“Using PFT simplifies the transition to an EHR and helps physicians maintain their productivity by
accommodating their existing workflow and preferences rather than forcing them to adjust to constantly evolving codes, standards and reporting mandates.”
Accelerate, Simplify, and Improve Clinical Documentation
The productivity of physicians plays a critical role in the success of any hospital or health system: whenever their workflow is disrupted, ripple effects are experienced throughout the enterprise. Admission rates decrease as patients are repeatedly forced to wait long periods of time to see their care provider(s). Clinical documentation suffers whenever care providers are scrambling to get their work done, resulting in delayed billing and reimbursements, and, ultimately, decreased cash flow.
The HLI Provider Friendly Terminology (PFT) content set streamlines physician workflow by reducing the administrative burden of clinical documentation.
PFT allows physicians and care providers to use language they are comfortable with when entering patient data into an EHR system. It provides an extensive library of clinical synonyms, linked to standards, to enable semantic interoperability throughout the enterprise.
PFT is linked to ICD-9-CM, ICD-9 procedures, SNOMED CT, and ICD-10-CM/PCS, allowing clinicians to continue using their preferred medical terms without having to adjust to constantly evolving codes, standards, and reporting mandates. Updates from the standard bodies are managed seamlessly - PFT mappings remain intact, allowing clinicians to continue their workflow without interruption.
PFT - A strategic investment for healthcare providers:
- Support Meaningful Use requirements by enabling accurate, up-to-date problem lists
- Ensure accurate reimbursement with improved clinical documentation
- Minimize the learning curve of ICD-10-CM/PCS by providing familiar clinical terms
- Promote EMR adoption by streamlining code searches
- Increase physician satisfaction by supporting their workflow
PFT enhances the productivity of care providers by allowing them to spend more time with their patients and less time searching for unfamiliar diagnosis codes. Clinical documentation improves, reducing administrative “rework” and accelerating reimbursement.
