The healthcare models of today resemble a unique mix of alphabet soup: HMO, IDN, IPA, PHO, MSO, PPMC, and PSO, just to name a few. Not only are today's delivery systems full of various acronyms, but with each comes its own burden of rules, procedures, policies, and reimbursement models. Eligibility verification, referral management, authorization of care, formularies, primary care physician assignment and provider panels are now common vocabulary terms and typically required for each patient interaction. Whatever role in healthcare you play—physician, an employee of a physician practice, a hospital administrator, an ancillary provider or payor—you have suffered the burden of increased administrative costs due to this maze of managed care.

In addition to the administrative hassles that come with these models, patient care delivery has itself become fragmented. As new and more complicated healthcare delivery models evolve, physicians and healthcare professionals must share and manage information from multiple and disparate sources. Multiple laboratory facilities, hospital organizations, payors, pharmacies, and other ancillary vendors are utilized depending on the physician and payor contracts. It's time to create clarity of the chaos. The Medicity cross-enterprise connectivity solution will be the first system that will truly simplify your complex healthcare needs.
