Utah-based
mental health organization integrates EHR and behavioral health
solutions to help deliver a better care experience for patients and
providers
Automated revenue cycle processes to drive
efficiency and speed reimbursement
AUSTIN,
Texas, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Odyssey House, a community-based mental health and
substance abuse treatment provider in Utah, has gone live with Oracle Health's
electronic health record (EHR) and behavioral health
solutions at its Martindale Clinic. By replacing its previous
health records system with Oracle Health, Odyssey House will be
able to further automate billing processes and give clinicians an
all-encompassing view of patient data to help make more informed
care decisions. With connected data and systems, Odyssey House can
also reduce administrative overhead, improve financial transparency
and control, and simplify its operational reporting.
Odyssey House is one of the largest and most comprehensive
addiction programs in Utah. The
organization offers adult outpatient and residential treatment
services, as well as programming for parents with children, youth
residential, sober housing, criminal justice, and alumni services
across 29 care sites throughout the state.
"Oracle Health is the only EHR vendor that has been able to meet
the needs of our agency with behavioral health charting, primary
care charting, and an integrated revenue cycle solution," said
Adam Cohen, chief executive officer,
Odyssey House. "With Oracle Health, we can implement interoperable
solutions that communicate with one another to help care for the
whole patient."
As its program grew over the years, Odyssey House implemented
multiple disparate solutions that ultimately required redundant
data entry and complex manual processes to ensure that patient
information was accessible and accurate for care teams, as well as
for front and back-office staff. Following a thorough vendor
review, Odyssey House selected Oracle Health's EHR to replace its
legacy systems and drive clinical and operational efficiency.
Odyssey House recently went live with Oracle Health's EHR at its
primary care Martindale Clinic. With the Oracle Health EHR and more
than 200 behavioral health–specific screening and assessment tools,
staff will be able to take advantage of the system's simplified
workflows to create a more comprehensive patient record. These
solutions, together with other features, including embedded
telehealth capabilities and on-demand reporting and analytics, can
help clinicians make more-informed care decisions.
The clinic will also benefit from Oracle Health EHR's revenue
cycle management solutions. These tools will enable Odyssey House
to aggregate clinical and financial data, automate chart
completion, and simplify the coding workflow to help reduce manual
processes, improve billing accuracy, and increase reimbursement
rates.
"For many people, mental health is a years or lifelong battle,
making it essential for caregivers to have a complete record of
their patient's health and treatment journey," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and
general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "With Oracle's
connected technologies, providers like Odyssey House can combine
mental health and primary care data to help providers make the most
informed care decisions, while maximizing opportunities as an
organization by better managing revenue and optimizing
efficiency."
