E/Point is a standalone outpatient facility charging software program that will assist CCH staff record work performed during ED patient visits. The software employs LYNX proprietary Outpatient Facility Charging Algorithm, which produces a visit level distribution and revenue that accurately reflects patient acuity mix and resource utilization in the ED. E/Point automatically calculates the visit level for consistent, compliant and complete E/M charge assignment then extracts charges to the hospital billing or financial system. The hospital can also access financial and clinical data to better manage ED operations and patient care.
Callaway Community Hospital is one of seven community hospitals operated in four states by SunLink Health Systems, Inc. and the fifth hospital within the SunLink system to implement LYNX E/Point. CCH in Fulton, Missouri is a JCAHO accredited acute care facility providing primary care, outpatient, skilled nursing and community health care services.
