Who we really are…
We juggle projects and priorities
And….
We connect systems to share data
And…
We communicate, communicate, communicate
What is Patient Identification?• Selecting the right patient ensures patient safety:
– Identifying the right patients allows the clinicians to pull the correct medical history
– A sophisticated search algorithm is used to search through 4.5 million patient records.
– Linking patients across Johns Hopkins Medicine will allow for retrieval of medical history across the JHM family.
• Systems:– Quadramed – a vendor application which provides the searching
algorithms– PID - a “homegrown” application which assigns the patient’s
medical record number
What is Outpatient Schedulingand Registration?
• Schedules a patient with the right department and care provider in the desired time slot
• Captures registration information to prepare the clinician for seeing the patient
• Captures important insurance information to ensure that the services are successfully billed
• System: Epic
What is Admitting?• Captures information for patients admitted to the Hospital:
– Demographic information - who is this patient, where do they live?
– Insurance information – who will we bill for this Hospital visit?– Where is the patient located in the Hospital?
• Systems:– SMS ADT is currently in use– Keane ADT will replace SMS ADT in July, 2010
What is Bed Management?• Captures information for all patients currently admitted to the
Hospital:– Who is in each bed in the Hospital?
• Allows patients to be transferred to another clinical service or bed.• Provides a discharge function for when the patient leaves the
Hospital.• Provides a Hospital-wide view of current occupancy to plan for
incoming patients.
• System: EBB – a “homegrown” system
What is Document ImageCapture?
• Captures scanned documents:– For outpatients – picture ID, insurance card, referral form– For inpatients – pre-admission test information from other
providers– For other business functions, including HR, Accounts Payable,
and the Executive Offices.• Patient data is integrated with the EPR for access by clinicians
• System: Documentum AX. System is also known as WebX, EDMS, Legato, and OTG.
What is Hospital Billingand Coding?
• Produces bills for Hospital services for:– Insurance companies– Patients
• Tracks the Accounts Receivables for JHH• Processes payments from insurance and patients• Codes the services provided to using national standards – ICD-9,
DRG, CPT-4– For billing to insurance– For regulatory reporting
• Systems:– Keane is used for Hospital Billing– HDM is used for coding
What is the Self-service Kiosk?• Allows patients to:
– electronically check-in in a clinic upon arrival– review and change demographic information– review insurance information– scan insurance cards and referral forms– review and accept the outpatient agreement form
• System: Vecna
What is Denials and Appeals?• Tracks:
– Payor denials for payment– JHH appeals to payors in response to denials– Medicare audits to verify medical necessity for treatments
provided to patients
• System: Morrisey
What is the Executive Information System?
• Provides access to consolidated financial, administrative and clinical data for decision support.
• System: TSI
