OnBase for Healthcare
By complementing existing technology investments to cost effectively improve both patient care and business processes with minimal user training, OnBase has established itself as a recognized leader in healthcare IT for both providers and insurance payers. The American Hospital Association’s (AHA) exclusive endorsement of OnBase as an integrated document management solution to improve revenue cycle management, back office operations and human resources is based on product functionality and knowledge of best practices.
KLAS™ Enterprises, a research firm specializing in monitoring and reporting the performance of information technology vendors in the healthcare field, named OnBase number eight overall in “The Top 20: 2006 KLAS Year-End Report Card”. OnBase has also been recognized by KLAS as a leader in the Acute Care Document Management and Imaging category.
Improving the collection of and access to patient information from virtually any source and at any point in the patient care cycle, OnBase complements existing clinical applications to create a comprehensive longitudinal record. Whether using OnBase as a solution for creating an EMR or to extend the document management capabilities of an existing EMR application, healthcare providers can create, control and manage a legal medical record that consolidates all patient information, including media from clinical care applications such as PACS images or EKGs.
The illustration below shows how documents can be captured at the point of registration, during the course of treatment and after treatment is completed. Throughout applications in this process, the patient information stored in OnBase can be integrated with existing applications, including those from McKesson Corp., Cerner Corp., Seimens, IDX Systems Corp. GE Healthcare and Epic Systems Corp.

* A solution to create or supplement an EMR/EHR initiative for a true longitudinal patient record
* Elimination of redundant patient data collection
* Secure, immediate access to comprehensive patient data from virtually any location based on user role and security rights
* Proactive identification of missing/incorrect information that could affect the revenue cycle
