Preferred Homecare implements Authentidate Holding's Inscrybe Healthcare web-based service

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure Health Information Exchange, workflow management services and telehealth solutions, today announced that Preferred Homecare, a leading provider of comprehensive home healthcare products and services, selected Authentidate's Inscrybe® Healthcare web-based service to further enhance the management of critical business workflows.

"We decided to implement Inscrybe Healthcare because of its reputation for streamlining communications with referring physicians. It interfaces with our CareCentric® Mestamed® system, which helps us to speed-up the processing of referrals and related approvals for patient care as well as reducing errors and administrative costs," commented David Scheven, Co-CEO at Preferred Homecare.

Inscrybe Healthcare facilitates information exchanges with referring physicians for all types of healthcare transactions required for the authorization of home medical equipment and supplies for patients. The web-based service automates manual workflow processes and efficiently tracks the status of those communications, reducing the time it takes to obtain completed healthcare documentation from referring physicians. The streamlined workflows improve the efficiency of clinical and administrative processes, reducing operating expenses and uncollected revenues.

Physicians decide whether to review and sign documentation on the secure Inscrybe website or receive and send documents by facsimile. This flexibility enhances communications between referring physicians and providers because each party can do business the way they prefer. Electronic or fax replies are linked to the initial request and updated on all systems automatically. As a web-based platform, Inscrybe is inherently scalable and easy to implement, providing for business expansion at minimal cost.

"Preferred Homecare's decision to utilize our Inscrybe Healthcare service for communications with referring physicians will further advance the timely delivery of quality care to their patients. Inscrybe's secure web-based platform brings communications between referring physicians and home healthcare providers to a new level of convenience. Its centralized management functions provide added workflow efficiencies to improve throughput of time-sensitive clinical documentation across multiple locations and accelerate approvals by referring physicians," said Zachary Madrigal, Director of Sales Western Region at Authentidate
