Forcura Introduces New Features Centered Around HIPAA and Budget Cuts
The Forcura Application Receives Face Lift With New Features Such as Tagging and Robust Document Workflow
Online, July 30, 2013 (Newswire.com) - JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Forcura, the leader in post-acute document work-flow, released a bevy of new features inspired by the HIPAA Omnibus additions and the sequester cuts hitting the healthcare world. New features include better insight on outstanding documentation and the ability to tag documents for a customized workflow.
"With the addition to HIPAA guidelines and the budget cuts everyone is scrambling to maintain compliance standards with less money. It's a pressure everyone in the healthcare field is feeling" said Craig Mandeville, CEO of Forcura.
The increased visibility of a single documents workflow will allow compliance officers the ability to monitor the status of each document in half the time. A user can view who sent it out, how long it has been pending completion and how many times it has been resent to the recipient all within one consolidated menu. These enhanced monitoring capabilities also provide an organization with an audit trail in the event of a data breach. For the daily users of the system, this features drastically reduces their time spent tracking and following up with outstanding documents. Their time can then be reallocated to patient-centered tasks that add value to the business.
"When we first debuted the consolidated workflow menu we received a positive response from our users. They are thrilled that our system will now save them even more time", said Corey Dreckman, Vice President of Client Experience at Forcura.
Another added feature is for the users to tag documents based on their organizations rules. Color tags are created and managed by a person with administrative rights, but can be used by any user to label documents. Clients are using the colors to label form type such as orders, labs, 485's or by urgency level. Once the document is labeled, viewers can conveniently understand its status or type before opening it up for viewing. This feature makes organization a breeze and saves the users the time of opening up a document repeatedly to view it.
These enhancements are only a small addition to the host of features currently boasted by Forcura's software all geared to cut cost and streamline processes.
