Boston Software Systems to host a webinar on uses and advantages of hospital workflow automation

Boston Software Systems™, the leader in workflow automation technology to the healthcare market, today announced Thom Blackwell, product manager, will host a Webinar with several McKesson users on the uses and advantages of workflow automation on August 27. The Webinar is titled “Harness the Benefits of Automation in the McKesson Environment.”

Blackwell will also demonstrate the value of automation at the McKesson Insight Conference Booth #209 from September 9-12 in Orlando, FL.

Hundreds of McKesson hospitals get more done, save more and even recoup money because they use automation technology. Webinar attendees will hear from McKesson hospital users who are seeing the practical benefits of having software perform tasks instead of people. The speakers will describe how they have used workflow automation without making large investments in time, money and staffing, or even needing to change existing processes. Attendees will gain ideas for automating manual, data entry-intensive processes and learn how they can be done faster and more accurately.

Webinar Speakers:

Thom Blackwell, product manager, Boston Software Systems, will offer a special understanding of the workflow in healthcare organizations, and how to bring technology to bear in reducing the time and costs associated with information management.

Angela Ray, senior project manager, Saint Vincent's Health System, will describe how automation allowed her to keep FIM/SIM updates synced across all hospital facilities and bring new facilities on board, ultimately saving hundreds of thousands of man hours.

Reese Walker, lead financial systems analyst, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, will share how using automation in his failed claims process is allowing the hospital to recoup more than $20 million in claims, reduce days in A/R and consistently reduce the failed claims amount by as much as 86 percent!

Deborah Boyd, decision support analyst at BJC Healthcare, will show how she updates the yearly price increases/decreases, creates new sales codes and updates existing sales codes for ten facilities, and saves three weeks of staff time and possible revenue lost from delayed price changes.
