2.0 Project Overview
Northland Medical Group Integration Project (NMGIP) will streamline data input, access, and updates to patient medical records as they move thorough the patient treatment and billing processes. The integrated system will restructure how medical data is entered and maintained thus eliminating redundant data entry and allowing real-time access to data by all participating entities. The project will also integrate results from third-party testing labs so all results will be available to care givers on a more timely schedule. As medical procedures are entered at the source the medical codes will automatically associate the cost of each procedure and build an itemized, constantly updated billing statement to submit to insurance companies. The integrated system will provide state-of-the art electronic medical records and prevent the typical lag between treatment and billing.
