Eliminate manual paper processes that drive revenue losses and administrative overhead for nurses in outpatient clinics.

Facility Edition was created for hospital-based outpatient clinics eager to eliminate paper, manual coding and charge reconciliation, and laborious charge data master maintenance processes from daily workflow.
The Facility Edition was developed in response to a clear market need for automation. Similar needs in the late 1990s, on the professional side, led MedAptus to respond with point-of-care charge capture for physicians. High adoption rates and demonstrated financial returns prompted hospital customers to inquire about MedAptus developing a similar solution capable of addressing business problems related to:
- Increasing outpatient volume with stagnating reimbursement rates
- Lack of national E&M coding standards
- Compliance challenges between the professional and technical portions of patient encounters
- High cost medications and materials that can be easily overlooked in the team care environment
A key feature of MedAptus’ Facility Edition is its ability to propagate charge data master (CDM) changes – updates and deletions – to the point-of-care. Without automation in place to manage these tasks, many hospitals are left with hundreds of individual encounter form templates needing tight management around version control and distribution. Out-of-date forms can lead to steep revenue losses when high-cost items are utilized and mis-billed.

"The system is extremely easy to use and as a result, allows staff to spend less time on paperwork and more time delivering patient care."
Facility Edition is comprised of:
- Point-of-Care Charge Capture (Facility) Back-office data entry of charges is time-consuming and error prone. Thirty-seconds at the point-of-care can mean the difference between a denial and maximum reimbursement.
- Reconciliation, Coding & Administrative (RCA) Engine (Facility) Free your coding and administrative staff from data entry, coding manuals and time wasted hunting down missing encounter forms. Usage of our RCA Engine means at 5:00, you’ll know where your charges are – ready for billing.
