ATLANTA, Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Streamline
Health Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRM), provider of the Looking
Glass® platform of integrated solutions, technology-enabled
services and analytics supporting revenue cycle optimization for
healthcare enterprises in the new value-based world, today
announced the general release of version 16.3.1.0 upgrade for its
Looking Glass® Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) and Coding
solution.
This upgrade includes features developed to enable healthcare
providers to improve staff productivity, enable more effective
resource management and enhance overall financial
performance. The new version enables numerous enhancements to
the workflow and home page display. These include empowering
supervisors to better manage workload and staffing by enabling
them to see both assigned and all pending future work. The
upgrade provides for displaying additional customizable columns in
the queue and homepages including working DRG, final DRG, and last
review date. The new version provides enhanced support of CDI
notes. Full text search is available for rule criteria to
suggest various queries to improve coding efficiency. In
addition, any queries previously closed or cancelled by mistake can
now be reinstated without re-creating the query. This saves time
and ensures that query metrics will be accurately reflected in
summary reports. Metrics are also enhanced by the flexibility
to better isolate starting and ending points used to accurately
calculate the CDI impact. And this version includes enhancements to
reports used to provide CDI impact to executive
management.
Version 16.3.1.0 also provides a new searching function by
enterprise patient identifier for multi-facility providers that
deploy this higher-level identifier. This feature provides
support for growing provider networks with initiatives to generate
an enterprise-wide unique MRN.
"We are committed to continuous improvement for all of our
Looking Glass software solutions," stated David Sides, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Streamline Health. "This newest upgrade to our
Looking Glass CDI and Coding suite delivers greater capabilities
and benefits to our clients who are focused on improving their
reimbursement in this new value-based world. Our next update in
just a couple of months will include certain patient safety
indicators, another important improvement that will continue to
keep our CDI solution at the forefront of the industry."
