Case Study: All Children’s Hospital streamlines charge capture and boosts ICD-10 readiness with pMD

All Children’s Hospital captures charges in 3.8 hours with pMD

All Children's Hospital sought to improve its inefficient paper-based hospital charge capture process for 50 inpatient physicians, which created data entry redundancies and risked lost charges. Their CIO, Cal Popovich, turned to the vendor pMD for a mobile electronic solution to maintain ease of use while ensuring ICD-10 readiness.

pMD implemented a mobile charge capture system that interfaced with the hospital's Cerner system to provide real-time patient lists. Physicians could capture charges instantly at the point of care, and charges were electronically sent to Epic Resolute, eliminating manual data entry. The results included 100% physician adoption, a dramatic reduction in charge entry lag to an average of 3.8 hours from service, and significantly streamlined workflows for both clinicians and billing staff.
