Enhancements to Brightree Business Management Solution for Pharmacy Significantly Increase End-to-End Efficiencies

— Novel workflow improvements allow home infusion pharmacies to automate critical daily tasks and reduce manual burdens on staff

— New functionality is on display at Brightree’s booth (#407) at NHIA 2022, held March 12-16

More than one dozen new features, spanning intake through reimbursement, enable efficiency improvements and reduce manual data entry and errors, while expediting overall claims and reimbursement processes. Key enhancements include:

• Comprehensive Patient Intake – New customizable, role-driven workflows guide each staff member through their portion of the time-intensive patient intake process, with indicators for required information at each stage. This ensures critical information related to payer requirements, patient medications and more are captured upfront to reduce downstream errors, improve clinical interactions and make it easier to train staff regardless of role.
• Discharge and Patient Status Mechanisms – Two of several pharmacy workflow enhancements, these features help organizations maintain accurate records of patients on service, share discharge summaries with prescribers and trigger necessary actions that must be completed once a patient is discharged. This helps organizations meet expectations of accreditation bodies and improves communications with other providers in the care network, while lightening administrative workloads for home infusion organizations’ highest-paid resources.
• Contract Pricing – This revenue cycle tool allows providers to establish rule-based pricing that reflects unique payer contracts. Everything provided to patients, whether a prescription, a piece of equipment or a visit, is priced automatically and used throughout the workflow on test claims, delivery tickets and claims. This feature eliminates the burden of manually tracking and inputting published price updates from industry leaders, while maximizing the revenue opportunities that come from them.

“Home infusion pharmacies have to navigate a series of complex processes in order to get reimbursed for servicing their patients,” said Nupura Kolwalkar, Chief Product Officer at Brightree. “With the updates announced today, Brightree Business Management Solution for Pharmacy helps connect those otherwise disjointed workflows to revolutionize organizational efficiencies and pave the way for greater gains with fewer complications. These efficiency drivers are a key step in Brightree’s home infusion connected care vision and one we plan to build on throughout the year with further innovations to support providers from referral through payment.”

Brightree Business Management Solution for Pharmacy allows providers to measure productivity and operational efficiencies with customizable dashboards covering intake, pharmacy operations, nursing, billing and reimbursement. Providers are able to view and analyze trends to more accurately measure profitability, better understand their staffing needs and track progress on key business goals, among other benefits. Using Brightree’s customer application programming interfaces (APIs) and data-as-a-service offerings, providers can also leverage their data outside of Brightree.

Brightree Business Management Solution for Pharmacy also offers extensive connections to the broader healthcare ecosystem to help providers digitally communicate with their referral sources, streamline processes and ensure continuity and connectivity of care. This includes Brightree 340B Reporter, a robust web-based tool for managing 340B data, submissions to third-party administrators and reporting powered by an integration with MedEdge Solutions; an expansive integration with RelayHealth Pharmacy Solutions, part of McKesson’s CoverMyMeds solutions, allowing providers to access real-time claim and eligibility transactions and manufacturing assistance programs directly in Brightree; and an ePurchasing integration with Amerisource Bergen, among others.

These connections and features within Brightree Business Management Solution for Pharmacy will be on display at NHIA 2022, held in Nashville on March 12-16, 2022, at Brightree’s booth (#407). For more information, stop by or visit www.brightree.com/infusion.
