will allow administration to track company policies, reflect changed and the date and time of change. With Treeno workflow notification, users associated with the policy can be notified of policy change and sign off on their acceptance and acknowledgement of the change. Policy change acknowledgement helps to protect healthcare organization from suits and penalties.
Let Treeno manage your corrective action activities following an audit. Treeno can upload the corrective management file to automatically add each activity. Each activity can be assigned to a user or department. Treeno reports can provide real time visibility to completed and non completed task. Communication on what was done to correct the action can be tracked and reported on as well. Treeno can help you to maintain your accreditation by making sure no activity is overlooked.
Managing and renegotiating vendor contracts can be a timeconsuming, daunting task. Let Treeno EDM help you manage the renewal process. Leverage Treeno tools to report on contract expiration, renewal, and renegotiation time lines. With Treeno’s versioning capability, you can track changes to a contract, including who made each modification and when.
The Treeno EDM solution seamlessly integrates with your client and vendor portals and allows users with appropriate permissions to access financial documents in an authenticated and secure environment. Treeno also provides a publishing portal to allow selected documents to be securely viewed by an external party. Access to the Treeno publishing portal is audited and tracked via the Treeno audit table.
Managing the quantity of client and business documents is challenging enough without adding the laborious task of managing the document retention policies specific to each document type. You can simplify retention and purging processes using business rules defined by your organization. Rules can be as simple as, “If document exceeds seven years past date scanned, purge automatically”, or as complex as, “Based on the document type, Status field, and Time Beyond Date field, notify authorized user to view prior to purge”. Mitigate your risk by establishing your retention policy and automating the process.
