Ann Arbor, Michigan – Today, MedHub, Inc., signed an agreement with Kaiser Permenente, Northern California to deploy its MedHub enterprise residency management system across all residency and fellowship programs, Graduate Medical Education and hospital finance.
The agreement with Kaiser Permanente represents the 4th major institution to switch from a competitor’s system to MedHub’s enterprise-only residency management system in the past 8 months.
The MedHub system is an integrated web-based suite of modules developed to improve communication, information workflow and reporting for physician training and residency program accreditation.
MedHub provides diverse stakeholders real-time access to critical information essential to the management of their respective specialized tasks. MedHub replaces multiple databases and ad hoc processes with a single workflow centered unified database. Stakeholders will use MedHub to document activities, manage tasks and streamline workflow. The return on investment is improved data quality, reduced redundant effort and better documentation in a very highly regulated environment.
Residency and fellowship program data managed by MedHub includes: complex real-time rotation, shift, call and clinic schedules, faculty and resident demographics, resident evaluations, case logs/medical procedures, didactic conference management, resident duty hours and document management. A myriad of complex tasks is driven by elegant workflow through task-based algorithms.
Enterprise-wide data managed and processed by MedHub includes: payroll/funding input, affiliated institutional billing, Medicare reimbursement, contracts, FTE calculations, and auditing functions.
With over 200 in-house physician trainees and over 700 rotators training at KP from institutions such as Stanford University, The University of California – Davis, The University of California at San Francisco and others, Kaiser Permanente represents a unique challenge in pulling multiple affiliates into a single unified system to handle complex scheduling and Medicare reimbursement requirements. Nearly 4,000 total users with interact with the Medhub system on a regular basis. MedHub stakeholders include residents, attending faculty, program administrators, Graduate Medical Education, Hospital Finance, paging, nurses and others.
