When your healthcare organization is searching for new technology, you want to find applications that are as effective across your enterprise as they are in one department, so that you'll see a lasting return on investment. ImageNow enterprise document management, imaging and workflow integrates with all Horizon and Pathways modules and all other McKesson applications, giving users in clinical and administrative departments across the enterprise single-click access to the documents they need to complete daily tasks.
Elimination of manual duties such as filing, photocopying, file cabinet searches and re-filing charts gives staff more time to focus on meeting patients' needs. The unique ImageNow integration approach supports all current and future versions of McKesson, allowing you get the most from your current document management investment with minimal cost.
Healthcare organizations worldwide, including St. Luke's Health System, North Kansas City Hospital and St. John Clinical Pathology Laboratories use ImageNow to extend the value of their McKesson systems.
ImageNow's patented LearnMode™ technology facilitates rapid integration with McKesson and any other application without requiring a single line of code, greatly decreasing deployment time and cost.
LearnMode uses key data from captured documents and your McKesson system to link each scanned or imported chart component to an existing patient record, allowing users across your enterprise to instantly retrieve supporting information from their McKesson screens. The results are more informed and timely patient care, a faster revenue cycle and increased productivity.
WebNow, the browser-based companion to ImageNow, gives physicians, coders and other employees working from remote locations the same convenient document access without having to install the full ImageNow client.
ImageNow can integrate with HL7-compliant McKesson systems across your enterprise. This enables your organization to build links to chart components within the McKesson system. When a chart component is imported into ImageNow, ImageNow sends an HL7 message to the McKesson application, which receives it and builds a link to the document. When a user accesses the patient record, they can instantly access the document via WebNow by simply clicking the link. Additional information, such as which user scanned the document and when it was scanned, can also be automatically sent from ImageNow to McKesson.
ImageNow can also receive HL7 messages from McKesson, automatically facilitating common tasks such as the merging of duplicate patient accounts, elimination of an outdated chart component or changing a patient’s name on that individual's ImageNow documents. This integrated approach eliminates the time and errors associated with manually updated patient information.
ImageNow Message Agent integrates with the McKesson Horizon WP physician portal to provide doctors with instant access to chart components from the familiar McKesson environment. This server-side integration frees physicians from the physical limitations of paperwork, enabling them to make diagnoses and complete other tasks from any location.
ImageNow Enterprise Service Bus enables ImageNow to initiate a request of the McKesson portal system as the result of an action taken within ImageNow. For example, creating a new transaction in Horizon WP would be automatically initiated when ImageNow processes a new document, eliminating manual data entry into the Horizon WP system.
ImageNow can also combine with systems from third-party vendors to offer embedded document management features within McKesson systems. This enables users to launch document scanning from McKesson application screens. When the documents are scanned into ImageNow and indexing information such as MRN and visit number is entered, ImageNow generates an HL7 message and sends it to the McKesson HIS. Using the received information, the McKesson application builds a document link. Later, when a user selects the link within the patient record, the document will be immediately displayed in WebNow. This integrated approach enables users to get the patient information they need without leaving their familiar McKesson environment.
ImageNow automatically captures report streams from McKesson applications, separates reports by patient name and/or account number and associates individual documents to patient records for easy retrieval. Automatic alerts let you know when reports are missing, ensuring complete documentation is collected for every patient. This seamless process eliminates the cost of printing hard copies and saves time for your HIM and clinical staff.
