DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
eGistics, Inc., today announced that Consultants in Radiology, P.A. (CIRPA), a
Texas-based radiology practice led by 14 board-certified physicians, has
deployed eGistics` Digital Medical Practice (DMP) solution. The hosted eGistics
solution will help CIRPA improve operating efficiency, accelerate document
research, and streamline secondary billing.
CIRPA offers advanced imaging technology through two clinics and 40 telerad
locations, as well as radiology services through two Texas Health Resources
facilities. Its radiologists also provide interpretation services for the
imaging centers, and for the hospital units themselves.
CIRPA is deploying the eGistics DMP solution to all of its practice facilities
and to the offices of all of its radiology interpretation partners. Using
Scan-to-Web technology, DMP converts paperwork to digital images that can be
used across the practice, from reception to billing. CIRPA is scanning and
archiving a wide range of documents related to care delivery, accounts
receivables, accounts payable, equipment management, facilities accreditation,
physician/technician accreditation, human resources, and state and federal
government compliance. The eGistics hosted solution makes document images
immediately available for research and for assisting with documentation for
secondary billing.
"Moving administrative paperwork across a physicians practice is inefficient,
and typically requires staff to waste a lot of time handling, filing and
retrieving documents," said CIRPA Administrator Rebecca Greenwood. "With the
eGistics DMP solution, we can quickly scan patient and practice documents and
electronically have them at our fingertips when we need them, from any PC."
Built on the eGistics hosted document management platform, DMP enables physician
practices to digitize much of their office paperwork, streamline administrative
operations, and reduce the costs associated with managing and distributing
physical documents. By placing all administrative documents online, practice
staff do not waste time trying to locate documents or correspondence, in turn,
reducing the time to resolve denied or underpaid claims. In addition, the
solution facilitates regulatory compliance by electronically managing
credentialing documents. And it ensures disaster recovery and business
continuity by storing information online and making it accessible via the Web.
With DMP, practice groups can also set document-specific expiration dates, such
as when contracts need to be renewed. And, because eGistics DMP solution is
built on the company's hosted platform, it requires no capital investment and
offers a variable expense, "pay-as-you-go" pricing model.
"Despite all the hype about personal health records and other initiatives to
electronify document management in the healthcare space, the industry still
faces a daunting combination of paper-based processes, fragmented systems and
processes, and little optimization across organizations," said eGistics
Executive Vice President of Sales and Corporate Development R. Edwin Pearce.
"eGistics is delivering solutions such as DMP to bridge information silos and
optimize the management, storage and delivery of information that healthcare
organizations need across the enterprise."
