e-business manager module.

Designed for collection specialists, this module allows your specialists to access and enter all information on-line.

You can optimize your collection ratio with one easy-to-use collection screen. This collector review screen is a worksheet for contacting accounts and updating activity. Each account automatically queues for review and requires the collection specialist to enter an action code before reviewing the next account. Client-defined criteria determine the assignment of accounts and collection policies.

The e-Business Manager module's on-line feature ensures that accounts are never missed for review, and the paperless system eliminates the frustration of lost notes. Statistical reports help you make important decisions on staff performance, requirements, and the effectiveness of your collection techniques. And, by managing collection accounts in-house, you increase revenue by eliminating the cost of large collection agency commissions.

Highlights of the e-Business Manager module include automatic assignment of accounts based on client-defined criteria; assigned collection specialist numbers are displayed in frequently used account screens; total balance of bad debt and collection agency are displayed on the collection screen; ability to track contact codes by creating billing messages when code is entered; ability to enter recall code and date in the collection screen; and, automatic assignment of accounts to small or large balance categories.

Chart Management manages the who, what, where, of your paper charts. The suite features an efficient bar-code solution to ensure files are accounted for, accessible for the provider, and provides protection and preparedness for audits

 With Exterior’s Chart Tracking modules, lost charts and films are virtually eliminated. Chart Tracking displays information on the date, time, operator, and current location of the chart, and allows staff to access the exact chart location instantly.

Chart Tracking greatly enhances the productivity and efficiency of the Medical Records file room, and all areas of clinic operations benefit from the end of potentially disruptive chart searches. Chart Tracking improves quality assurance and patient care by ensuring that the chart is readily available at any given time.

Because satellite and ancillary facilities have become so common in health care, today’s physicians often need to manage multiple charts for their patients. The Multiple Patient Chart module identifies and tracks multiple chart records for each patient.

With the Multiple Patient Chart module, your staff can match the right chart to the right patient visit instantly. The majority of patient visits require no intervention since the home location is where most of the visits occur. However, when the patient visits an ancillary location, the chart selection process is quick and easy.
