A once in a century pandemic? Bill Gates, New Engeland Journal of Medicine
Healthcare will never be the same, the challenges we're facing today from #coronavirus pandemic might be a once in a century that will create a deep change in the industry that will last for a long time. We're seeing a surge increase in the demand for healthcare services, hospital beds, intensive care beds, and the rise of the social/political role in the healthcare. The pandemic has disrupted the supply chain of many critical personal protective equipment (PPE) which are essential to provide a safe environment for patients, clinical, and administrative healthcare professionals. At the centre of all of this, are the front-line fighters, the clinical teams, who are exposed to a higher risk while treating patients with the highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-COV-2).
In those stressful times, being a healthcare technology company, we are committed to bringing the best technology solutions to help hospital executives, clinical teams, and administrative teams in managing the current pandemic while preparing for the future to:
1- Exponentially improve the operational and financial performance of hospitals to meet the growing business and resource challenges in the pandemic state and beyond.
2- Apply social distancing whenever possible using remote work solutions, telehealth and smart physician assistants using evidence-base to guide this new model of care.
3- Minimize the risk on the non-critical staff including hospital administrative and support teams to save the resources to care for who really need them.
To play our part, we have been working 24/7 in the last 60 days to rapidly accelerate our hospital-focused value-based healthcare solutions powered by artificial intelligence, data science, and robotic process automation. Today, we are releasing:
1- AiClaim, artificial intelligence-powered medical claim management which has been updated to support remote work to minimize the occupational risk of exposure to medical billing and revenue cycle management team.
2- AiCode, an automated medical coding system for medical records. This takes the medical coding to the next level with updated capabilities for remote work to minimize the occupational risk of exposure to the medical coders.
3- AiGuide, intelligent medical order-set backed with evidence. In addition to +100 of diseases, we have updated the medical practice guidelines with the latest COVID-19 updates from the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Center of Disease Control (CDC) and the European Center of Disease Control (ECDC) among others.
Those solutions are supporting you to exponentially improving performance while maintaining social distancing and remote work and delivering a better revenue cycle.
