Ultimus Releases Health IT Best Practices for Improving and Restructuring the Healthcare Industry

Whitepaper details how Process Improvement can aid the healthcare industry and provide leverage to Economic Stimulus proposals

CARY, NC (August 18, 2009) - Ultimus, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today released a whitepaper on how Process Improvement can aid the Healthcare Industry. With all of the changes being mandated by the federal government, this whitepaper serves to inform healthcare organizations on how they can take advantage of stimulus funding to meet new efficiency standards. This informative and timely whitepaper entitled “HIT Best Practices for Improving and Restructuring the Healthcare Industry” highlights:

  • How BPM serves as an integral piece of a successful Healthcare, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology organization today
  • How the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) encourages Process Automation initiatives in HIT and which projects qualify for funding
  • Incentive payments to physicians and hospitals available through ARRA and reimbursement timeline
  • Mandated deadlines for Electronic Health Records (EHRs)and penalties for non-compliance
  • Breach notification for Protected Health Information (PHI)

Taking advantage of financial incentives and adopting complaint solutions early can help healthcare organizations achieve a greater competitive advantage and improve the quality of service and patient care. Moreover, organizations that fail to adopt HIT best practices by 2015 will face heavy monetary fines.
