Dolbey Announces the Release of Fusion CAC(TM), Computer-Assisted Coding Solution

CONCORD, Ohio --(Business Wire)-- Dolbey announces the release of Fusion CAC(TM) powered by EMscribe(TM) for the hospital coding market. By utilizing advanced coding technology, Fusion CAC(TM) increases the efficiency and consistency of coding for both inpatient and outpatient charts.



Medical coding is the means of translating a patient's medical chart into numeric codes that will be used for billing by the care providers. This process requires skilled practitioners, already in high demand, to scan and read documents to create the medical billing codes. This manual process results in a lag time between when the coding can begin and when a bill is complete.

Fusion CAC(TM) is a new, computer-assisted coding solution that utilizes natural language processing (NLP) and exclusive patent-pending algorithmic software to electronically analyze entire medical charts to pre-code with both CPT procedure and ICD9 diagnostic nomenclatures. Manual coders, enhanced with the results of Fusion CAC(TM), easily approve or amend the automatic results to reduce effort by as much as 80%. This reduced effort translates directly to a reduction in the time between the patient's discharge and revenue capture.



The Fusion CAC(TM) solution utilizes the powerful and fast coding engine, EMscribe(TM), which is designed to integrate with a hospital's existing coding system.
