New York, NY – Meta Health Technology, a leading provider of software solutions for health information management, has been awarded a 36-month contract by Premier Purchasing Partners, LP, the group purchasing unit of Premier, Inc. The new agreement, effective August 1, 2009, provides Premier’s more than 2,200 member hospitals and 63,000 additional healthcare sites with access to pre-negotiated pricing and terms for Meta’s patient chart abstracting and Electronic Physician Query software.
Meta’s PowerAbstract, the company’s flagship product, is a powerful medical record abstracting solution that streamlines the data collection process for both inpatient and outpatient visits and offers powerful reporting capabilities. In addition to its broad base of customers in the United States, the ICD-10 ready PowerAbstract software is also installed at major healthcare facilities in Canada, where the ICD-10 system is already in use.
Meta’s Electronic Physician Query software, introduced in 2007, was developed in response to a widespread hospital initiative to improve the quality of clinical documentation. The product automates and expedites the physician query process for hospitals by closing the loop between the coder or CDI Specialist and the physician. Electronic Physician Query delivers improved clinical documentation and improved reimbursement, delivering an immediate return on investment in the software.
