Meeting Meaningful Use Objectives

Take Advantage of HITECH Incentive Payments for Medical Transcription

HITECH makes available incentive payments for healthcare facilities totaling over $20 billion dollars! To qualify for incentive funding, facilities must demonstrate their adoption and use of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and the “meaningful use” of clinical patient data. To define and quantify “meaningful use”, the DHHS has developed a measurable set of core objectives regarding clinical data usage.

To assist our clients in meeting their “meaningful use” objectives, Bayscribe, OTI’s technology provider, has integrated MedLEE into its document management platform. The Integration of the MedLEE Portal provides the highest quality Natural Language Processing technology in the market today.

The purpose of MedLEE is to extract, structure, and encode clinical information in transcribed reports so that the data can be used by your EMR. MedLEE is the result of a collaborative effort between several departments at Columbia University.

Once typed into the Bayscribe system, all reports are passed through the MedLEE engine where the Problems, Allergies, Medications, etc. are extracted as structured, codified data and passed to your EMR.

This process allows you to:

  • Quickly identify patients admitted with key Problems, i.e. Pneumonia, Heart Failure and notify Care Team members,
  • Provide summary Coding data to the Coding Department upon Discharge,
  • Integrate Medications into Discharge & Transfer documentation easily and reconcile with Medical Record systems,
  • Provide a search platform to report information to government agencies,
  • Use extracted clinical data in a wide variety of ways to simultaneously improve your patient care and assist you in meeting the measurement requirements for your “meaningful use” core objectives.
