Cedars-Sinai selects TKG for quality assurance at patient registration

TKG Healthcare Technology Solutions has signed an agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in New York City, to provide web-based quality assurance for their patient access needs.

The Orlando, Fla.-based TKG said its web-based hospital registration system, registration quality improvement (RQi), will enable Cedars-Sinai to improve admissions accuracy and reduce errors prior to patient discharge and billing.

The company said its RQi is an automated front-end healthcare registration data quality solution using Six Sigma process improvement methods to detect and flag registration errors for correction upon admission and prior to discharge and billing. Operating with a patent-pending rules engine and customized set of business rules, TKG said its RQi implementation team customizes each system on site.
