Adventist Health System Signs Agreement with Dolbey to Implement Fusion CAC Powered by EMscribe, Computer-Assisted Coding Solution - 2.16.10
Dolbey Systems, Inc. and Adventist Health System have signed an agreement to implement Fusion CAC™ Powered by EMscribe™, Dolbey’s computer assisted coding solution. Dolbey will install Fusion CAC across the Adventist Health System’s 33 hospitals spanning 9 states including the nation’s busiest hospital, Florida Hospital. Fusion CAC will be deployed to enhance both the inpatient and outpatient medical coding process by pre-coding charts with both ICD9 and CPT-4 codes. Computer assisted coding software from Dolbey, powered by the patent-pending natural language processing (NLP) engine EMscribe, is an innovative technology that uses algorithmic, clinical language analysis of an entire patient chart to suggest codes. Starting with pre-coded charts enables Medical Coders to focus their skilled expertise on coding accuracy, consistency and rule compliance. Fusion CAC results in a streamlined coding workflow, enhances the revenue cycle process and provides for more accurate, consistent and timely reimbursement outcomes.
“This opportunity will allow Dolbey and Adventist Health System to prove computer-assisted coding’s efficiencies and results in one of the most successful health systems. Adventist Health System’s senior leadership has a vision of new, inventive ways that computer-assisted coding can positively impact not just the coding and billing process for revenue but to proactively drive precise patient care for quality outcomes,” states Chris Casto, Vice President of Dolbey Systems.
Elliott Familant, chief architect of the NLP technology that drives Fusion CAC, states, “Adventist Health System has seen a great potential in Fusion CAC for automating coding workflow, pre- and post-auditing of coding events, increasing productivity of human coders and providing tools to all levels of healthcare case management.”
Fusion computer-assisted coding technology is one component of an integrated Health Information Management Fusion Suite offered by Dolbey to healthcare that also includes Fusion Voice for dictation management, Fusion Text for transcription and document management and Fusion Expert and Speech for both front-end and back-end speech recognition for healthcare.
