If your healthcare organization is like most, your employees spend a significant portion of their time reviewing and processing data, and routing information to the appropriate people and entities in your patients’ continuum of care. Because medical data is packaged and transmitted using so many different formats, standards, and protocols, those tasks probably include:
Extracting key details from PDFs and manually entering them into your EHR.
Pulling data from a patient’s records and typing it into a Direct Secure Message.
Reconciling formats between disparate systems.
Copying and pasting details of recent services to create invoices for the organization.
Updating individual codebases or custom scripts every time a data standard evolves.
An effective integration engine helps bridge the gaps among these different data sources, formats, and tools — allowing your staff to quickly and easily perform just about any processing or routing task with any type of data or delivery protocol.
Why Most Integration Engines Fall Short
You can think of an integration engine as a central data exchange hub unifying all of the data sources and transmission technologies across your organization — and making all inbound and outbound communications simpler and more efficient for your team.
That’s why optimizing an integration engine can boost your organization’s efficiency, improve your patient care, and enable your staff to shift their time from tedious paperwork tasks to revenue-generating initiatives.
Why eFax® Conductor is a Leader in the Industry
Because it’s supported by eFax® — a leader in healthcare communication solutions with more than 30 years of tech heritage — the eFax® Conductor integration engine can take your organization’s data exchange interoperability several steps further.
Like other integration engines, eFax® Conductor sits at the heart of your IT environment and lets your staff easily receive or route any communication using any data format they choose.
But as a tightly integrated solution in the eFax® portfolio — which includes eFax Corporate®, one of the leading digital cloud fax platforms for healthcare, the eFax® Clarity Intelligent Document Processing solution, robotic process automation, and the eSignature tool, jSign®, — eFax® Conductor lets your organization automate key time-saving workflows that will bring you one step closer to true interoperability.
With eFax® Conductor running in the background, for example, your staff will be able to:
Receive faxed documents in their Direct Message inboxes, as attachments, or directly into your EHR through HL7 standards (HL7v2, CCDA, etc.)
Reduce the frequency of errors associated with data duplication and transcription.
Automatically pull data from unstructured files such as PDFs and scanned documents and transfer that data into structured formats and/or directly into the appropriate fields in the patient’s records.
Automatically convert FHIR messages to PDFs and send them via fax (for providers such as SNFs and home health services that often do not support FHIR).
Convert unstructured data sent via fax to structured, secure FHIR messages in areas where paper-based workflows (like referrals and prior authorizations) are still prevalent.
Set customizable alerts delivered to the appropriate members of your care team — triggered even by handwritten transmissions received by fax.
Securely send consent forms and other documents with legally binding digital signature fields built in (using the jSign® integration).
