ezDI™ Selected by Cayuga Medical Center to Implement Integrated Clinical Documentation Improvement (ezCDI™), Computer-Assisted Coding (ezCAC™) Solution, Coding Compliance and Analytics Tools

LOUISVILLE, Ky., January 10, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) is a progressive general hospital located in Ithaca, New York, serving the residents of Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Schuyler, Seneca, Tioga and Tompkins counties. The hospital has 212 beds in total and is one of the largest hospitals in the Finger Lakes region and the Southern Tier.

ezCAC™/ezCDI™ will enable Cayuga Medical Center physicians to effortlessly collaborate with Health Information Management, Coders and CDI staff, providing the highest degree of code assignment, clinical documentation integrity and coding compliance.

CMC was originally drawn to ezDI by its relationship with ACDIS and the further backing of the Iroquois Healthcare Alliance. The ezDI team has been very easy to work with and was able to demonstrate the user-friendliness and benefits of their cloud-based platform in addition to the detailed real-time analytics that the software provides. We look forward to reaping the benefits of the efficiencies that this product delivers and identifying opportunities to optimize our revenue cycle.

ezDI applications are more secure than traditional on-premise solutions with a dramatically lower total cost of ownership through the elimination of maintenance fees and upgrade costs and a significantly decreased effort to install and operate.

“We look forward to providing Cayuga Medical Center with our cognitive technologies to help improve the quality and efficiency of their clinical documentation,” said Terry Ciesla, executive vice president for ezDI. “There is a great deal of excitement here at ezDI as we expand the use of our CAC/CDI toolsets to providers. ezDI is leading the charge with cloud-based technologies and applications that are simple, clean and intuitive.” Terry further states, “Our applications are easily configured to work within a customer’s coding workflow and not the other way around, where CDI staff and coders must adapt workflow to conform to legacy applications.”
