Benefis Health System
Because their hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) system doesn’t have a platform for rehab, members of the rehab team at Benefis Health System in Great Falls, MT, had to manage rehab documentation, charges, and other compliance requirements on paper. This sometimes led to inaccurate billing and compliance errors. After an eye-opening audit, the team realized the department needed a system that had tools specifically designed for both inpatient and outpatient rehab requirements.
The Benefis rehab group chose MediLinks, which can integrate with the hospital’s host EHR to make patient data available throughout the system. With MediLinks, the rehab providers at Benefis Health System can now:
- Accurately document notes and charges and uncover errors before they become problems
- Efficiently track and manage required therapy hours
- Easily complete the new IRF patient assessment instrument (IRF-PAI) using customized templates
- Confidently report the rehab department’s performance to hospital management
