Hillsboro Advanced Surgical Care Extends Value of EMR with Connect IQ Secure Messaging
Kryptiq enables Medical Practice to Accelerate Revenue Cycle
Portland, Ore. – February 21, 2008 – Kryptiq, the leading provider of next generation healthcare connectivity solutions, today announced that Hillsboro Advanced Surgical Care (HASC) is utilizing Kryptiq’s Connect IQ™ to securely share patient health information from eClinicalWorks™.
“Connect IQ Secure Messaging gave us a noticeable return on investment within one week,” said Linda Anderson, Office Manager of Hillsboro Advanced Surgical Care. “eClinicalWorks is a fantastic platform for managing our clinical information and Kryptiq has allowed us to extend this value beyond the walls of our practice.”
For example, HASC has utilized Connect IQ Secure Messaging to send patient and billing information to Uptown Medical Billing, a medical billing outsource organization. Prior to implementing Connect IQ Secure Messaging, HASC printed packets of fee slips, insurance information and clinical data from eClinicalWorks and sent this information via a courier to Uptown Medical Billing. Connect IQ Secure Messaging now enables HASC to send this information electronically, allowing HASC to reduce its revenue cycle by nearly one week.
Electronic connectivity has also created benefits for Uptown Medical Billing. “The old paper processes for receiving billing information and related documentation used to create huge inconsistencies in our workload because all the information would show up midweek,” said Allison Drake, CEO of Uptown Medical Billing. “Now that the information can be sent electronically, we have seen our workload level out across the week, improving our organizational efficiency. We would suggest this product to anyone who needs to share medical information securely.”
“The lack of data mobility is at the heart of the cost and quality issues in American healthcare,” said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq Corporation. “Organizations around the country have recognized this and are transforming their practices with Connect IQ.”
