Amerinet Inc., a leading national healthcare group purchasing organization, today introduced the Amerinet Alliance for Financial Efficiency. To meet today's challenging trends of increasing self-pay and uninsured patients, ever-changing regulatory requirements, competition and tightening margins, Amerinet has created an alliance of market-leading companies providing best-of-class revenue cycle and financial performance improvement solutions that support hospitals of all sizes, quickly, cost-effectively, strengthening financial performance.
"Joining with Craneware and Perot Systems to form the Amerinet Alliance for Financial Efficiency offers our members the most effective approach to end-to-end revenue cycle management and financial performance improvement," said Randy Walter, Amerinet executive vice president. "The Alliance will assist facilities in achieving a compelling increase in net cash, with less cost and more patient satisfaction."
"Aligning the industry's best solutions, each focused on their areas of expertise, creates a pivotal opportunity for hospitals at this time when optimized reimbursement, improved operational efficiency and compliance are most critical," said Craneware CEO Keith Neilson. "The Alliance lets Amerinet members more quickly, easily and cost-effectively achieve the financial health needed to best serve their communities. We applaud Amerinet for bringing its members great value, best practices and the power to work smarter instead of harder."
The Alliance's best-in-class software, services and support focus on specific areas encompassing: scheduling, pre-registration, patient access and estimates, charge capture, coding, utilization, collection, accounts receivable management and remittance processing. Supply management solutions include the industry's first and only pharmacy supply application that connects siloed pharmaceutical purchasing and billing information for improved charge capture, pricing and cost management.
"We are excited about our alliance with Amerinet and Craneware. With this alliance, we will be working with two top-notch organizations to help healthcare organizations reap the tangible financial benefits of end-to-end revenue cycle solutions. Perot Systems is focused on the vision of improving the delivery of healthcare, and this service is a critical element of that vision," stated Terry Armstrong, leader of Perot Systems revenue cycle solutions group.
