Healthcare

Healthcare institutions are a unique blend of business and patient care. Health e-Connect, NEPS suite of solutions for the healthcare industry, is designed to help hospitals and other healthcare operations make the best use of precious time and scarce funding in the delivery of excellence in patient care, through increased efficiency at patient touch points as well as through the enhancement of back office operations. In fact, all clinical, pharmaceutical, financial, diagnostic, admitting, discharge, outpatient, medical records and billing systems can benefit from a Health e-Connect implementation.

And even more importantly, Health e-Connect is a cost-effective, open systems, vendor-independent suite of offerings that can easily integrate with a wide range of existing systems, leveraging existing IT investments.

Photo Wristbands

Positive photo identification is one of the most effective ways to increase security, reduce errors and improve services in the healthcare environment. Picture Perfect, a module of the NEPS Health e-Connect family, adds a picture of the patient to the patient’s permanent record. For each hospital admission, a wristband can be produced featuring both a bar code tied to the patient’s data and a high quality digital photo that is produced in less than a minute. The photo can be placed instantly, as needed, on wristbands, ankle bands, charts and ID cards.

Picture Perfect is the perfect solution for sensitive mother/baby applications, allowing the mother’s photographic bar-coded wristband to be cross-checked against the baby’s bar-coded band and chart.

Secure Pharmacy Labels

Managing the distribution of pharmaceuticals throughout the healthcare delivery process in hospitals and other healthcare institutions can provide opportunity for errors in both administration of medications and cost accounting. In addition to ensuring the five pharmaceutical “rights”— the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, at the right time, with the right route of administration—Health e-Connect can ensure a closed loop process for pharmaceutical cost accounting within the healthcare institution.

Health e-Connect can be easily integrated with any pharmaceutical and hospital information system, using bar codes to track medications from inventory, through dispensing and administration, replacing error-prone manual data entry at all points along the pharmaceutical value chain.

Cart Fill Reporting

Once medications reach the hospital floor, their transfer to medication carts for delivery to patient bedsides can be a time-consuming operation, taking skilled health care professionals away from their direct patient care activities. With Health e-Connect, pharmaceutical deliveries are accompanied by an easy-to-read report that speeds the validation of medications received and the efficient filling of the cart in preparation for administration of medications to the patients who require them.

Patient Records and Reporting

From easy-to-read Medication Administration Reports (MAR) to instantaneous transmission of chart information to the patient’s permanent electronic medical record, to ensuring compliance with Federal and State regulations, Health e-Connect converts data to usable information through either real-time electronic transmission to hospital information systems or by incorporating information into a well-designed, easy to read, laser printed document that becomes part of the patient’s medical chart.

Busy health care professionals will appreciate the ease with which they can access and understand critical patient information on forms and documents produced by Health e-Connect; and the liberal use of bar-codes means less need for manual data entry and less chance for error during the healthcare delivery process.

Photo ID Cards and Badges

Security is an increasing concern in the health care industry. The Health e-Connect suite of solutions, including Picture Perfect, bring the highest level of control to all facets of patient care delivery. Photo images can be placed instantly on wristbands, ankle bands, charts, employee badges and ID cards. Because the image prints directly onto plastic cards and wristbands, the photo identification materials cannot be altered with a razor blade and replacement photo, providing added security against fraud.

Forms Management

Forms are a fact of life in the healthcare industry. But they don’t need to be a headache. Health e-Connect will allow you to manage all forms across the enterprise, eliminating redundancy, waste due to obsolescence and noncompliant forms. With Health e-Connect, you can also migrate appropriate forms from paper to electronic, reducing overall costs and improving efficiencies throughout the system.

Financial Management Solutions

Like any business, a healthcare institution has a need to procure materials, pay suppliers, issue payroll checks, manage accounting information, issue bills and statements and a myriad of other financial activities. With Net30, an affordable component of Health e-Connect, hospitals can produce any form or report, including Accounts Payable Checks, Payroll Checks, Invoices, Statements, Purchase Orders, W-2’s, 1099’s and more. It extracts data files, merges them with electronic images of the forms or reports, and prints everything on a laser printer. Blank paper or generic security stock can be utilized in place of more expensive preprinted forms and checks. As an alternative to printing, Net30 allows you to route formatted information via email, EDI, fax or to view it via the Web.
