Keane, a global IT services firm, has won a multi-year contract from The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Under the contract, Keane will deploy a front-end admission discharge and transfer solution and upgrade the hospital’s existing back-end billing solution to Keane’s new browser-based EZ-Access Patcom solution.
Keane claims that the front-end admission discharge and transfer solution (ADT) System, also browser-based, will take just over one year to fully deploy. The system is expected to streamline the hospital’s patient registration system from the point of admission through the discharge or transfer of the patient and will interface with over 200 systems within The Johns Hopkins Hospital. This includes the collection and management of critical patient data to improve patient safety and quality of care, as well as billing and insurance information, to streamline billing processes on the back-end.
According to Keane, upgrading the back-end billing system to Keane’s EZ-Access Patcom will give Johns Hopkins additional insight and functionality into patient billing, enhance the revenue cycle process and improve staff productivity, generating improved ROI for the hospital.
Walt Kaczor, senior vice president of healthcare solutions division at Keane, said: “The Johns Hopkins Hospital is a long-time client of Keane, and we’re delighted that they have selected us to implement a full admission, discharge and transfer solution, which is one of the most visible technology components in a hospital. We believe this project is a testament to the quality of our solutions and our ability to develop long-term client relationships.”
