The tie up will enable MEDecision to help its healthcare payer and provider customers transition to, comply with and capitalize on the industry’s forthcoming ICD-10 requirements.
As per the terms of the agreement, MEDecision will include HLI’s Language Engine (LE) into its collaborative health management portfolio to accelerate the transition to the ICD-10 coding system, which goes into effect on 1 October 2013.
The web service platform synergies between the companies’ technologies will allow for faster and easier integration with customers’ systems, regardless of their technology platforms.
Additionally, LE’s mapping capability and web service integration will hasten the crosswalk from ICD-9 to ICD-10 and streamline integration through existing translations, HLI’s provider friendly terminology and customized mapping when necessary.
HLI CEO George Schwend said combining the capabilities with their solutions gives users powerful tools for navigating changing regulations and evolving market forces to establish systems and processes that foster growth and a competitive advantage.
