Cabinet NG Helps Surgery Centers Recover from Paper Overload

ATHENS, Ala., April 20, 2005 – Cabinet NG, Inc. today announced that outpatient surgery centers nationwide are adopting the company's eForms (CNG-Forms) automated document work system at a record clip. These new customers are finding the Cabinet NG solution to be an excellent alternative to traditional emergency medical records (EMR) systems due to its cost effectiveness and ability to adapt to the processes and procedures already in place. In the past six-months, CNG-Forms has emerged as the leading solution for automating the patient chart creation process, improving patient chart accuracy, plus satisfying documentation regulation requirements. The end result is an improved, effortless, and automated electronic document management environment.

Like most health care provider organizations, surgery centers contend on a daily basis with how to simultaneously achieve optimal operational efficiency while maintaining the highest quality patient care. CNG-Forms helps these organizations make their document management processes efficient, streamlined and intuitive so they can spend more quality time on patient care, and less effort on paperwork.

 "All health care facilities want to reduce costs while providing the very best in patient care," said Andrew Bailey, President of Cabinet NG. "CNG-Forms enables outpatient health care facilities to transform their existing paper-based process into a highly efficient and simple to manage electronic process. By eliminating the paper bottleneck, health care centers can focus their energies on what really matters: The patient."

For example, CNG-Forms software is being implemented by the Newport Coast Surgery Center, based in Newport Beach, CA, to replace paper-based medical records, as well as automating patient check-in and clinical documentation. This will dramatically improve Newport's patient workflow process.

Newport Coast Surgery reports impressive ROI figures based on its most recent estimates

• Eliminating prior expense of $35,000 per year for labels, printing and paper patient charts 
• Regaining two hours per day of lost time preparing patient billing
• Populating a patient's chart automatically with all the necessary electronic forms at registration
• Slashing a full five minutes off the per patient registration process
• Supporting growth without needing to add headcount

"We chose Cabinet NG's CNG-Forms product because of its ease-of-use and speed of implementation, as well as its ability to augment and easily integrate with our existing information management solutions. CNG-Forms is a great product that enabled us to become a far more efficient and productive organization, and Cabinet NG ensured that CNG-Forms was customized for our needs," said Elizabeth Prather, Operations Manager for Newport Coast Surgery Center.

Prather added, "For example, Newport creates new registration and charts for each patient, whether or not the patient is new to our practice, in order to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date patient information. By automating data entry and integrating with our pre-existing practice and EMR solutions, CNG-Forms enabled us to bring all the elements together, and save time and money while providing the best patient care possible."

In addition to the Newport Coast Surgery Center, other recently acquired surgery center clients include TrueMRI, Memorial Endoscopy, and Cedar Oaks.
