Health Information Systems
3M Health Information Systems took the first step toward marrying
the language-based science of medicine with the digital
science--and power--of computers in the early 1980s. We developed
classification systems and corresponding computer software that
enabled health care organizations to accurately and consistently
code and analyze the language of health care.
Based on this early involvement and the clinical expertise within
the company, 3M Health Information Systems has become the premier
developer and refiner of new methodologies for classifying
medical information.
At 3M Health Information Systems nearly 80 percent of our
workforce is dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction through
effective installation, training, and troubleshooting. In
addition, they work in cross-functional teams to gather and
analyze user and market data to drive product updates and
enhancements.
3M Coding System for Windows
Coding is a complicated process. Within the ever-changing
universe of health care standards and classifications, it is
difficult to stay current on the latest ICD-9-CM/CCP code
exceptions and changes never mind the new ICD-10 classification
codes. By utilizing the logic and power of the computer,
combined with the unique 3M expert systems functionality, you'll
find your coding and grouping becomes more accurate and
consistent, and your reimbursement increases.
With the 3M Coding System for Windows and 3M Coding Reference
Software, your coders will find themselves having fun while
coding. Have an anatomy question related to a procedure? Jump
into the BodyWorks reference for a multimedia explanation. Want
to add a footnote to a code in the ICD-9-CM/CCP tabular? Open
the notes window and stick it in there, a digital Post-it note
of sorts. Its ease of use makes the system approachable for
coders of all experience levels.
3M Health Data Management for Windows
Take charge of your clinical data. 3M Health Record Management
Software is a comprehensive database for storing all your coding,
abstracted and special studies. It reduces the time it takes to
capture patient records, code diagnoses and procedures, and
retrieve attestations. And it increases the productivity of your
health records staff by combining coding and abstracting
functions and automating the report writing functions. Every
element of the software is designed to put you in complete
control of your health record information.
Reports can easily be generated in many formats, including
summary (with graphics), listing, and detailed display. Create
anything from an administrative summary and critical care unit
profile to coder productivity studies and case mix analysis.
The 3M Health Data Management Software captures and stores all
your clinical data and generates customized reports, so you have
a comprehensive picture of what's going on in your hospital at
all times. For the first time, you can have complete and instant
access to all your automated clinical information.
