Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Goes Live with Dolbey`s Fusion CAC Computer-Assisted Coding Solution

Automatically Scans and Codes Patient Records; Automatically Abstracts Patient
Data and Demographics
CONCORD, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Dolbey announced that Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, part of the Saint
Barnabas Health Care System, has gone live with its Fusion CAC computer-assisted
coding (CAC) solution to increase the efficiency of its outpatient records and
automate data abstraction for streamlined billing and coding. Shortly, the
hospital will go live with Fusion CAC for its inpatient records.

Fusion CAC is a comprehensive CAC technology that scans the entire patient
record for appropriate ICD9-CM diagnostic and procedure codes and CPT codes
using innovative language processing technology. Its patent-pending algorithmic
software electronically analyzes entire medical charts to pre-code with both CPT
procedure and ICD9 diagnostic nomenclatures. Manual coders, enhanced with the
results of Fusion CAC can easily approve or amend the automatic results and
increase efficiencies by as much as 80%.

Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is using the Fusion CAC system to replace its
manual coding and abstraction process which requires staff to physically
retrieve medical documents and enter code information into the system
redundantly.

The hospital is already seeing the system significantly improving the efficiency
and consistency of human coders. Newark Beth Israel expects to see a reduction
in the amount of time between when a patient is discharged and when billing is
complete-also known as the discharged not final billed (DNFB). "The rollout of
Fusion CAC was an exceptionally seamless and smooth experience," said Tom
Gregorio, vice president and CIO at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. "The end
user coders embraced the technology and were up and running quickly. We went
live on schedule and the Fusion CAC technology easily integrated into the rest
of our hospital systems. In today`s economy, being able to expedite the coding
process and make the billing process as streamlined as possible contributes real
savings to our hospital`s bottom line. Fusion CAC is helping us do more with
less while allowing us to deliver a cleaner bill with consistent coding
standards across the organization."

"Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is an excellent example of an innovative
hospital that is combating the growing cost of healthcare reimbursement by
decreasing its claims denials, improving data accuracy, and enhancing records
management to facilitate compliance," said Stuart Covit, executive vice
president of Artificial Medical Intelligence.
