BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure Health Information Exchange and workflow management services, today announced that U.S. Home Health Care, Inc., a Chicago based provider of home healthcare services and medical equipment, implemented Authentidate's Inscrybe(TM) Healthcare web-based service to streamline healthcare referral orders, other exchanges and workflows.
"We want to reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to complete care orders for our staff and our referring physicians. We selected Inscrybe because of its proven ability to standardize and automate what is typically a complex manual, administrative process," said Maria Thanugundla, General Manager at U.S. Home Health Care. "Set-up and orientation was so fast and easy that we were able to process our first care orders within minutes of the training."
Inscrybe Healthcare facilitates information exchange with referring physicians for all types of healthcare transactions and care documents required for the authorization of medical equipment and patient care. The web-based service automates manual workflow processes and efficiently tracks the status of those communications, reducing the approval cycle time with referring physicians. The streamlined workflows improve the efficiency of clinical and administrative processes, reducing costs while reinforcing best practices.
Physicians decide whether to review and sign documentation electronically on the secure Inscrybe website or receive and send documents by facsimile. This flexibility enhances communications between referring physicians and providers because each can do business the way they prefer. Electronic or fax replies are linked to the initial request and updated on all systems automatically. As a web-based platform, Inscrybe is inherently scalable and easy to implement, providing for business expansion at minimal cost.
"Inscrybe is designed to make communicating with referring physicians easier through flexible delivery options and intuitive business rules. U.S. Home Health Care started enjoying these benefits on the first day they began using Inscrybe," said Marcus Wagstaff, National Sales Director at Authentidate.
