Enterprise Enabler synchronizes and automates entry of patient data across multiple systems, improving accuracy and freeing up ½ FTE of staff time.
"As data moves through different systems, we are now certain that it will maintain its original integrity. This gives researchers the confidence to use multiple points of reference when doing scientific research."
- Leonard H. Goldberg, M.D., F.R.C.P., world-renowned dermatologic surgeon at DermSurgery Associates.
"Stone Bond has made our life much easier so we can give more attention to our patients."
- Linda Taibel, DermSurgery’s head of administration. |
Challenge: The doctors and administrators of DermSurgery Laser Center, a Houston-based private practice specializing in Mohs, dermatologic and cosmetic surgeries, were manually entering patient data into four separate applications. Each system required a different method for assigning patient identities and there was little, if any, communication between the structures.
Stone Bond’s Solution: For DermSurgery, Enterprise Enabler synchronized and automated the entry and processing of patient data across four different information systems. These included CMEDS for scheduling, electronic claims, insurance filing, billing and end-of-month reporting; NexGen, the HIPPA-regulated database that tracks surgical patients; and two scientific databases that track all surgical information.
Benefits: Using Enterprise Enabler integration technology to automate and synchronize data entry across all four systems DermSurgery eliminated four hours per day in data entry. This equates to saving 20 hours per week, or half a work year, each year, on data entry. Saving this much time equated to a quick recoup of the initial investment spend to purchase EE. Additionally, formatting the system to accept each patient’s information and share it across the four systems helped eliminate data entry errors, providing faster processing and improved data integrity.
