Meta Health Technology Announces Total Chart Completion Solution
New HIM Solution Reduces Chart Completion Costs By 60% and Boosts Physician Satisfaction
New York, NY — Meta Health Technology announced Denver, CO ± Meta Health Technology announced today at the 78th AHIMA Convention in Denver the introduction of its Total Chart Completion Solution. The new solution totally automates the patient chart completion process by integrating hospitals' dictation and transcription software with Meta's electronic signature and chart deficiency products. Physicians can now sign any document electronically — even handwritten notes — any time, anywhere. HIM departments can save up to 60% in staff time and significantly increase physician satisfaction.
A Win-Win Solution for HIM and Physicians
The solution was developed to help the HIM department address the challenges inherent in the chart completion process. Regulatory requirements and institutional bylaws impose stringent requirements regarding timely completion of medical records. The process itself is labor-intensive at a time when hospital resources are increasingly scarce. It is also a source of great inconvenience for physicians, and takes time away from patient care. At the same time, delays in chart completion mean delays in billing, directly impacting the hospital's revenue cycle. With Meta's Total Chart Completion Solution, HIM managers will enjoy faster chart completion, fewer delinquent records, better clinical documentation and better compliance with JCAHO and other requirements.
“Our clients are constantly seeking ways to become more efficient, to streamline workflow. Chart analysis and completion traditionally takes significant amounts of staff time, requiring a substantial manual effort, which makes it a natural target for automation,” said Eli Nahmias, President and CEO of Meta Health Technology. “The new solution totally automates the management of deficiencies by anticipating, assigning and completing deficiencies electronically. By integrating all relevant systems with the hospital EMR, Meta's Total Chart Completion Solution eliminates the need for manual deficiency analysis. At the same time, it makes all documents available to the physician for editing and signature on any web-enabled device. Our customers experience over 90% completion of signature deficiencies within five days of dictation with few, if any, charts to be pulled.”
