MEDITECH
Behavioral Health Information
System
product
brief
MEDITECH's Behavioral Health Information System helps organizations manage both the quality and cost of care provided to behavioral health clients. This fully-integrated client-focused system provides a continuum of mental health care, ranging from emergency crisis intervention, acute and long-term care hospitalization, short-term episodic outpatient treatment services, and longer-term rehabilitative outpatient mental health services.
The system integrates information across administrative, financial, and clinical departments, helping organizations function more effectively. Client information is always accurate and up-to-date, and administrators have immediate access to the clinical and financial statistics they need.
Behavioral health agencies are able to work cohesively with acute care hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and home health agencies in their health care network. All providers throughout the organization can access a client's psychiatric and medical condition when care is required. Staff can view all care that a client receives in an on-line medical record. Security and confidentiality features enable organizations to set access parameters to client data for each user within the organization.

Administrative Suite
Standard Features
Registration and Medical
Records
Our
Registration and Medical Records software collects and updates
demographic information, family contact data, insurance coverage,
diagnostic Axis codes, and leave-of-absence/hold days. The
assignment of rooms and beds is handled electronically,
eliminating errors. Direct enrollment into outpatient programs
and services is available along with corresponding attendance
statistics. All ORYX-required data elements are included.
Case Mix/Abstracting
MEDITECH’s
Case Mix Management application collects and reports various
patient information, such as Peer Review Organization (PRO) data,
as well as data for state and federal reporting requirements.
Abstracting features include on-line coding of inpatients and
outpatients using ICD-9 and DSM-IV diagnosis codes. Organizations
can electronically submit state abstract files as well as
performance and outcome measurements (NASMHPD).
Billing/Accounts
Receivable
MEDITECH's
Behavioral Health System efficiently handles all aspects of
billing/accounts receivable, and all billing information can be
changed retroactively. The system allows for tracking of interim
bills, collecting amounts on-line, and printing of statements.
Claims are generated electronically, and all billing account
information can be accessed from one central screen. Exhausted
benefits tracking features calculate and update "days
remaining" information for co-insurance and Lifetime Reserve
days. Room and bed charges can be pre-billed for self-pay
patients, and Medicaid patients can be pre-billed for liability
amounts.
Resident Trust Accounting
A
Resident Trust Accounting feature allows for deposits,
withdrawals, statements, and report generation. In addition, the
Resident Trust feature integrates with the accounts receivable
portion of the resident's account in order to track income and
entitlements. Direct deposits to the trust fund can be
automatically transferred to the client's account.
Risk Management
MEDITECH's
Risk Management software provides a vehicle for capturing client-specific
risk factors such as incidents, behaviors, stress contributors,
and supports, in order to monitor a client's level of risk. Non-client-related
events are also supported and the system incorporates a follow-up
review process in order to ensure appropriate notifications are
performed. User-defined automatic alerts can be sent to the
treatment team, case manager, and supervisory personnel on any
critical items that require intervention. Alerts can be based on
a single event or a series of events. Reports are provided to
monitor any mandatory review policies and the system can provide
electronic files for submission to outside agencies. Information
is integrated with our Admissions application and Enterprise
Medical Record.
Legal Status and Tracking
MEDITECH's
Legal software allows for quick and accurate collection and
maintenance of guardianship, legal, and forensic (court
commitments) information. Staff is able to track court-ordered
data such as medications, treatments, restraining orders, and
privileges, as well as notification information for guardianship,
court contacts, and duty-to-protect contacts. The system also
allows capture and maintenance of legal assignments including
legal status, criminal charges, and guardianship type.
Additionally, staff can monitor court appearance dates, reviews,
and renewals. MEDITECH's Legal software is fully integrated with
our Admissions, Medical Records, Risk Management, Care
Management, and Enterprise Medical Record products to ensure
appropriate individuals are aware of any restrictions or policies
before they take action.
Clinical Suite
Standard Features
Enterprise Medical Record
MEDITECH's
Enterprise Medical Record (EMR) includes a single client chart
where treatment teams and care providers can view information
from a single episode of care or for the entire medical record.
Data from MEDITECH applications within the enterprise, as well as
from other vendor information systems, is collected and stored in
the EMR. Data displays are specific to your organization type,
and for those enterprises that support an entire spectrum of
care, users can select data displays customized for an acute,
behavioral health, and long-term care setting. Other features
include customization of patient lists, trending, graphs,
confidential access and security, and highlighting of new
information since last review.
Order Entry
MEDITECH's
Order Entry application provides care providers with fast,
accurate entry of orders from a single screen along with
immediate access to patient information and test results. The
application links patient locations to clinical departments in a
powerful information network, therefore reducing the time
required to identify a patient, and helping providers to enter,
edit, or cancel patient orders quickly and with ease. Order Entry
simplifies the ordering process through order sets, whereby one
entry can create a group of orders for multiple departments.
Series orders can be generated with user- defined limits.
Caregivers can track the status of orders as well as retrieve
clinical data. Reports and statistics can be generated for
nursing areas and ancillary departments. An electronic signature
feature is also available for organizations that require orders
to be signed by an authorized provider. Order Entry is integrated
with MEDITECH's Enterprise Medical Record and Patient Care System.
Patient Care System
MEDITECH's
Patient Care System (PCS) is an electronic documentation system
offering care providers interdisciplinary Plans of Care required
for a patient-focused care delivery system. Automated worklists
allow care providers to document care using a Windows 95® or
Windows NT® point-of-care device. PCS display panels provide the
ability to observe up-to-date patient information. Dynamic
electronic links to MEDITECH's Enterprise Medical Record offer
care providers another resource for their clinical decisions.
These links support critical data review during the assessments
and outcomes documentation process.
Care Management Suite
Standard Features
MEDITECH's Care Management suite allows for the comprehensive coordination of a client’s care across an entire enterprise. The software provides the care coordinator with functionality for caseload management, enrollments, waitlist management, treatment planning, and assessments. All features are fully integrated with MEDITECH's Admissions, Medical Records, Billing, Patient Care System, and Enterprise Medical Record applications.
Clinical Eligibility
Determination
MEDITECH's
Eligibility feature allows for quick and accurate collection of
demographic and historical information on potential clients, in
order to perform need determinations. The system allows a user to
monitor the referral, application, and approval process to
facilitate informed decisions on a person's eligibility to
receive requested services.
Service Planning
The
Care Management software facilitates the documenting of
functional assessments, the processing of individual service
plans for treatment, and the enrollment into identified programs.
Care coordinators can identify program specialties, such as a
certain language, to best meet the needs of the client.
Program Management
Once a
client has been enrolled, the Care Management software allows
program clinicians to track the client’s progress via notes
and outcomes. All information is readily available via
comprehensive inquiry and history displays.
Waitlist Management
If a
program or service is at capacity, the Care Manager’s
waitlist functions allow you to manage their waitlist process
effectively. The waitlist can be sorted and prioritized
dynamically and the client can be enrolled directly into a
program.
Desktop Workload
Management
MEDITECH’s
Desktop is a tool that care coordinators can use to organize
their work. The Desktop feature alerts users to date sensitive
events such as eligibility treatment plan reviews, court
appearances, and user scheduled events. Additionally, it is
integrated with our Risk Management application and provides
alerts for critical incidents, which may affect a client’s
treatment.
