Management and Finance
EATONTOWN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Artificial Medical Intelligence (AMI) today announced its newly enhanced
EMscribe Computer Assisted Coding (CAC) software, version 4.0. 

EMscribe software utilizes AMI`s patented Natural Language Processing Coding
technology to read patient records for appropriate ICD9-CM diagnostic, procedure
and CPT codes. It then pre-codes the records and presents them for coder review.
Manual coders enhanced with the results of EMscribe can easily approve or amend
the automatic results and increase efficiencies by as much as 80%. 

Version 4.0 incorporates new groundbreaking features such as Running DRG
Analysis, ChargeMaster Integration, Scanned Document Annotation with
Manipulation, Automated Supervisor Code Audit Flagging and Enhanced Hybrid
Medical Record Processing. 

By harnessing the power of Version 4.0`s extensive abstraction capability,
hospitals can now use EMscribe to better manage coder workflow while tapping
into extensive HIM and Finance reporting tools. Version 4.0 now offers a choice
of either MSSQL or MySQL databases so that hospital IT staff can have better
control over the valuable data derived through EMscribe`s language processing
technology. 

EMscribe can be customized for each hospital`s unique coding guidelines. With
EMscribe`s new Codeamatic feature, hospital coding departments can tune the
EMscribe engine to be in line with each hospital site`s special coding rules.
Codeamatic customization can be as subtle as tuning for dynamic acronyms that
staff physicians may dictate or as general as incorporating basic guidelines as
the suppression of a group or procedure. 

Real automation techniques in Version 4.0 now make it possible to process
without human intervention certain approved record types such as ancillary
radiology and lab records. This functionality significantly increases
productivity and eliminates many mundane coding tasks that bog down and delay
the hospital bill process. 

Version 4.0 is also ICD10 ready and is prepared for any future coding convention
mandates. "AMI`s main mission is to provide healthcare organizations with
flexible, adaptive, and comprehensive technology designed to support current and
future hospital workflows," said Stuart Covit, executive VP of AMI. "Our new
enhancements support this goal and our customers applaud us as they continue to
see dramatic improvements in efficiency and money saving advantages." EMscribe
was first commercially live at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in 2005
and now has significant market penetration.
