Amkai, GHN-Online Join to Provide Comprehensive Information Management, Claims Submission for ASCs

Amkai, a developer of comprehensive information management systems for outpatient surgery providers, and GHN-Online, a leading provider of real-time, revenue-cycle management solutions for the healthcare industry, have joined to integrate their respective EMR and enterprise management solutions.

"Some of our ASC, surgical hospital, and affiliated physician and surgeon practice customers have been looking for an alternative information system solution that touches all aspects of healthcare delivery with a higher yield of return and superior functionality," says Azadeh Farahmand, the CEO of GHN-Online. "Our partnership with Amkai will deliver on both fronts."

Under the agreement, the two companies will build upon the existing interfaces between their core products and integrate the latest version of AmkaiEnterprise, a next-generation administrative and clinical software suite, with GHN?s Visum for real-time, end-to-end transaction processing. Visum is a revenue-cycle management solution that blends the right claims scrubbing and submission technologies with predictive analytic tools to streamline claims processing and accelerate remittance.

"Our companies share a vision of streamlining operations and boosting profitability for ASCs through end-to-end electronic information management," says Don Fallati, senior vice president, marketing for Amkai. "Working with GHN will help us offer customers complete automation and paperless processing from patient scheduling through claims processing. We believe such solutions are increasingly demanded by the market."
