Implementing interoperability solutions can help healthcare providers to better comply with industry regulations and reduce the risk of compliance-related issues and penalties. But that’s only half the story.
Because most federal guidelines aim to streamline patient access to financial and health information, improved compliance can also bolster the customer experience, increasing the likelihood of repeat business, and helping revenue move back into your facility faster.
Unfortunately, staying up-to-date and in good standing with federal regulations is easier said than done. In this blog, we’ll break down what you need to know and how technology partnerships can keep your facility on track.
Delivering high-quality patient care while meeting healthcare mandates can be a challenging task for many providers. However, partnering with an experienced professional can provide a strong foundation of established compliance and ongoing assistance.
One of the most pressing regulations for hospitals, and our focus for this post, is the 2015 Edition Cures Update of the Promoting Interoperability (PI) program.
The 2015 Edition Cures Update of the Promoting Interoperability (PI) program is a set of regulations developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that are intended to promote the use of electronic health records (EHRs) by healthcare providers.
This update introduces new requirements for providers and aims to improve patient access and health data sharing options.
Most traditional, on-site IT teams already have their plate full with day-to-day operations and aren’t equipped to handle monitoring and implementing increasingly complex regulatory updates. Working with an experienced partner can help offload some of these obligations while ensuring the secure access, exchange, and use of electronic health information at enterprise scale.
Some services these partnerships can offer include:
If some of that reads like a foreign language—you're not alone, and we can help.
The MEDHOST Cures 2023 Interoperability Solution is the result of over 35 years of managed IT experience. It enables hospitals to comply with PI regulations, maximize reimbursements, and avoid penalties from non-compliance.
This feature helps you meet public health reporting requirements under the Promoting Interoperability Program through streamlined automation.
For example, “hands-free” functionality can take the pressure off hospital staff by reducing workflow disruptions such as eligible case identification or maintaining reportable condition trigger codes for electronic case reporting (eCR).
CommonWell Integration provides access to a secure, nationwide exchange of health records for over 34,000 provider sites and more than 191 million unique individuals.
Through this partnership, MEDHOST customers can access:
