University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (GME) Switches to MedHub

Ann Arbor, Michigan – MedHub, Inc., has recently concluded a deal with The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) to deploy its enterprise residency management system across all residency and fellowship programs, Graduate Medical Education and Hospital Finance.

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. The MedHub system also manages and documents daily resident and fellow activity required to drive Medicare reimbursement and affiliated institutional billing.

The deployment of MedHub at a hospital system the size of UIHC, will represent one of the largest and most complex installations of its system to date. Nearly 4,000 users across over 70+ residency and fellowship programs will interact with the MedHub system daily. Multiple institution specific requirements will be addressed to satisfy the unique requirements of UIHC.

The MedHub system provides diverse stakeholders real-time access to 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 is improved data quality, reduced redundant effort and enhanced collaboration.

Data managed by MedHub includes: complex 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. Institutional data managed and processed by MedHub include: payroll/funding input, affiliated institutional billing, Medicare reimbursement, contracts, FTE calculations, and auditing functions. MedHub stakeholders include residents, attending faculty, program administrators, Graduate Medical Education, Hospital Finance, paging, nurses and others.
