Easing Regulation Through Workflow and Automation by Amitech

This video shares an in production use case of an automation with well designed workflow, that overcomes many of the challenges faced by back-office operations in health care. The automation was carried out by Saint Peter's University Hospital, a teaching hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with technology and collaboration from Amitech.Meghan Mehlberg, Vice President of Delivery at Amitech, and Michele Goodman, Practice Administrator for the Women’s Health Center at Saint Peter's University Hospital, discuss the target of the automation—a large form required by the state of New Jersey called the Perinatal Risk Assessment (PRA)—the barriers the companies overcame to automate filling out the form, and the resulting benefits.The PRA tracks pregnant patients' clinical, environmental, and psychosocial factors that might indicate a need for special intervention; the aforementioned website says it is "for identifying high risk patients to ensure appropriate care management." The form has grown to 350 fields, some mandatory and others optional which has become quite the burden for staff to complete.Learn more about Amitech: https://amitechsolutions.com/Health IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
