Ingenious Med's IMBILLS - Web Edition(TM) Charge Capture Solution Aids Processing of Hospitalized Hurricane Victims; Enterprise Solution Supports Flexible Communications that Sustain Quality Health Care.

ATLANTA -- Ingenious Med, leaders in software for improving inpatient care quality and charge capture collection, announces helping Louisiana's largest hospital, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, with processing and treating victims from the recent hurricanes. The hospital's Hospital Medicine Service (HMS) group, which is responsible for admitting, discharging, and caring for patients in the hospital, uses Ingenious Med's IMBILLS - Web Edition(TM) charge capture software solution to more effectively bill and track patient care data. As the number of patients increased dramatically before, during, and after the hurricanes, HMS turned to Ingenious Med's IMBILLS for more efficient patient management.

"As the volume of patients increased, the hospitalist team and hospital administration planned to discharge any patients who could safely and reasonably be discharged in order to lower the patient load and make room for the onslaught of emergencies," said Dr. Richard Slataper, MD and head of Hospital Medicine Service. "I am extremely pleased with Ingenious Med's IMBILLS because it helped save so much time and kept many processes flowing."

"IMBILLS is the leading, critically acclaimed, ASP.net enterprise solution that allows physicians to capture and submit charges with PDAs, tablet PCs, and Internet-enabled PCs," said Dr. Steven Liu, MD and CEO of Ingenious Med. "Real-time, bedside data capture and coding significantly helped Dr. Slataper and his team improve billing accuracy and smooth workflow processes."

Ingenious Med's IMBILLS assisted physicians with the discharge process even though hospital computers and cell phones had crashed. IMBILLS allowed physicians to enter code status, location of patient, referring physician, name of primary care physician (PCP), assignment of professional fees, and comments on a checkout sheet. It enabled the hospitalists to keep track of the care provided to each patient when verbal checkout was not feasible. IMBILLS billing system allowed for communication between the hospitalists and doctors for scheduling and patient "hand-offs." The solution features rounding sheets, immediate charge submission, prescription printing, and discharge summaries that provide practice management groups with the aggregate data needed for robust analyses.
