Cooper Green Mercy Hospital Goes Live with Stockell Healthcare's InsightCS® System to Address Its Patient Access and Patient Accounting Requirements

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Stockell Healthcare Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce that its InsightCS® Revenue Cycle Information Management system is up and running at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.  The system is providing the Jefferson County community hospital with a complete suite of built-in Patient Access (Scheduling, Registration, ADT) and Patient Accounting (Billing, Collections) functionality.

Cooper Green selected Stockell Healthcare's InsightCS® and Medsphere's OpenVista® electronic health record (EHR) system as a replacement for Meditech.  The combination of solutions is enabling the hospital to achieve true, end-to-end electronic patient care and patient information management while meeting Stage One Meaningful Use requirements and qualifying for federal stimulus funds provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

"We look forward to the cost reductions and other accountability measures that both Stockell Healthcare's InsightCS® and OpenVista bring to our operations," stated Cooper Green Mercy CFO John Garrett.  "InsightCS® affords us the opportunity to spend more time managing and improving our various revenue cycle processes and less time preparing detailed supporting work papers for each process."

"Cooper Green Hospital leaders remain steadfast in their commitment to significantly upgrade patient care in the face of very tough budgetary constraints," stated Stockell Healthcare President Rick Stockell.  "Community hospitals are at the heart of local healthcare delivery, and Cooper Green is a remarkable example of a public hospital able to make needed improvements within limited means."
