PHILADELPHIA - (Business Wire) Encoda announced today that Tanner Medical Group, a large multi-specialty physician group employed by Tanner Health System, has chosen Encoda
’s data warehouse and business analysis product--M/EDI
™ Information Generator.
Tanner Medical Group currently consists of 18 practices and bills for approximately 70 providers located throughout Western Georgia and Eastern Alabama. The Medical Group Administration and Staff, in concert with the staff and infrastructure provided by Tanner Health System, provide all operational and financial services necessary to initiate, maintain and sustain successful Medical Group Practices. In order to analyze and produce information from the enormous volume of data created within those client databases, Tanner turned to Encoda for the solution.
“In order to manage our business efficiently and effectively we are in constant need of information. We knew that our current Practice Management System captured most or all significant data elements. We needed a reliable solution for extracting that data in the method(s) and format(s) necessary to assist us in continuing to make pro-active financially sound decisions on behalf of the Health System and our Physicians and Practices,” said Debbi Peare, CFO of Tanner Medical Group. “With Encoda’s M/EDI™ Information Generator we will now be in a position to respond to all of our Reporting and Management needs with quick, reliable & uniquely structured data & information.”
The M/EDI™ Information Generator utilizes powerful enterprise-level tools from Oracle® and the easy-to-use functionality of Microsoft® Excel to enable practices to produce information that is complete and actionable. The database structure was designed specifically for the needs of medical delivery units.
The product comes with a number of standard reports such as the Velocity Report which tracks liquidation rates and the Watchdog Report which monitors the progress of claims through the submission, adjudication and payment cycle.
“Tanner Medical Group is a growing physician medical group that cannot be held back by inadequate tools. With the M/EDI™ Information Generator, their management team can now utilize a tool that will enable them to quickly do the analysis they need,” said Michael Lovett, Vice President of Business Development for Encoda. “The results can then be pushed out to their various constituents efficiently using their secure portal. This will save them considerable time, effort and materials each year.”
