FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Health and
Passport®, the healthcare-industry leader for a
single-revenue-cycle platform, today announced that its eCare
NEXT® solution earned the highest score in the Patient
Access category of the 2014 Best in KLAS Awards. Based on thousands
of healthcare providers that KLAS interviews every year, Experian
Health's solution ranked highest in the Software & Services
report, with an overall score of 82.7.
"It is an honor that our clients hold our solutions in such high
regard that they have been recognized by KLAS year after year,"
said Scott Bagwell, president of
Experian Health. "We are committed to providing data and insights
that empower users to take appropriate actions to enhance the
overall patient experience, mitigate risk and improve
profitability."
This is the fourth straight year that Experian Health has
received the highest rank in the Patient Access categories. In
2011, 2012 and 2013, Experian Health was named KLAS Category Leader
in Patient Access — Eligibility Checking, and now in 2014, eCare
NEXT was recognized as Best in KLAS in the broader Patient Access
category. Additionally, Experian Health was recently named top
performer in the 2014 KLAS Patient Access Report.
eCare NEXT is an integrated workflow platform incorporating
Touchless Processing™ to automate revenue-cycle workflows
intelligently and clear patients financially. This approach enables
healthcare organizations to centralize operations, where
appropriate, and focus resource efforts only on those exceptions
that need attention. The resulting benefit is significant in that
it optimizes payment certainty across all patients while enabling
healthcare providers to manage all orders, scheduling, registration
and financial clearance through a single business partner. eCare
NEXT also supports population health management initiatives to help
our clients manage their patients' entire course of care, from
initial diagnosis through full recovery, streamlining workflow,
identifying and managing specialty members at the point of service,
and reducing readmissions.
