Integrating to systems can enhance the work environment and improve efficiency. The medical industry is rife with integration opportunities. Existing standards such as the Ansi electronic billing standard, HL7 and DICOM allows not only systems, but payers and providers to speak the same language. At MBS, we believe in leveraging and encouraging standardization as much as possible. However, the word standard is a bit simplistic when dealing with these technologies. These standards allow a great deal of flexibility. Understanding the pitfalls of that flexibility is what makes Medical Business Systems a great candidate to assist in an integration using one of these standards.
Unfortunately, these standards are only applicable to a fraction of integration opportunities. The medical billing industry is widely compartmentalized and this results in massive inefficiencies. Data flows in many directions and into even more systems. MBS is an expert at data exchange between systems and can deliver solutions to common problems in the industry.
