Products
Healthcare Organizations are taking a new approach to managing provider data. They are moving away from departmentalized software and seeking solutions that eliminate redundant data sources and optimize resources. New solutions must eliminate manual processes and redundant data entry as well as offer true electronic records and opportunities for integration that result in performance improvement for the plan, providers and patients. Reduced costs for implementation, maintenance, system administration and process improvement has driven a movement towards vendor-implemented solutions.
VIPsystem
The Vistar Imaging Profiler System (VIPsystem) offers a powerful core system with comprehensive end-to-end functionality for quality and provider data management. TheVIPsystem is a robust workflow solution that will streamline recruiting, credentialing, contracting, and ongoing monitoring and compliance and will provide a core source system for quality analysis, data access and reporting.
The best way to optimize resources is to provide a central repository for data collection, images and documents. The VIPsystem will be the enterprise data repository for all provider data and activity. Vistar provides sophisticated security to protect confidential data while providing full functionality for efficient processing of all types of healthcare providers. Data integrity is maximized with regular data updates, automated feeds and code driven database design. Web based search tools allow the data to be viewed by internal departments, providers, and other consumers as needed with minimal IT maintenance. Provider demographics and statuses can easily be accessed with powerful web based tools.
