Centralized Referral or Form Management System -
It centralizes the Referrals processing from PCPs for Arkansas Children's
Hospital. Obtaining referrals from PCPs for the patients seen at the
hospital is sometimes a very time consuming and error prone process.
Hospital can potentially loose millions of dollars on insurance claims if
we don't get to receive referrals from PCPs.
. The automated system allows ACH to receive Referrals from PCPs in the
form of faxes in their callpilot system.
. Form Management system reads faxes in the callpilot, process them and
puts in the user's inbox for them to process after identifying whether
it is a Referral or Not. It streamlines the whole process of sending
and receiving faxes for getting referrals.
. It is a beautiful application with several components designed to
perform various functions in order to integrate the whole process from
the point request is made for the referral to the point Referral is
received from PCP. It involves very complex logics built in SQL Server
stored procs and VB.net to evaluate and process request for referrals
and then to process incoming referrals

Healthpoint-
It is a portal for in-house medical providers and outside the hospital. It
allows them to see any information about their patient. Information ranges
from lab results- like blood test, microbiology or radiology.
. Integration of Radiology imaging software-PAC allows physicians to
even see radiology image of their patients.
. Progress notes on patients can also be viewed in a very structured
manner using Treeview.
. There is a huge section of this site which allows users to record
their notes whether it be discharge summary or daily progress notes.
. Very soon this is becoming very popular way of recording and keeping
their documentation on patients.
