"We expect that by the end of this summer we'll reduce our printing costs by 96 percent (for every report we add to REVEAL). Along with printing and paper costs, we will continue to whittle operator time required for bursting the report for specific users, as well as for mailing preparation and expense."
Steve Haworth, Premier Health Partners "It is hard to believe we ever got along without REVEAL. I can't imagine why every managed care enterprise doesn't use REVEAL. Every day they delay costs them more than they realize." Mike Hastings, Independent Health Association "For a multiple-hospital system with a WAN (wide area network) configuration such as ours, a web-based solution requires less hardware and bandwidth, which translates to a 25 percent savings in equipment and expedited time to value. We wanted to avoid potential client/server limitations with regard to document storage capacity and the system's ability to provide users with fast responses given our anticipated volume of inquiries." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "By software pricing standards, it was very cost effective to get into REVEAL." Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare "REVEAL allows Premier to store documents electronically in a report warehouse for
easy, protected access - a feature that supports HIPAA compliance requirements for secure, long-term storage of patient information."
Paul Jones, Premier Health Partners "This automated system also eliminates the possibility of getting the wrong information to users. REVEAL's pinpoint distribution feature provides only authorized users easy, electronic access to specific report information, down to pages and even columns." Steve Haworth, Premier Health Partners "I'm confident that as we prepare to meet HIPAA regulations, REVEAL will help us with security, disaster recovery, and archive requirements." Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare "Since HIPAA is going to be such an enormous challenge for us, we have to make sure that the enterprise reporting solution we use allows us to be absolutely sure that the person we send reports to is the person we think it is, and that they are seeing only the things they are allowed to see." Dave Rogers, Independent Health Association "Pinpoint security allows me to access a large report with thousands of pages and yet see only the five pages that pertain to my duties. Now that's secure." Mike Hastings, Independent Health Association "Why REVEAL? It was simple. The technology was right, it could be implemented fast, and it could be extended anywhere. We had to meet existing service levels with new products in a hurry."
"We were up and running within a week of initiating our implementation. All of our senior and executive management with varying levels of computer experience quickly adopted REVEAL. A 10-minute conference call, a user ID and personal password were all it took to train our top management." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "It also has streamlined our operation by reducing printing costs and paper-based reports, and expediting distribution. In addition to resolving reporting, data storage, and retention deficiencies, REVEAL continues to meet our users' needs for ease of use. In a short time, users become comfortable with the tool."
Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare Individual hospital executives and corporate managers use REVEAL to access the information they need to manage the business, including particular reports for each facility. Each hospital CFO conducts a monthly operational review of each component of their business. "By providing immediate access to information, REVEAL helps us maintain a high level of customer service to our executives inexpensively." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "REVEAL has helped us cope with a growing workload by improving our productivity throughout the many parts of our organization. For instance, radiological tests are performed for a non-MedCentral facility and some physicians' offices. The results are posted in REVEAL as soon as they are available during the day, where clinicians and physicians can access them remotely at any time through password protected REVEAL security." Jack Barrett, MedCentral Health System "We can deliver a 65,000-page report in 35 minutes versus almost the eight hours it takes to print at 140 pages per minute. We no longer have to deliver a 10,000-page report to one of our network hospitals in two boxes that must then still be sorted through manually for the sections that various individuals are supposed to receive. Now each recipient can access their own customized reports on line and view them whenever and wherever they want to. And there's a bonus to this arrangement. The secure, Web-based viewer delivers reports through our enterprise portal, minimizing the involvement of network and computer resources for accessing and displaying reports. The arrangement provides excellent viewing response time, even with dial-up access." Dave Rogers, Independent Health Association "Actually it only took about 10 minutes for people to figure it out. And feedback was very positive about how fast and easy it was to find information."
"Some of our executives were reticent going into some of the core applications because that required knowing menus and executing a sequence of commands to get a particular report. They don't have to do that with REVEAL. They go into a web browser, click on one button, and there are their reports. It's almost shocking to me to see how much more they are now able to do." "One hospital CEO downloaded a report from REVEAL, using the extract function and then created a new sort of the data giving him exactly what he needed. That's a real testimonial to just how user friendly REVEAL is." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "REVEAL also has streamlined our operation by reducing printing costs and paper-based reports, and expediting distribution. In addition to resolving reporting, data storage, and retention deficiencies, REVEAL continues to meet our users' needs for ease of use. In a short time, users become comfortable with the tool."
Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare "The biggest thing for me is usage. I got executive management in each of the facilities using REVEAL. Most of them would never have gone into a transaction system to pull up a report. It's just too complicated." "Positive feedback comes down to the fact that IASIS' 500 users continue to request that more and more reports be delivered through REVEAL. We were pleasantly surprised by the rapid rate at which REVEAL was adopted by users at all levels - no cumbersome transaction system to deal with, and information is just a click away." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "The software also meets our IT department's need for easy integration with multiple applications, including McKesson/HBOC's STAR and other applications, GEAC Smartstream, Kronos, Cerner, and more."
Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare "One critical need was for a centralized method to store, distribute and archive hundreds of reports for the different facilities. REVEAL proved the perfect solution." "From day one REVEAL didn't care what the application was. And the fact that all users have to do to access a report is point and click using their web browsers has dramatically changed the ways IASIS managers and executives use those reports." Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "Fast access translates into productivity, especially important for busy executives. Instead of poring through volumes of financial statements for a few numbers, users can quickly pull up the information online."
Sammy Cantrell, IASIS HealthcareŽ "REVEAL has already boosted our productivity, currently providing report recipients with the information they need about daily billing activity. We will continue to enhance our already improved workflow efficiency and savings as we extend the deployment of REVEAL across all 110 departments at Miami Valley and throughout our other healthcare partners." Paul Jones, Premier Health Partners "It's so much easier for them to find the information they need online and it's more accurate and timely information." Mike Hastings, Independent Health Association "The annual savings in microfiche to store reports was a compelling business case that will actually double our savings this year as our business doubles. However, we reap additional benefits, like personal productivity. Instead of poring through microfiche to look for specific reports and information, we have immediate online access to the data. That means what previously could take up to an hour now takes seconds with REVEAL." Don Muilenburg, CareSource REVEAL has helped MedCentral improve service to organizations that support its medical staff while reducing service costs. "We're helping radiologist and pathologist billing services expedite their billing process with 24x7 access to specific information from REVEAL through reports." Using dial-back modems to access the reports, the services download the information into their local software and issue bills without re-keying information or custom billing software. Before this REVEAL-driven process, a courier would travel the 25-30 miles only one to two times each week, delaying billing.
Jack Barrett, MedCentral Health System "REVEAL has raised the level of service we're able to provide our users. Without it, they wouldn't be getting the service they've now come to expect when it comes to reports." Carl Sifers, St Luke's Shawnee Mission Healthcare |
