Cardiology Associates of North Mississippi Uses Centricity EMR, Athena PMIS, and White Plume Technologies

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardiology Associates of North Mississippi (CANM) located in Tupelo, MS, uses White Plume Technologies to fill the EMR gap in their practice between Centricity’s electronic medical record (EMR)/electronic health record (EHR) and Athena’s practice management system (PM system).  

With over 20 full time cardiology specialists in northern Mississippi, CANM is one of the state's largest and most respected resources for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. CANM physicians implemented Centricity's EMR solution before they installed Athena's PM system in 2011. The high volume practice has been extremely pleased with the results that they have received from both of these sophisticated solutions. Nevertheless, CANM was still looking for a solution that would allow their physicians to productively pass charges from the EMR to the PM system in a way that not only allowed for the elimination of a paper superbill, but also assured any potential coding errors would be identified and resolved.

Today, CANM's Centricity EMR connects to White Plume's intelligent, customizable rules-based management and workflow engine, AccelaSMART.  Before charges are submitted to their Athena PM system, AccelaSMART checks for errors or missed charges and automatically routes potential errors to the practice administrative staff along with real-time suggestions to correct each encounter. CANM has accelerated their change capture and medical coding review process.  

"[White Plume's] technology has helped provide a streamlined approach for charge entry that complements our EMR. The automated review process [of AccelaSMART] has minimized the time and data-entry strokes associated with charge validation. The rules engine for code editing allows for practice-specific preferences, resulting in submission of 'clean claims' initially and helping prevent denials."
– Debbie Adams, Billing Manager at Cardiology Associates of North Mississippi

AccelaPASS is electronic charge-passing technology that enables EMR and EHR patient chart information to be passed to White Plume's AccelaSMART charge resolution engine, ensuring every charge is immediately validated for compliance against Medicare CCI, medical necessity guidelines, LCDs, NCDs, and payor-specific guidelines.

White Plume Technologies accelerates the charge capture and coding process to fill the EMR gap between current EMR functionality and the much hoped for "ideal" EMRs of the future. To learn more about White Plume and its solutions, visit www.whiteplume.com.
