Nymbl Systems has introduced a new functionality to achieve a more streamlined and automated patient intake workflow.
In a June 3 news announcement, the software company, based in Dublin, Ohio, said its new Single-Page Patient Intake capability can improve providers’ efficiency by 20%, according to feedback from early adopters.
“Designed with the ever-evolving needs of the orthotics & prosthetics (O&P), Complex Rehab Technology (CRT), and home medical equipment (HME) industries in mind, this new functionality is set to revolutionize the way health-care providers manage patient data by streamlining the intake process, reducing paperwork, and enhancing overall data accuracy,” the announcement said.
“At the core of this innovative feature is a user-friendly design that consolidates all necessary patient information onto a single, easy-to-navigate page. Unlike other billing and business management solutions on the market, this design allows intake staff to enter all critical patient data quickly and efficiently, minimizing the need to navigate through multiple pages or tabs and reducing the time required to complete each patient’s intake.”
A new approach to old workflows
“The launch of our Single-Page Patient Intake feature further demonstrates our commitment to rethinking age-old workflows that have limited O&P, CRT, and HME providers’ ability to find extreme efficiencies,” said Josh Lau, CEO of Nymbl Systems. “As declining reimbursement pressures and rising costs continue to squeeze provider margins, we continue to find new ways to help our customers leverage modern technology to simplify administrative tasks and positively impact their bottom lines.”
The Single-Page Patient Intake feature includes all essential data fields, “including basic patient demographic information, detailed insurance details, HCPCS coding, and more,” the announcement added. “It facilitates a comprehensive approach to data collection, ensuring that all pertinent information, including patient contacts, insurance cards, and other files and documents, can be uploaded directly from this page for later access within the patient’s chart. This feature supports the initiation of the patient’s prescription and pulls items from inventory for any stock and bill orders, streamlining the process further.”
The new function is also optimized for use on mobile devices, “ensuring ease of access and efficiency even when away from the office.”
Lau added that the Single-Page Patient Intake function “lays the foundation for the potential of integrating AI to further automate data entry processes for our customers. By leveraging advanced AI algorithms, our system will soon be able to automatically extract and process information from faxed documents, eliminating the need for manual data entry. This technology will accurately pull all relevant diagnosis codes, HCPCS codes, and product details, ensuring that our customers can focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.”
The new Single-Page Patient Intake system is available to all Nymbl Systems users.
