What is Patient Identification?
• Selecting the right patient ensures patient safety:
– Identifying the right patients allows the clinicians to pull the
correct medical history
– A sophisticated search algorithm is used to search through 4.5
million patient records.
– Linking patients across Johns Hopkins Medicine will allow for
retrieval of medical history across the JHM family.
• Systems:
– Quadramed – a vendor application which provides the searching
algorithms
– PID - a “homegrown” application which assigns the patient’s
medical record number
What is Outpatient Scheduling
and Registration?
• Schedules a patient with the right department and care provider in
the desired time slot
• Captures registration information to prepare the clinician for seeing
the patient
• Captures important insurance information to ensure that the services
are successfully billed
• System: Epic
What is Admitting?
• Captures information for patients admitted to the Hospital:
– Demographic information - who is this patient, where do they
live?
– Insurance information – who will we bill for this Hospital visit?
– Where is the patient located in the Hospital?
• Systems:
– SMS ADT is currently in use
– Keane ADT will replace SMS ADT in July, 2010
What is Bed Management?
• Captures information for all patients currently admitted to the
Hospital:
– Who is in each bed in the Hospital?
• Allows patients to be transferred to another clinical service or bed.
• Provides a discharge function for when the patient leaves the
Hospital.
• Provides a Hospital-wide view of current occupancy to plan for
incoming patients.
• System: EBB – a “homegrown” system
What is Document Image
Capture?
• Captures scanned documents:
– For outpatients – picture ID, insurance card, referral form
– For inpatients – pre-admission test information from other
providers
– For other business functions, including HR, Accounts Payable,
and the Executive Offices.
• Patient data is integrated with the EPR for access by clinicians
• System: Documentum AX. System is also known as WebX, EDMS,
Legato, and OTG.
What is Hospital Billing
and Coding?
• Produces bills for Hospital services for:
– Insurance companies

• Tracks the Accounts Receivables for JHH
• Processes payments from insurance and patients

DRG, CPT-4
