"Our joint implementation with Keane in West Virginia proved the effectiveness of our collaborative delivery and support model in providing a total solution for revenue cycle, financial and clinical needs. It also allowed us to develop a proven integration method that can be replicated in other deployments," said Denean Rivera, Senior Vice President of Client Services and Strategic Partnerships at Medsphere. "Other organizations will now be able to reap the same benefits."

Medsphere's OpenVista is a commercial open source version of the VA's VistA EHR enhanced to meet the needs of non-VA healthcare providers and sold as a package that includes professional services, training, ongoing product upgrades, and 24x7 customer support. Use of the core VistA functionality, available in the public domain, offers an affordable EHR solution without expensive proprietary license fees while also delivering a platform with a twenty-year track record that has been heralded for its role in turning the VA into a leader in quality care.

Keane's EZ-Access Patcom revenue cycle management (RCM) suite incorporates patient access, patient billing, accounts receivable, collections, contract management and additional RCM modules designed to help hospitals of all sizes increase revenue and cash flow, decrease days outstanding for accounts receivable, and improve revenue cycle management. Leveraging Web technology, EZ-Access Patcom enhances the revenue cycle process with advanced functionality including online scheduling, insurance eligibility, and medical necessity checking. The system's workflow engine manages each account's lifecycle from start to finish, streamlining operations and accelerating the collection process.

The partnership is effective
