Introduction

 

While InHCc believes that the Individual is most important, the organization must be sustainable. The InHCc System  is not an Accounting or Finance system, however, it does include, by necessity, certain accounting functions that can be used as it or interfaced with any good relational data base Financial/Accounting system. Our recommendation is to purchase a good "all purpose" Financial and Accounting" Packaging that is dedicated full to Financial Accounting and Cost Accounting. All healthcare systems that we have encountered that had a "Financial component" were very weak on all Management Financial and Accounting Functions.

 

What InHCc HMIS does offer is better data to calculate the accounting and financial information that is required. Without good time recordings of time and work flow, a cost accounting system by itself is useless. The InHCc HMIS has a very good "fraud detection" system, an "exception" report, a "missing process" report, as well as very detail data on start-end times of every process, who perform the process, when, and where.  Using InHCc HMIS this data can be compared across units, organizations, and "bench-mark" data to determine the quality and performance of the organization.

 

Since, the InHCc HMIS collects all details of all procedures, charges can be more easily captured at the point of encounter. If processes are not recorded in detail, it makes no matter how good the "charge engine" is...it will fail to pick up the charge.

 

Accounting and Finance

  • Accounting General Ledger Coding (assignment of General Ledger codes). This will be developed in order to calculate the cost of services. The existing systems do not give enough detail to be able to plan.

Health Care Organization operational data

  • Revenues by department

  • Revenues by health care professional

Billing, Invoicing and Statement Accounting

  • Billing and Charges

  • Order Cancellation

  • Adjustments

  • Invoicing

  • Client and Household Balances

  • Accounting Audit

Purchasing and Inventory Control

In general, in a healthcare organization, it does little good to record inventory "Sales" if that sale is not verified. It is all too easily for an employee to "pocket" a drug or supply item instead of giving it to the intended patient. The InHCc HMIS records not only the "sale" but also to whom, by whom, when, where, and why.

  • Requisitions and Purchasing

  • Product Maintenance and Inventory Management

  • Product movement at each transfer point in detail (Department, Healthcare Professional, Client, Diagnosis, Date/Time)

  • Resource Management

Resource Management
