Support healthcare compliance across and beyond your organisation
Regulatory compliance governs practically every facet of the healthcare organisation’s operation – from daily to-dos to long-term strategic vision. From HIPAA to Meaningful Use and beyond, a well-designed and well-implemented enterprise content management (ECM) platform supports your regulatory initiatives. Partnering with an ECM provider with a demonstrated focus on healthcare helps drive those initiatives from a state of mere compliance to a point of true value.
Hyland Software’s solutions for healthcare, built with OnBase ECM technology, provide you with the technology you need to fill in the gaps in your compliance efforts. ECM inherently helps lend structure and meaning to content and documentation normally outside the domain of primary HIT applications and processes. As a result, compliance becomes more than a checklist of concerns and rules. It becomes a pathway to superior care and service. Among those efforts that OnBase supports and augments are:
HIPAA – OnBase stores content in a secure repository, providing access only to those with the appropriate permissions. Electronic audit trails provide complete visibility as to who viewed and acted upon specific content.
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) – While HIPAA handles patient-related information, SOX applies to the financial side of the spectrum. Similarly, OnBase provides security and audit trails that enhance security while supporting financial accountability.
Health Information Exchanges (HIE) – Any data and content that resides within the OnBase repository can flow seamlessly to a connected HIE or web portal.
Legal Health Record (LHR) – OnBase provides you with the tools to maintain a complete, sustainable LHR. Additionally, records management and retention let you easily manage and purge records in accordance with governmental policies.
Joint Commission – Joint Commission’s accreditation standards stipulates timely, easy access to complete information throughout the healthcare enterprise – whether that information exists in paper-based, electronic or hybrid systems. Because it can capture content in practically any format and integrate with almost any system, OnBase helps you deliver on that promise.
Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs) – As ACOs rise in prominence, healthcare organisations will need to ensure the free flow of clinical results and financial data within and beyond a specific organisation. OnBase unites staff, facilities, departments and core applications, so needed content reaches the people who need it.
Recovery Audit Contractor program (RAC) – Hyland Software’s Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) solutions offers audit compliance functionality that helps you manage every facet of the audit process, including the automatic calculation of requests, follow-up and appeals deadlines, alleviating the opportunity for human error.
Support Meaningful Use
Meeting and maintaining compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) standards for meaningful EHR use remains and ongoing priority. Although the requirements align with EHR functionality, ECM can play a vital role with respect to your meaningful use initiatives.
OnBase is certified as an EHR module, passing criteria for both acute and ambulatory settings. Among these are named access control, emergency access, automatic log-off, audit log, integrity, authentication, general encryption, and encryption when exchanging electronic health information. Additionally, OnBase passed two inpatient-specific criteria: electronic copy of discharge instructions and advance directives.
Built Hyland Software’s 20-year commitment to healthcare, OnBase keeps your Meaningful Use plans on track.
