MediMobile Weekly Rounds – February 24, 2014

MediMobile Weekly Rounds is a look at what has happened in the past week at MediMobile, from new user preferences to company news. We want to make sure that our customers are in the loop about changes and improvements we have made to our Charge Capture solution.

Last week we launched a brand-new feature for the MediMobile Charge Capture Solution, the Patient Handoff tool. This new piece of our Transitional Care Suite helps simplify care coordination and streamlines the workflow for doctors. We’ve also added some additional features to keep patient transfers manageable.

MediMobile’s Patient Handoff Tool

The ability to share details about a patient’s care and treatment is essential to ensuring the quality of care. The Patient Handoff tool is intended to guarantee care coordination and simplify transitional care. From the patient action menu, providers can move a patient from their list to another provider’s list. Doctors can also attach notes about a patient’s disposition as well as information about the diagnosis and treatment.

Patient search results include an indicator to highlight when there are handoff notes. They will be to the right of the patient name. When you see a patient record, an “f” indicates that there is a facesheet, an ‘n’ indicates notes, and an ‘h’ indicates handoff notes.

Patient handoff notes are recreated each time the patient is moved. Old notes are archived at the bottom of the patient record. This means providers can easily access old handoff notes for relevant, recent history.

New MediMobile Features

We’ve added some color-coding features that will help simplify the process of tracking patient transfers for providers.

When someone else adds a patient to a provider’s list, the patient’s name will be blue. Also, when another provider has billed a patient for today’s date of service, the $ next to the patient’s name will be blue, rather than green. This helps prevent duplicate billing and is particularly important with the release of the Patient Handoff tool.

The final new addition is that for provider’s with a data feed, the admit time is included in the patient details. For groups without the feed, the admit time defaults to 12AM.

These updates are already available on the MediMobile web portal, and will be released for mobile devices in the next couple of weeks.

If you have any questions about these new features you can contact our support team at support@medimobile.com or call 877.495.2070.
