Practice Management (PM) Integration
Build patient trust through displaying the patient context to employees with each patient’s visit history in view. Then delight them by scheduling patients directly into the PM faster and without errors. Send them links to schedule themselves in real-time at their own convenience. Patient registration, Intelligent Scheduling, and Patient Self-Scheduling are all built on integration with practice management. In addition to automated tools, the following information from the PM is displayed to agents as needed:

Messaging

Remove friction and frustration with messaging integration. Communication requirements present some of the largest hurdles in healthcare. Every communication medium has its own possible outcomes, timing for response, templates, and workflows around processing and retrying. Enormous time is spent relaying and tracking communications, whether this is paging an on-call providers, sending fax reports to the PCP, or creating tasks for the care team. CareDesk is able to automate all of these with Messaging Manager. The following integrations are supported:
Geolocation Services
Support unparalleled safety and service with geolocation services. Geolocation integration lets you:Calculate patient distance to referral practices
Assist patient with navigation to locations
E911 uses geo-location to connect to the right 911 for the patient

Instead of telling a patient to call 911 and hoping they do and can explain their possible emergency, your nurse can make an e911 call and get the appropriate 911 for the patient’s location.
Clinical Decision Support
Your employees will drive superior outcomes with world class clinical decision support. CareDesk’s Expert System can incorporate decision support for existing decision support libraries. We license best-in-class industry content for some of these:


Telephone Integration

CareDesk integrates with telephony systems at different layers, but the features supported are similar. Standard features are:

On incoming calls, CareDesk 'screen-pops' with the matching patient or patients.Phone/IVR system can pass originating number and telephone number dialed
Patients in CareDesk/EHR can be matched based on phone
A. If multi-matched, choices can be presented
B. If there are no matches, patient search can be presented. See EHR Integration for the search functionalityValues can be incorporated as preconditions for later choices
IVR choices made (e.g. “press 1 for scheduling”) can also be passed
Values passed to CareDesk can be incorporated as preconditions for later choices, such as auto-loading specific workflows
