Change Healthcare announced InterQual AutoReview, a software-as-a-service tool that can be used to automate parts of the medical review process.
Change showed an early version of InterQual AutoReview last year at HIMSS17 and will be publicly demonstrating the product, now generally available, at HIMSS18 in Las Vegas.
The company said InterQual AutoReview enables clinicians to submit an order with their EHR workflow and the cloud-based service creates a medical necessity review and, in turn, synchronizes with the case management system.
Change added that it worked with Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Delaware to conduct beta testing of InterQual AutoReview before releasing the final version.
That testing aimed to help clinicians admit patients properly to the emergency department.
“If we can fully automate even a third of our medical reviews, that would be a substantial boost to our admission utilization management efficiency,” Christiana Vice President of Care Management Patty Resnik said in a statement.
Change will be in Booth 4202 at HIMSS18.
