| Cost Reduction |
|
Implementing Amelior ED® can generate significant hard cost savings for your emergency department as well as improve the efficiency of your clinical and administrative team.
|
| Hard Cost Savings |
- Elimination of transcription expense. This is a significant cost for emergency departments often costing $7 or more per chart. For an emergency department with an annual patient census of 50,000, this represents a cost saving of $350,000.
- Elimination of coding expense. Outsourced coding can cost $2 or more per chart. With automated ICD-9, CPT-4 professional coding and facility charge capture, emergency departments no longer require outsourced coding support when they implement the Amelior ED® patient care system.
- Elimination of the multi-sheet/no carbon required (NCR) paper charts for nurse and physician documentation.
|

With Amelior ED®, documentation is fast and thorough. Communication between caregivers is streamlined, legible and clear. And access to charts is immediate and thorough. As a result, EDs can be more productive and better prepared to manage their patient volume.
