Transcript Suggested EMR Evaluation Methodology

INTERFACED OR INTEGRATED?
 Determining an EMR Vendors ability to accommodate the CAH/RHC
environment:
 Can integrate in such a fashion that the Clinician can order a “CAH Lab test” from
the RHC receive the results back to the RHC, as well as generate the Hospital
Encounter in which the Lab Test will be billed electronically on “UB04 or
Institutional” format?
 Is the system capable of allowing the RHC to bill the draw fee as a venipuncture on a
HCFA 5010 837-Professional format, and auto populate the hospital encounter in
which the Lab test would be billed on a UB04 5010 837-Institutional format?
