CLARK, N.J., March 4, 2009 – DB Technology, a recognized leader in the field of automated document management and workflow software, is assisting its hospital clients in meeting the new Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Red Flag Regulations. With recently announced enhancements to its Enterprise RAS document management software, customers who use Enterprise RAS for image and forms management at registration will be able to capture the patient’s image at each visit and compare those pictures against the patient being registered.

Beginning May 2, 2009, the FTC will require all healthcare providers develop programs to protect against identity theft in compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flag regulations as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. Healthcare organizations also are required to implement policies and technologies to ensure patients do not receive improper care or are incorrectly diagnosed due to compromised electronic medical records with information from other patients.

“The FTC’s Identity Theft Red Flag Regulations create an important opportunity for healthcare providers to protect consumers and patients from the detrimental impact of insurance fraud and medical identity theft,” according to Angelo Schittone, chief information officer for Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark, NJ. “DB Technology has anticipated our hospital’s need to implement measures to adhere to these regulations.”

Among the new regulations, healthcare organizations are required to have in place policies on authenticating patient identities and reporting. With new photo embedding technology integrated into RASi, a patient registrar can take the patient’s photo and embed that image into documents placed in an electronic patient folder, providing an easily accessible method to authenticate identity. In subsequent hospital visits, if the registrar finds the photo does not match the patient, a simple click of a button will mark that the patient’s identity is in question. Reports of all patients with questionable identities can be generated, satisfying the reporting requirements of the Red Flag Regulations.

“Assisting our customers in the utilization of the best automation solutions possible is the number one priority of DB Technology, and we are constantly seeking ways that our customers can realize further value from both data automation and enterprise content management,” says DB Technology’s Chief Executive Officer Charlie Wilson. “This new technology enables our customers to streamline registration and identification processes while ensuring electronic medical records and patient privacy are protected.”

In addition to secure identity checking at registration, DB Technology has expanded the use of photographs to its forms library application e-Forms. Customers will now be able to include photographs on wristbands and other forms to assist in clinical identification processes. Now when the physical therapist arrives at the patient’s bed, the therapist will be able to match the photograph on the PT order with the photograph on the patient’s wrist band.

In addition to the FTC’s Identity Theft Red Flag Regulations, DB Technology’s customers are also realizing the benefits of implementing automated document management software designed to work with the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as legal discovery and other compliance programs. Enterprise RAS provides RAC auditors, or any other type of payor auditor, remote access to specific records.

With Enterprise RAS, healthcare organizations benefit from improved revenue cycles that come with increased efficiencies in workflow automation, minimized paper trails, shortened accounting cycles, streamlined operations, and enhanced HIPAA regulatory compliance.

CLARK, N.J., August 20, 2008 – The daily challenges facing a medical center are numerous. From handling incoming patient registration to securing proper documentation and identification for use in the back office accounting and remittance procedures, the paper intensity found in many healthcare facilities is at times, overwhelming.

Printing multiple copies of paper reports that need to reach specific employees in specific departments in a specified period of time can all too easily become a colossal problem. Add to this deluge of documents the fact that these many pieces of papers – sometimes reams of paper – need to be separated, collated and then hand delivered to key individuals throughout the organization and you have a reporting records challenge to state the least.

Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) located in Kingman, Arizona, was well aware of the issues surrounding document management. As a well-respected 235-bed regional healthcare facility, they have a keen understanding of what is needed to provide the right information to the right department at the right time. The ability to keep accurate and timely records is a crucial step in providing optimized patient care. Being able to archive data so that reports could easily be retrieved was a key goal of the KRMC Information Systems (IS) department and they found such a solution in DB Technology’s flagship software, Report Automation System (RAS).

A recognized leader in automated information and report distribution solutions, DB Technology, enabled KRMC’s IS and Materials Management departments to easily gather and organize data from disparate computer systems and to capture this data in a single repository for easy, fast and unencumbered access. Utilizing DB Technology’s RAS software, years of dusty binders on sagging shelves have been replaced with an online easy to view and access state-of-the art document management system.

“Try to imagine the scope involved in having to print multiple copies of paper reports that need to reach a host of employees spread out over dozens of hospital departments,” said Barry Moore, director of accounting for KRMC. “Compound this scenario with printers jamming and reports being misplaced, misfiled or lost before reaching the employees who need direct and timely access to the information – and what you have is a paper silo nightmare,” he added.

KRMC was in need of an easy to use, cost effective solution that would enable reports and documents to seamlessly be archived and easily retrievable by authorized personnel. The ability to easily capture, access, process and distribute information and simultaneously eliminate the costly process of manual labor were key components of what KRMC was looking for in a document management solution.

“Getting a handle on paper expenditures while providing accurate and timely report information to accounting and other departments is critical to long term financial viability, and it is something that we pride ourselves on at DB Technology,” said David Wechsler, president and CEO of DB Technology. “We are honored to be working with Kingman Regional Medical Center and are pleased to witness the benefits that RAS technology brings to their facility.”

Utilizing DB Technology’s RAS technology, KRMC is now able to easily store and retrieve reports that are available in user-friendly electronic folders that can be viewed historically and can also be filtered, sorted and integrated into the healthcare provider’s Monarch data mining software.

“We wanted an archival system so that reports would be available to be viewed for an extended length of time, and we needed a system that was compatible with our existing data mining Monarch software,” said Moore. “RAS was the only system able to address all of the issues in a single solution,” he added.

Additionally, the healthcare provider credits DB Technology’s RAS software with:

“With RAS, reports can now easily be sent electronically reducing the paper burden and reprinting of a motley collection of reports. For example, monthly expense reports used to be printed and managers would have to write on them to justify expenditures. Now, these documents are available on RAS, enabling managers to electronically send a report to accounting. The bottom line is a huge cost savings in time, paper and manual labor,” stated Moore.

Today, KRMC is running a seamless back office that excels in customer satisfaction and improved back office processing. “We credit DB Technology with providing us an easy to use, easy to maintain solution that is backed by optimized security and superior customer service. Paper silos are a thing of the past,” he added.

CLARK, N.J., June 19, 2008 – DB Technology, a recognized leader in automated information and report distribution solutions, today announced results from an audit which it conducted to measure how much its healthcare customers can save on average with the use of its innovative Report Automation System (RAS) software technology. DB Technology compiled data from a variety of studies including Gartner and PricewaterhouseCoopers and created an internal audit designed to help their clients quantify the actual cost savings using the RAS software platform.

For example, DB Technology estimates that the cost savings to a 200-bed healthcare facility is $1.2 million within the first year alone after the installation of the RAS system. This represents a 25 percent cost reduction just within the first twelve months. Over a five year period, that same hospital could realize savings of $4 million.

DB Technology has an established history of working with the healthcare industry and understands first hand how difficult it can be to not only integrate data across disparate systems, but how to then allow these documents to be easily accessed by the right individuals within the right departments. It’s a story that repeats itself on a daily basis and continues to plague the business world: how do you minimize paper trails, shorten accounting cycles and streamline operations?

DB Technology undertook a study of its healthcare clients to gauge just how effective an automated software solution can be in streamlining back office processes including paper usage and onsite file data storage. The company’s software modules which include RAS and its related imaging component known as RASi, have been utilized by a host of healthcare facilities in search of streamlining costs and optimizing back office processes.

“Our approach to solving the ‘paper silo’ issue has been to create a common ground where data from a variety of systems in a variety of formats can be seamlessly integrated to produce meaningful results that can be used by management to make solid business decisions,” said David Wechsler, president and CEO of DB Technology. “RAS effectively enables organizations to maximize corporate revenue by decreasing costs associated with the myriad of paper-oriented revenue cycle processes. When you add the imaging component, RASi, the financial gains are even more astounding.”

DB Technology studied data from its healthcare clients and began to look closely at elements that could be measured – tangibles where the implementation of RAS and RASi had a direct impact on the bottom line. Utilizing data from Gartner, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the State of Wisconsin, as well as the American Journal of Medicine and Healthcare Financial Management, the software company designed a series of strategic planning assumptions for healthcare facilities. The company created scenarios for 100, 200, 400 and 600-bed hospitals utilizing certain criteria to ascertain on average how much a hospital could anticipate saving on a yearly basis.

DB Technology made certain cost assumptions, including the percentage of misfiled or lost documents, the time it takes to pull a chart from storage, the percentage of charts needed to be photocopied for release of information processes, annual paper and printing costs, labor costs for assembling, retrieving, photocopying and re-keying data and data file storage costs.

The company’s flagship software solution provides healthcare organizations big and small, the ability to easily unify, search and gain value from documents stored across any and all disparate sources. And now, these hospitals can put a quantifiable figure with just how much they are saving.

With the RAS software along with its host of customizable modules, hospitals and healthcare facilities can benefit from improved revenue cycles that come with increased efficiencies. DB Technology researched the impact that RASi, the imaging component of RAS, had on a hospital’s bottom line. RASi is used to facilitate document management and workflow in a variety of settings including accounting, remittance and other back office processes as well as for purchasing and patient registration.

Figure 1 represents the estimated cost savings for paper, labor, supplies and file storage for a 200-bed hospital using RAS and RASi over a twelve month period.

“In the back office, there are three main cost centers that are the nemesis to many a CFO,” said Wechsler. “These are costs for labor, paper and printing, physical storage of data files – everything from patient registration to remittance information – someone has to process this material, sift through the files to find the information and then copy it for the appropriate departments who need access to the data,” he added.

“With RASi, we not only simplify the document management process, but we actually enable hospitals to realize dramatic cost savings upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the course of a few years, across any and all disparate sources,” noted Wechsler. “We have the capabilities to help organizations across a host of industries leverage existing information in a painless, efficient manner,” he added.

The company’s flagship product offering, RAS is a suite of scalable and flexible automation modules, enabling corporations to easily streamline and manage the paper cycle. RAS automatically transforms data into actionable information by capturing data from any application without the use of interfaces. Once captured the information is easily searched and retrieved in a secure environment. RASi, which adds a scanning component to the platform, automatically captures and organizes valuable information and converts it into digital format, which is easier to manage and distribute.

DB Technology’s latest version of the RAS software, RAS 3.28, is designed to address the critical function of financial and operational information capture and report distribution, which in hospitals spans everything from patient registration to remittance. RASi complements RAS with document imaging and scanning capabilities that manages electronic and hardcopy patient accounting and clinical reports and documents from disparate systems. The information is stored in an electronic patient folder (EPF) for easy retrieval and distribution.

A new feature of RAS is the RAS eForms module which eliminates the need for pre-printed forms and the stacks of paper on which they are created. RAS eForms can create bar-coded forms, including patient ID bands, making it easy to keep all actionable data in one electronic patient folder, eliminating many manual processes.

The RAS software suite easily integrates with leading healthcare and financial information systems including Epic, Cerner, Siemens, MEDITECH, McKesson, QuadraMed, PeopleSoft, and Lawson.

CLARK, N.J., June 10, 2008 –   The hospitality industry today finds itself searching for technology designed to help it conquer the burgeoning world of paper.  How do you effectively manage and process data across a host of different computer platforms across too many diverse departments and operational units – none of it easily accessible?  The unique nature of the hospitality industry as a 24/7 environment means data needs to be available instantaneously.  How does a night manager easily gather metrics on occupancy rates, guest arrivals and departures, and a slew of other pieces of information without sifting through reams of paper?

The hospitality industry requires solutions that can capture and archive critical guest data in an easy-to-use, easy to understand manner.  This is sometimes easier said than done. Today, hotel properties want to be able to seamlessly access key business indicators without having to sift through mountains of paper.  They want quick and painless access to the material they need when they need it.

DB Technology, a recognized leader of automated information management and reporting solutions has been providing cost-effective and easy-to-use solutions to the hotel industry for close to twenty-five years.  The company’s innovative flagship product, Report Automation System (RAS) is a suite of scalable and flexible automation modules, designed to allow hotels and other hospitality properties including health clubs and spas to easily streamline and manage the paper cycle that often runs rampant across these organizations.

 How is this accomplished?  By leveraging standard print stream technology to pull data into the RAS system where the real magic begins.  The simplicity of the RAS approach is ingenious and the value of aggregating information for streamlined processes and better decisions goes straight to the bottom line, a closely watched number in the hospitality arena.

“The hospitality industry is in need of an optimized method for capturing and archiving information –  from night audit reports, to guest charges and vendor invoices –  that can then be utilized by other departments in a painless and efficient manner,” noted David Wechsler, president and CEO of DB Technology. “Our RAS solution enables authorized individuals to easily monitor access and view activity within the hotel property.  With RAS, the once laborious process of reconciling the night audit has been streamlined, eliminating paper and making the audit stream a painless procedure.  With the addition of Scan-to-RAS, virtually any paper document can be turned into a searchable PDF file, eliminating the need for paper,” he added.

Today, hundreds of hotel properties around the country are leveraging the powerful tools of RAS in everything from property management systems to point-of-sale and payroll systems.  RAS can capture, process and quickly make the information accessible to those who need it. Hotels benefiting from DB Technology’s RAS solution include the Global Hyatt Corporation, one of the world’s premier hotel companies, with over 735 hotels and resorts in more than 44 countries; the Four Seasons, a leading luxury hotel company with 75 hotels in 31 countries as well as the Beverly Hills Hotel a luxury, five-star hotel.

“We are helping hotels address the pain of managing endless streams of paper with a secure, optimized and automated document management suite that is designed to minimize paper trails, shorten the accounting cycle and streamline operations,” said Wechsler. “With RAS, hotels can easily monitor, access and view daily activity.  Its security structure ensures that guest data is kept private and available only to authorized users.”
