Healthcare Integrations

By integrating and unifying enterprise applications with OnBase, healthcare organizations can leverage existing IT investments and maximize their capabilities. Spanning both clinical and business processes, OnBase eliminates disconnected and inefficient paper processes that exist despite previous investments in clinical, billing and administrative information systems. In addition to eliminating technology silos, complementing these applications with OnBase reduces operational costs and IT complexity while supporting a healthcare provider’s ability to deliver high-quality patient care.

OnBase Healthcare Solutions are designed to complement IT investments by acting as an extension of existing business applications, maximizing the capabilities of previous IT expenditures and minimizing employee training. Whether you rely on a tier-one application across the enterprise, a niche solution or a combination of many software applications, OnBase features an array of options to content- and workflow-enable your existing applications. OnBase Healthcare Solutions can be integrated with

• Epic Systems
• GE Centricity®
• Lawson™ Software
• Or practically any other clinical or business office application

Unlike many point solutions in healthcare that offer niche functionality for only medical records or business office, OnBase is a full-featured ECM suite that can scale to all areas of your organization to provide a single solution for all of your document and content management needs. Whether you are registering a patient, reviewing a medical record, remotely coding claims, paying accounts payable invoices or viewing an employee file in human resources, OnBase provides one document management solution for your entire organization. Like a point solution, however, OnBase offers robust healthcare-specific functionality to support the electronic health records (EHR) and revenue cycle management initiatives of your organization, complemented by healthcare expertise offered by our staff of clinicians, RHIAs and industry experts.

The OnBase Application Enabler™ rapidly integrates OnBase with text-based, Java™, Windows®, Web-based and host applications without the need for custom coding. Easily configured and rapidly deployable, Application Enabler has been used to integrate OnBase with hundreds of line-of-business applications to reduce labor associated with indexing and retrieval, automate the creation of template-based documents and trigger automated workflows.

Healthcare Modules

Complementing its core ECM functionality, OnBase offers modules that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of healthcare payers and providers. Recognized by the AHA and KLAS, OnBase is used by more than 500 healthcare organizations. OnBase Healthcare Solutions include Paperless Patient Registration, EMR augmentation, Revenue Cycle Management and Inpatient Pharmacy.

OnBase Healthcare Modules such as the EDI 835 EOB Processor, EDI 837 Processor and HL7 Listener/Sender enhance existing clinical and billing applications by consolidating paper-based and electronic documents, reducing manual labor and improving timeliness and accuracy of data. As a result, providers and payers can complement their existing healthcare IT investments and reduce IT complexity.

Patient care is also impacted by OnBase Healthcare Solutions. Whether a provider needs a comprehensive Medical Records Manager or to bridge the gap between an electronic health record and documents generated outside of that system, OnBase provides an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution that can be rapidly deployed with minimal impact on users. OnBase can be integrated with virtually any hospital information system, including those from Epic Systems Corp. or GE Centricity applications, as well as PACS systems. To improve patient safety and medical record accuracy, OnBase can also listen for Sentillion CCOW messages to support user sign on as well as switch patient context from outside applications.

A number of other OnBase modules are typically used by healthcare organizations. Capture and Imaging modules are an intrinsic part of most healthcare solutions. For example, Front Office Scanning is used to drive paperless patient registration solutions.
