MAITLAND, Fla. - Galvanon, an NCR Corp. company, announced that Adventist Health System (AHS), the largest not-for-profit, Protestant healthcare organization in the United States, has signed a contract to license Galvanon's patient self-service application suite.
Following an initial pilot, Winter Park, Fla.-based AHS plans to implement Galvanon's online self-service solutions, including Online BillPay and Pre-registration, at 25 of its 36 hospitals. The solutions are expected to help streamline daily interactions with patients.
Galvanon's Online BillPay is an automated bill-payment and presentment application that allows patients to inquire about the status of their accounts, update profiles and pay outstanding balances via a secure Web-based platform
Galvanon's Pre-registration gives patients the ability to register for appointments via the Web. All of the information patients enter into the application is passed along to the organization's registration system through Galvanon's common-server platform, which facilitates the seamless exchange of data between Galvanon's online patient self-service applications and AHS's back-end systems.
The agreement also has an option for AHS hospitals to implement additional patient self-service applications, including Galvanon's MediKiosk patient self-service check-in.
