Integration Made Easy: Understanding Data Feeds in Healthcare by MediMobile

Seamless integration between different systems is essential to ensure accurate, timely, and efficient data flow. At MediMobile, we prioritize streamlining this process, making integration effortless and error-free for healthcare providers and medical billing companies. Two of the most critical types of data feeds we work with are ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer) and MDM (Medical Data Management) feeds.

But what exactly are ADT and MDM feeds, and how do they work?

What Are ADT Feeds?

ADT feeds are the backbone of patient movement within a healthcare facility. Every time a patient is admitted, discharged, or transferred within a hospital or clinic, an ADT feed is generated to track their movements. These feeds are crucial for keeping real-time patient records updated across various healthcare systems.

For instance, an ADT feed allows the billing department to know when a patient has been discharged and which services they received. With MediMobile’s seamless integration, ADT feeds ensure that all necessary data is captured accurately, preventing lost charges and improving the overall revenue cycle.

Key Features of ADT Feeds:

  • Tracks patient movement in real time (admissions, discharges, transfers).
  • Automates communication between departments to ensure accurate billing.
  • Enhances patient safety by providing up-to-date information for clinical teams.

What Are MDM Feeds?

MDM feeds, or Medical Data Management feeds, focus more on the clinical side of the data integration process. These feeds capture detailed medical information, such as lab results, imaging reports, and clinical documentation. For automated coding systems like MediMobile’s Genesis, MDM feeds provide the rich data necessary for accurate charge capture and code generation.

MDM feeds are crucial in optimizing coding accuracy, which ultimately maximizes reimbursement while reducing coder workloads. With our advanced AI and machine learning algorithms, MediMobile’s system analyzes MDM feeds to ensure that no revenue is left behind and that documentation errors are minimized.

Key Features of MDM Feeds:

  • Captures detailed clinical information (lab results, clinical notes, etc.).
  • Feeds into automated coding systems to ensure precise charge capture.
  • Reduces coding errors by providing comprehensive data to the system.

How MediMobile Simplifies Integration

Integration sounds complex, but MediMobile makes it straightforward and hassle-free. We work closely with healthcare IT teams to ensure that data feeds are integrated smoothly into our system. Whether you’re dealing with ADT or MDM feeds, MediMobile’s technology seamlessly absorbs the data, ensuring no hiccups in your billing or clinical documentation processes.

Benefits of MediMobile Integration:

  • Effortless Setup: Our team handles the integration process, minimizing disruption to your current workflows.
  • Real-Time Updates: Data feeds are updated in real time, ensuring that all departments have access to the most current patient information.
  • Error Reduction: Automating the data feed process reduces the chance of human error in manual entry and ensures more accurate charge capture and coding.
  • Optimized Workflows: Streamlining ADT and MDM feeds into one system helps eliminate redundancies, freeing up valuable time for clinicians and coders alike.

Data integration can often feel like a daunting task. But with MediMobile, integrating ADT and MDM feeds is a breeze, allowing providers to focus on what matters most: delivering excellent patient care. By automating and simplifying these processes, MediMobile ensures that no data is lost and no revenue is left unclaimed.
