Solutions for Hospitals

Hospitals are prominent institutions in the communities they serve, and are uniquely positioned to capture a disproportionate share of referrals from community physician practices. Accenx™ can help you capitalize on this opportunity by delivering innovative services that reinforce your brand and leadership role in the community, while also providing better service, and a wider variety of services, to community physicians and patients than your competitors.

Increase referrals through physician outreach. Accenx can help you provide better service to physician practices, and a wider variety of services, by implementing a private health information exchange that creates competitive advantage. We can help you become the easiest facility to do business with in the markets you serve by quickly and easily integrating any type of patient information directly into community physician’s electronic medical record (EMR) application. And for practices without an EMR, Accenx also provides an online web application for orders and results so you can deliver top-tier service to those practices as well.

Create a community health information exchange. There is universal agreement that sharing clinical information about a patient across the continuum of care improves quality, increases efficiency, and enhances patient satisfaction. The Accenx service delivery model and subscription pricing make it practical for an individual hospital to take ownership and lead the implementation of a health information exchange solution for an entire community. This approach can effectively bypass the cost and organizational hurdles that have so far stymied the progress of regional health information organizations (RHIO's) and similar efforts.

Support strategic business initiatives. Healthcare is an enormously competitive market, and Accenx provides you with an information infrastructure that keeps up with the pace of change, rather than being a barrier. Whether you’re looking to extend the geographic reach of your hospital service area by offering more services to physicians at a greater distance, creating high-value relationships with new business partners based upon information exchange, or quickly integrating newly acquired practices or service lines, the Accenx architecture and service delivery model means you can keep up.

Reduce the risk and complexity of Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI) implementations. One of the most intractable challenges to sharing patient information between software applications, facilities, or a hospital and community physician practice is the unique identification of each individual patient. And while EMPI applications are available that solve this problem, they are complex, costly, and risky to install and operate. Accenx provides two compelling solutions to this problem, first by embedding Initiate Systems EMPI in the Accenx Exchange service delivery platform; and second, by providing fully-managed implementation and remote hosting of EMPI applications from a number of leading vendors.

Integration consulting services. Unprecedented levels of investment in new healthcare information systems means your integration infrastructure is not only mission-critical, it’s a strategic asset underlying all of your other information technology initiatives. Accenx has the largest dedicated team of integration professionals in the industry – experts with virtually every healthcare integration technology on the market. Typical types of projects include strategic architecture reviews, system upgrades and migration, and augmenting your own interface team during the implementations of new applications.
