Registration
MEDITECH's Registration software quickly and accurately collects admission and registration data on inpatients, outpatients, emergency room patients, surgical day care patients, observation patients, recurring patients, referred patients, and home health
care patients admitted to facilities throughout a health care network.
The module ensures patient information is formatted uniformly, makes pre-certification and verification checks easier, communicates accurate data throughout the hospital and health care organization, eliminates duplication of effort among multiple departm
ents and home care admissions, and provides an audit trail for managers to maintain quality assurance.
The system notifies admissions officers, through shared information with the Billing/Accounts Receivable application, of bad debt risks. Combined with MEDITECH's Medical Records software, the Registration application also allows users to:
- Quickly retrieve patients' demographic data from their most recent visits
- Automatically assign visit-specific account numbers and unique medical record numbers
- Instantly admit patients directly into departments.
Contract Management routines generate information on insurances, assist users with making the right insurance choice, and provide instructions to follow when an insurance choice is made - all helping to maximize the amount of reimbursement received.
