CPSI Announces Partnership With ChartWise Medical Systems to Offer Enhanced TruBridge Clinical Documentation Solutions
October 6, 2020
MOBILE, Ala. (September 23, 2020) — CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a healthcare solutions company, and ChartWise Medical Systems Inc. (ChartWise), a computer-assisted clinical documentation improvement (CDI) company, announced a partnership to help healthcare organizations of all sizes improve clinical documentation accuracy and overall medical reimbursement.
As payers continue shifting from fee-for-service to fee-for-value reimbursement models, providers face challenges with incomplete or inaccurate documentation that can lead to incorrect billing, reimbursement, and quality reporting. Through the ChartWise computer-assisted CDI software, physicians and clinical documentation specialists (CDS) gain tools and guidance to improve documentation quality—reducing claim denials and ensuring more accurate reimbursement.
Dr. Jon Elion, founder of ChartWise, stated, “We have spent the last 25 years focusing on technology innovations that help healthcare providers work smarter, not harder. ChartWise enables patient care to be delivered in a more efficient and effective manner, while empowering the clinicians and staff with the tools they need every day.”
Chris Fowler, president of TruBridge, added, “Through this partnership with ChartWise, we will enhance our existing CDI service with software and technology that will ultimately improve reimbursement for clients. With this EHR-agnostic offering, we believe there will be real interest in the added value to the bottom line of many healthcare organizations—especially considering the current financial dynamics being experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Steven Mason, president and CEO of ChartWise, commented, “Our award-winning solution with built-in intelligent expertise guides physicians and CDS toward a complete diagnostic picture, automatically analyzing lab data, medications, and procedures to identify complications and additional diagnoses not fully specified in notes. The result is improved patient acuity determination, quality scores, and revenue capture.”
