MEDITECH
Behavioral Health Administrative
product brief

MEDITECH's Behavioral Health Administrative product helps organizations manage both the quality and cost of care provided to behavioral health clients. This fully-integrated client-focused system provides a continuum of mental health care, ranging from emergency crisis intervention, acute and long-term care hospitalization, short-term episodic outpatient treatment services, and longer-term rehabilitative outpatient mental health services.

The system integrates information across administrative, financial, and clinical departments, helping organizations function more effectively. Client information is always accurate and up-to-date, and administrators have immediate access to the clinical and financial statistics they need.

Behavioral health agencies are able to work cohesively with acute care hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and home health agencies in their health care network. All providers throughout the organization can access a client's psychiatric and medical condition when care is required. Staff can view all care that a client receives in an on-line medical record. Security and confidentiality features enable organizations to set access parameters to client data for each user within the organization.

Standard Features

Registration and Medical Records
Our Registration and Medical Records functionality collects and updates demographic information, family contact data, insurance coverage, diagnostic Axis codes, and leave-of-absence/hold days. The assignment of rooms and beds is handled electronically, eliminating errors. Direct enrollment into outpatient programs and services is available along with corresponding attendance statistics. All ORYX-required data elements are included.

Abstracting
MEDITECH’s Abstracting functionality collects and reports various patient information, such as Peer Review Organization (PRO) data, as well as data for state and federal reporting requirements. Abstracting features include on-line coding of inpatients and outpatients using ICD-9 and DSM-IV diagnosis codes. Organizations can electronically submit state abstract files as well as performance and outcome measurements (NASMHPD).

Revenue Cycle
MEDITECH's Behavioral Health Administrative product efficiently handles all aspects of revenue cycle management, and all billing information can be changed retroactively. The system allows for tracking of interim bills, collecting amounts on-line, and printing of statements. Claims are generated electronically, and all billing account information can be accessed from one central screen. Exhausted benefits tracking features calculate and update "days remaining" information for co-insurance and Lifetime Reserve days. Room and bed charges can be pre-billed for self-pay patients, and Medicaid patients can be pre-billed for liability amounts.

Resident Trust Accounting
A Resident Trust Accounting feature allows for deposits, withdrawals, statements, and report generation. In addition, the Resident Trust feature integrates with the accounts receivable portion of the resident's account in order to track income and entitlements. Direct deposits to the trust fund can be automatically transferred to the client's account.

Risk Management
MEDITECH's Risk Management software provides a vehicle for capturing client-specific risk factors such as incidents, behaviors, stress contributors, and supports, in order to monitor a client's level of risk. Non-client-related events are also supported and the system incorporates a follow-up review process in order to ensure appropriate notifications are performed. User-defined automatic alerts can be sent to the treatment team, case manager, and supervisory personnel on any critical items that require intervention. Alerts can be based on a single event or a series of events. Reports are provided to monitor any mandatory review policies and the system can provide electronic files for submission to outside agencies. Information is integrated with our Admissions application and Enterprise Medical Record.

Legal Status and Tracking
MEDITECH's Legal software allows for quick and accurate collection and maintenance of guardianship, legal, and forensic (court commitments) information. Staff is able to track court-ordered data such as medications, treatments, restraining orders, and privileges, as well as notification information for guardianship, court contacts, and duty-to-protect contacts. The system also allows capture and maintenance of legal assignments including legal status, criminal charges, and guardianship type. Additionally, staff can monitor court appearance dates, reviews, and renewals. MEDITECH's Legal software is fully integrated with our Health Information Management, Risk Management, Care Management, and Enterprise Medical Record products to ensure appropriate individuals are aware of any restrictions or policies before they take action.
