The Fremont-Rideout Health Group, a not-for-profit health system in California, is revamping its revenue collection process.
FRHG will begin deploying Revenue Cycle and Quantim Health Information Management solutions from Reston, Va.-based QuadraMed this month.
Officials, who plan to go live with the new software in July 2010, say the technology will replace existing applications from Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions and 3M Health Care.
"We determined that QuadraMed was the only vendor offering a scalable, integrated revenue cycle package that met our needs and requirements of our patient access, health information management and patient accounting departments," said Tarun K. Ghosh, CIO at FRHG.
"QuadraMed's robust, high-performance revenue cycle and health information management systems provide us with the tools to effectively address reimbursement challenges while supporting our growing investment in electronic medical records. Together, these solutions help enable us to deliver an even higher level of patient- and community-centered care while achieving strong financial performance," Ghosh said.
Ghosh said FRHG chose QuadraMed because its solutions feature a built-in encoder. "The built-in encoder spares us from having to buy, support and interface a separate application, which would have been the case had we selected another vendor," he said.
