New Revenue Cycle Solution for Healthcare Enterprises: Global Works Systems, Inc. and GE Healthcare Announce a Partnership to Deliver Outsourced Patient Statement Production

April 23, 2007 -- Colchester, VT -- Global Works Systems, Inc., a leading provider of software and service solutions to users of premium healthcare systems, announced a partnership with GE Healthcare to provide a complete solution for outsourcing patient statements produced by GE’s Centricity Business Solution (formerly IDX Flowcast).

The combined solution provides their joint clients with “Patient Friendly” statement, integration with the GE Centricity Business Solutions (formerly IDX Flowcast), bulk mailing and reduced operational costs. Clients using the tool say that the easy to read statements clearly identify patient obligation, and facilitate faster payment. The reduction in customer service calls has enabled many clients to reallocate resources.

The seamless integration between the outsourced statement production and the revenue cycle management system offers clients a cost effective solution while retaining the benefits of tight integration between systems, including complete statement history viewing and demand print functionality. Leveraging technology and revenue cycle expertise, clients benefit from GE Healthcare’s high quality statement production and the flexible pricing model available from both vendors.
