A turning point for Australian hospitals and a chance to save millions in health dollars
Announcement posted by Eurofield Information Solutions 04 Jul 2017
a fast, accurate and affordable choice for AR-DRG medical record grouping
“For many years, Australian hospitals and day-surgeries have had little choice in grouping tools,” said Alfred Papallo, Founder and CEO of EIS. “TurboGrouper is leading the charge of digital disruption within the market by making coding and grouping of medical records as efficient, accurate and cost-effective as possible for our clients.”
Grouping of coded medical records into Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) is critical for the pricing of admitted acute episodes of care in Australian public and private hospitals, and is the cornerstone for Activity Based Funding (ABF). DRGs are essential for health authorities to provide better management, measurement and payment of high-quality and efficient health care services. They are also used by health funds, researchers, epidemiologists, health economists and statisticians.
TurboGrouper was built in conjunction with clinical coders and Health Information Managers (HIMs) to provide an easy-to-use, end-to-end medical coding and grouping solution that delivers accurate and consistent results. TurboGrouper has been reviewed by Australian Consortium for Classification Development (ACCD) and received a Certificate of Acceptance.
TurboGrouper provides an integrated, easy-to-use and affordable choice to hospitals for DRG grouping. This software is integrated with the popular EIS clinical coding tool, TurboCoder, and uses a similar user interface given its proven simplicity. It also fully integrates with hospital Patient Administration Systems (PAS). Most importantly, TurboGrouper will save hospital costs by offering user-based (instead of separation-based) licencing, and by accurately and transparently grouping codes to ensure the correct hospital reimbursement is received.
TurboGrouper, along with TurboCoder, seeks to bring disruptive change and competition to the medical record coding market, as well as savings to the public and private health sectors by offering an affordable alternative choice that ‘just works’ for coders and HIMs.
