BayScribe provides Solutions that enable documentation & collaboration
The complexity of Clinical Documentation is increasing as are the demands for accurate documentation in support of appropriate reimbursement. Facilities are challenged with trying to implement new EHR systems and processes; get providers to embrace the technology & participate in Health Information Exchange, all while attempting to garner federal dollars via Meaningful Use reimbursement. We have developed the V6 Semantic Interoperability engine (v6SI) to power collaboration in healthcare.
Facilities are challenged with integrating aging dictation and transcription systems that were not designed to be integrated with modern Clinical Information Systems (CIS) — EHR, PACS/RIS, LIS, etc. — and also, trying to glean data from these dictated reports for use in the CIS & HIE in support of Collaborative Care.
The documentation process is slowing because upgrades to the facilities CIS often create integration challenges with the existing dictation and transcription systems; systems that are not sophisticated enough to handle the new requirements of clinical documentation. Staffers struggle with inefficient manual processes trying to keep up with the case loads… and Quality of Patient Care suffers. Meanwhile, providers resist the point-and-click mantra of EHR documentation, so the facility’s ability to collect Structured Data suffers.
The economic challenges of doing more with less are certainly impacting Clinical Documentation. Providers get frustrated with the excessive downtime of antiquated systems in need of replacement. Transcription grapples with poor audio quality and lost dictation. HIM struggles to meet budgetary constraints, and Quality/PI departments do the best they can to meet reimbursement levels. But capital budget is hard to obtain, so staffers plug along often cutting and pasting information into electronic records and re-booting dictation servers.
