(HealthNewsDigest.com) – McLean, VA – February 21, 2011 – Washington Consulting, Inc. (WCI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alion Science and Technology, has launched a set of health information technology solutions that support healthcare providers with their claims management processes. The Revenue Cycle Management solution delivers significant efficiencies to providers’ cash flow management, quickly producing a strong return on investment.
Large numbers of health providers have inefficient processes that often lead to lost and delayed revenue. WCI’s Revenue Cycle Management solution, a set of components built on EMC’s Documentum xCP Content Management platform, features improvements that will ultimately streamline revenue cycle processes from patient admission through claims payment, decrease the number of insurance denials and improve access to relevant content.
The Patient Access Services components will speed admissions, increasing accuracy of patient information, and jump-start the Revenue Cycle process. Second, the Encounter Management components will integrate the Electronic Health Record (EHR) into the Revenue Cycle to accurately capture services. And finally, the Patient Financial Services components will enhance claims processing, decrease insurance denials and streamline correspondence management.
“This is a win-win solution for everyone—healthcare providers can gain an increase in approved claims and revenue and patients may endure less paperwork and fewer healthcare denials,” said Marty Brennan, WCI’s President. “Our Revenue Cycle Management solution is a significant addition to our growing suite of Health IT solutions, which are designed to improve business processes for healthcare providers.”
Brennan added that WCI selected EMC’s Documentum xCP Content Management platform for this particular solution set to make use of its strong business process management and security features and the ability to centrally manage content. “Our customers depend on us to identify and apply the right technologies to increase efficiency and control costs,” he explained.
The Revenue Cycle Management solution launch coincides with the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2011 Conference, which takes place in Orlando, Fla. from Feb. 20-24. At HIMSS, Washington Consulting’s Bradley Branham will be moderating a conference session on “Creating an Ideal Patient Online Experience through an Enterprise Approach.”
WCI has been helping commercial, non-profit and federal clients oversee and implement complex business technology solutions since 2003. WCI’s recent efforts have been working with organizations, such as the Veterans Health Administration, to help evaluate and monitor health IT solutions’ ability to deliver anticipated benefits and to promote user adoption of these solutions. WCI is also serving on the Industry Advisory Council committee to help plan for broader VistA deployment, particularly in areas such as user adoption, interoperability, economic costs and operational support. WCI’s experience and background in delivering full life-cycle health, and business and technology solutions will ensure that healthcare organizations select the technology that provides the most benefit for investment and successfully operates within the workflow of each organization.
