CGI has expanded its electronic records information management system
(eRIMS) to serve healthcare organizations. eRIMS helps healthcare organizations
comply with HIPAA and other regulations, improve operating efficiencies,
respond to increasing document management requirements and reduce administrative
and supply chain costs.
The eRIMS solution combines CGI's healthcare industry expertise and
a proven technology to provide secure access to critical patient information,
improve patient registration processes, help reduce medical error rates,
facilitate inter-departmental communications, and meet payer authorization
requirements.
eRIMS features
eRIMS digitally captures patient documentation, charts,
lab results, referral information and billing and payment information
and provides secure 24x7 access to authorized personnel. This process
helps integrate information from disparate systems, eliminates physical
routing of charts and documents and minimizes redundancies. eRIMS coordinates
with HCFA, UB-92 and ERA forms to automate inpatient and outpatient coding
compliance. It also integrates the most up-to-date HIPAA regulations to
achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance.
CGI healthcare expertise
CGI's healthcare consulting professionals
provide expertise in regulatory compliance, clinical systems, reimbursement
and finance, operations and technology. Since 1990, the company has served
more than five hundred healthcare clients throughout the U.S. and Canada,
including hospitals, health systems, managed care organizations, private
insurance companies and governmental payers. CGI initially developed its
eRIMS technology solution to serve governmental clients in state and local
municipalities, courts and justice systems and health and human services,
and adapted it to meet growing document management needs in the healthcare
industry.
