New Prescription Claims Adjudication Feature Provides Additional Support to Meta’s Patient Medication Safety Initiatives
FLORAL PARK, NY — April 20, 2010 — Meta, a supplier of comprehensive clinical information systems for the healthcare industry, announced today that it has gone live with a prescription claims adjudication feature for its MetaCare Rx™ solution at Navos, a Seattle-based provider of mental health solutions.
The new feature supports prescription claims adjudication for long term care and ambulatory patients. Also, by integrating with MetaCare Rx for inpatients, it converts orders to outpatient prescriptions and submits them accordingly. MetaCare Rx provides hospitals with an affordable and extremely powerful software solution through its comprehensive set of powerful-yet-flexible clinical modules.
Navos offers a full spectrum of mental health services to more than 6,000 people each year, from crisis intervention to inpatient psychiatric care to highly specialized outpatient services. The organization recently opened its Burien Heights Residences, which encompasses 22 units of safe and affordable housing and support services for low-income adults with serious and persistent mental illness.
“This new feature is one of many that we continue to add to support the continuum of care for our customers,” explained Sal Barcia, CEO of Meta. “MetaCare Rx, along with the other components of our MetaCare Enterprise suite of products, provides hospitals with a comprehensive, cost-effective clinical information system to meet their goals of patient quality and safety.”
By linking pharmacists, physicians and nurses to improve the delivery of patient care, MetaCare Rx integrates the workflow of every healthcare clinician involved in ordering and dispensing medications within the hospital environment. The solution offers unparalleled clinical screening, integrated references and superb intervention documentation capabilities.
