St. Joseph Health (SJH) System in Texas, US, has selected GroupOne Health Source to provide electronic health record (EHR) medical billing services for its healthcare providers.
The 600-bed hospital will bring into line its providers’ billing procedures with a revenue cycle management firm that is accomplished with the eClinicalWorks EHR platform and modern EHR systems in general.
St. Joseph revenue management director Sam Fulton said GroupOne will help streamline the hospital’s billing procedures and improve its bottom line.
"Not only does GroupOne have experience in eClinicalWorks and EHR implementations, but we also researched their credentials as a multispecialty medical billing partner in a variety of practice settings," Fulton added.
"Their EHR revenue cycle management experience proved to be an attractive solution for our needs."
GroupOne is believed to have an advantage when managing the billing operations of a complex, multispecialty health network that uses a modern electronic health record system.
The eClinicalWorks and EHR revenue cycle management professionals assist with maximising medical billing collections.
Important knowledge can also be offered to GroupOne clients concerning EHR workflow best practices, besides detailed, customised analytics reporting.
GroupOne president and co-founder Dianne Swanson said: "Given the multitude of recent changes and the rapidly increasing complexities of the industry, the difficulty of balancing high-quality patient care with the business side of medicine is not an easy task for contemporary medical practices."
