We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of our Enhancements for all HybridChart EVOLVE users! This is a game-changer, designed to streamline your workflows, improve data accuracy, and save your practice valuable time.

Tackling Your Workflow Challenges

We understand that even with efficient processes, certain daily tasks can consume more time than you’d like. Common challenges include:

• Manual patient entry and tracking: Precious moments that could be spent on patient care are often dedicated to tedious data input.
• Charge processing lag and administrative errors: Correcting errors during registration adds unnecessary touch points for your office staff and billing team.
• Limited report data: While powerful, existing report formats might not always provide the specific insights needed to identify deficiencies and growth opportunities.

Our new enhancements are designed to tackle these pain points head-on. By adding automation, we can drastically reduce administrative tasks, giving you more time for what truly matters.  

Featured Enhancements

Many of you may already be experiencing the benefits of enhancements like Virtual Billers and the Active Census Manager, which are free with your EVOLVE or ALTITUDE plan. For premium enhancements, the minimal cost offers a significant return in time savings.

Let’s dive into some of the powerful enhancements now available:

• Complimentary EHR Connections: These are among our most efficient enhancements, significantly reducing manual entry time. We have partnerships with many leading EHR systems, and utilizing this connectivity can reduce the time it takes to drop claims to a single day in most scenarios.
• Virtual Billers: Standard with every EVOLVE instance, this automates the movement of captured charges through HybridChart and into your EHR, minimizing touchpoints before charges are sent to your billing software.
• Dialysis Package: Automates monthly billing for in-center, home, and peritoneal dialysis, converting month-end work into an automated overnight process. It includes session tracking, diagnosis handling, and a checks-and-balances preview per provider/patient.
• Recurring Upload Feature: Automates patient census and charge data uploads, reducing manual work and errors. Clients report a 30% reduction in time spent on data imports!
• MIPS Package: Automates code prompts for physicians based on CMS guidelines using patient criteria like age, diagnoses, and CPT codes. It allows customization of reporting parameters and ensures seamless, accurate data capture. Clients report a 25% reduction in administrative time, improved accuracy, and better reimbursement outcomes!

Deep Dive: ADT Feeds and Auto Link

Today, we’re highlighting two particularly impactful enhancements: ADT Feeds and Auto Link.

ADT Feeds: Real-Time Patient Information at Your Fingertips

ADT Feeds are one of the most powerful enhancements for your workflow. They provide real-time patient demographics and insurance information directly to your HybridChart census, eliminating the need to refer back to your EMR. Your daily rounding lists are always current, and patient movements within the facility are automatically tracked.

With an active ADT feed, you can:

• Search for and add patients using the external data method.
• Automate patient addition and tracking with the Active Census Placement enhancement.
• View patient demographics and insurance directly from the data tab.

The result? Your support staff can save up to an hour each day by no longer needing to manually enter and update patient lists, ensuring you never miss a patient who needs your care.

Auto Link: Seamless EHR Integration for Billing Efficiency

Auto Link complements your ADT feed by automatically linking patient charts in your EHR. This enhancement offers three versions, each adding a deeper layer of connectivity and data transfer to your billing software:

• Auto Link: Automatically searches your EHR for an existing patient chart and links them in HybridChart.
• Auto Link Plus: Performs the same search, and if no chart is found, it creates a new one using data from the patient admission. Any demographics or face sheets will also pass through during chart creation.
• Auto Link Max: Includes all Auto Link functionalities and sends pre-populated insurance fields with data supplied by ADT feeds from the facility. This is the most robust and fully automated version, requiring a live ADT feed.

The benefits? Auto Link drastically reduces the time your RCM team spends on patient registration and charge processing, potentially cutting your patient chart creation time in half. It addresses common patient chart issues, boosts overall workflow efficiency, and minimizes administrative errors.
