CAC

GOOD MORNING!

Our institution is looking at Computer-assisted-Coding (CAC) for the coders, and for the CDI- to either supplement our existing program or to replace it.

For the CDI program-we have an obvious concern for the QUERY issues...how to use, attach, reporting features etc with EHR and MEDITECH.

This morning, we reviewed with a program from DOLBEY Fusion. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE USE DOLBEY CAC for coding, and or CDI?

We were told by the DOLBEY rep that they work with "BUTLER HEALTH" who also has MEDITECH (which we use), so if anyone is from Butler Health I would love to know what you think!
Thanks!

  • We are supposed to go live with the coding module this Fall. Originally is was October, but that hasn't happened. There is discussion about adding the CDI module within the year, but we have no plan for it yet.
    I posted a question about this last winter/spring(?) after we did the CDI demo. I didn't get many responses. I hope you get some good info as I am curious too!

    Juli,

    We have EHR and Meditech and will go live with 3M 360 Encompass next spring. Initially it will be the CAC portion only. We have seen the whole package and the CDI demo rocked!
