One of the biggest benefits of an OnBase for Meditech solution is the ability to view and manage patient data stored outside of Meditech from directly within your Meditech HIM application.
By allowing your providers to have access to all of a patient's information in one familiar interface, you give them the tools they need to provide their patients with the best possible care.
For example:
-
When registering a patient in the emergency room, a hospital worker can quickly scan and archive the patient's insurance card and driver's license so they are associated with the patient's Meditech record.
Any other hospital worker with the appropriate Meditech rights will be able to view these documents from a Meditech client workstation.
-
Clinical documents (e.g., EKGs, X-Rays, MRIs, fetal monitor strips, etc.) containing data that is not stored in Meditech can be retrieved and viewed from the patient's Meditech record.
For example, when conferring with a patient, an orthopedist can retrieve and view DICOM images, such as X-Rays and MRIs, stored in OnBase from a patient's Meditech record.
-
Providers can use DeficiencyPop to launch OnBase Medical Records Management directly from Meditech to quickly and efficiently complete their chart deficiencies.
Note:This requires your organization to use the OnBase Medical Records Management solution. Additional licensing and configuration is required.
-
OnBase for Meditech supports several integrated authentication methods that allow users to seamlessly access documents stored in OnBase from Meditech. Users are not required to launch or log on to OnBase; in most cases, users will not even be aware that they are not operating within the Meditech application.
Note:Not all integrated authentication methods supported for OnBase are available from all Meditech modules or screens. Careful consideration should be given before selecting an authentication method for your organization. An in-depth discussion of authentication options is provided later in this documentation.
-
When scanning non-clinical patient documents (e.g., billing statements and patient correspondence) in OnBase, these documents can be automatically indexed using patient data stored in Meditech.
