Revenue cycle management

Our technology can use HL7 as well as APIs. These connections help streamline the user experience, and in some cases, provide advanced capabilities by combining Oracle Health data with partner data in ways that can drive decision-making and improve workflows.

Review our current list of preferred supplier partners. However, if you have different third-party tools, patient access has the ability to connect through HL7 interfaces and APIs. The open developer experience (code) site has resources that can assist your support teams in leveraging the APIs Oracle Health has made available.

The open developer experience program encourages innovators to build apps that advance the healthcare industry through improved interoperability capabilities. Using Ignite APIs allows us to scale and better support our API-enabled innovation and healthcare market. Third-party and client developers will find this approach gives the applications they develop extensibility.

Patient access uses a single patient record to keep care, demographic, and historical documentation linked for clinical decision-making and consumer personalization. With an enterprise master person index, your teams can identify and resolve duplicate records to facilitate the integrity of a single person record. Advanced automation capabilities are available with the HealtheIntent Master Person Management (MPM) API, which can help identify and combine your patient records.

Oracle Health Acute Case Management can add value to any customer, including general short stay acute hospitals and health systems, children’s hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and critical access hospitals, as well as behavioral health and development facilities in long-term and post-acute care venues.

Extending Acute Case Management to the post-acute space builds on what’s already available as a product and can be licensed now for use in other venues of care. We’re constantly evaluating use cases for any venue that’s capturing medical necessity criteria and care transitions for the benefit of the caregiver and the safety of the people in the community.*

* All solutions/services are under development. Oracle Health makes no assurances that the capability described herein will be provided in the solution/services.

Acute Case Management supports case managers, utilization nurses, documentation specialists, discharge or care transition planners, social workers, and other clinical roles supporting readmission prevention, denials, and appeals, as well as multidisciplinary teams focused on utilization, length of stay, and care transition planning.

For utilization management, clients can choose to use either InterQual or MCG Health medical review guidelines within Acute Case Management. Medical review guidelines are not sold by Oracle Health. Clients will need a separate license with InterQual or MCG Health prior to embedding content and launching the third-party applications within Acute Case Management.

For care transition planning, Acute Case Management has invested in embedding naviHealth's nH Discharge and Ensocare Transition to support care transitions for patients discharged from acute care and needing post-acute care placement and services. Oracle Health resells the post-acute care transitions (naviHealth's nH Discharge) and post-acute referrals (Ensocare Transition) solution integration and support.
