Legibility
of record
Handwritten
charts are notoriously difficult to read. On-screen or printed text
is often far more legible than handwriting.
Safer
data
New
users often fret over the potential for lost data due to system malfunctions.
With a well designed and tested backup scheme and disaster recovery
system, a computer-based record is much more reliable and less prone
to data loss than conventional paper-based records.
Patient
data confidentiality
Record
access can be restricted and monitored automatically; each user can
have specific levels of access to various data types. Audit logs can
be screened electronically to look for statistical abnormalities which
may signal unauthorized record accesses.
Flexible
data layout
Users
can have a separate data display and data entry screen, recall data
in any order (e.g., chronologically or in reverse chronological order),
and create disease or condition specific data review formats. Paper
records suffer from temporal constraints in the sense that data are
fixed in the exact sequence in which they were recorded.
Integration
with other information resources.
Once
in electronic form a patient's data can be linked to reference information
stored and maintained locally or, via the internet, on a computer half-way
around the world.
Incorporation
of electronic data
Physiologic
data can be captured automatically from bedside monitors, laboratory
analyzers, and imaging devices located throughout the healthcare enterprise.
Such data capture is free from the uncertainties and unreliabilities
of human data entry efforts.
Continuous
data processing
Provided
that data are structured and coded in an unambiguous fashion, programs
can continuously check and filter the data for errors, summarize and
interpret data, and issue alerts and/or reminders to clinicians following
the detection of potentially life-threatening events.
Assisted
search
In
a small fraction of the time required using a manual system, computers
can search free-text (or as Octo Barnett terms it "expensive text")
as well as structured data to find a specific data value or to determine
whether a particular item has ever been recorded. However, unstructured
text must be searched with care since clinicians use many different
words and phrases to express the same clinical concept.
Greater
range of data output modalities
Data
can be presented to users via computer-generated voice, two-way pagers,
or email, for example. In addition, instructions can be sent to external,
computer-controlled devices like automatic pill dispensers, or infusion
pumps which will then carry out the clinician's intended action. Patient-specific
alarms can flash lights, ring bells, or buzz buzzers. Finally, multiple
single plane images can be transformed back into a single 3-dimensional
image and superimposed on the surgeon's field of view.
Tailored
paper output
Data
can be printed using a variety of fonts, colors, and sizes to help focus
the clinician's attention on the most important data. In addition, images
can be combined with textual data to create a more complete "picture"
of the patient's condition.
Always
up to date
If
the electronic record is integrated, then all data is immediately available
to all practitioners regardless of their physical location as soon as
the data is entered into the computer. This eliminates the problems
associated with several physicians, each keeping a small portion of
a patient's medical record in their offices and transferring these paper-based
records back and forth as they consult.
Insurance Claims Processing
Insurance
Claims processing requires substantial Data Entry operation. We undertake
conversion of HCFA 1500 and UB 92 forms into database of your choice

Re-pricing
We
have developed capability to carry out re-pricing, and maintain a core
team who can process claims through the given re-pricing process based
upon the provider information database, CPT codes and other relevant
information for the Benefit administrator concerned. The process of
re-pricing involves comparing and validating a claim and allowing requisite
discount or adjustment in payment as per the specified norms.
Document Conversion
With the move towards paperless office, demand for content development
in various electronic format is on increasing.

state-of-the-art OCR technology. We have specially trained Text Editors
to clean-up the converted documents for any minor errors, in conversion
process. The converted documents are then worked upon to enhance its
utility.

literature, Journals, Reference Material, etc. are made ready for Document
processing by inserting XML/SGML tags in the document. We posses, in-depth
knowledge of tools like XmeTaL, Emacs, etc.
We
provide end-to-end solution to create complete Document repositories,
together with search engine.

catalogs, presentation material, etc can be delivered in Web-Ready form
using tools like FrontPage, Dream Weaver, Flash, Power Point, etc. We
can handle printed material, Pictures, Audio & Video files.
e-Help
Documentation
This
is a very specialized service.
We
design and create Microsoft HTML Help documentation that can be integrated
with your application program. We can offer What's this ? type of context
specific help document. We can generate stand alone Help documentation,
also.
If
you require cross platform WEB Based help document, the same can also
be created.
You
provide us functional documentation, from which we shall design complete

navigation, related topic references, etc.
Legal Document Coding
Legal
Document coding / indexing services are provided to Legal firms / attorneys
for enabling them to fast access / large volume database.
The
indexing is done for fast and accurate retrieving of documents at following
levels.
Bibilography,
coding indexes the documents title and date as well as the original
author, recipient and copyees of the document.
Names
in Text coding includes bibliographic coding and a review of the text
of the documents to capture personal and organizational names that appear
in the body of the document.
Keyword
coding uses a client-defined list of terms or keywords to create an
index of relevant issues mentioned in the title text of each documents.
Keyword coding can be combined with either bibliography coding or names
in text coding.
Image
receipt

of pages and documents processed and delivered and any other related
matter.
Quality
100%
quality checks are carried out to ensure error free output. Statistically
97% accuracy is guaranteed higher accuracy levels can be delivered based
upon project requirement and cost factors.
Security
and safety
The
entire coding network is isolated and secure. It is immune to any unauthorized
external access / hacking.
The
main server is equipped with high speed dual CPUs and failsafe redundancy
is ensured by RAID Level Five security. Over and above a hot standby
server with data replication and back up ensures additional redundancy.
Our
systems are therefore immune to any down time and data loss.
