Florida medical group streamlines processes with kiosks
September 10, 2008
TAMPA BAY, Fla. — LoCicero Medical Group has added two Clearwave kiosks to its merging practices in Tampa Bay, Fla.
According to a news release, the medical-services provider uses the kiosks to streamline administrative processes by efficiently managing its front desk and financial operations. All of LoCicero's patients use the kiosks to check in and verify eligibility.
"As our practice expands, Clearwave is an important component of making our patient flow work better for new and existing patients," said Nick Galantino, office administrator of LoCicero Medical Group. "Because Clearwave also improves the collection of patient information, 'The Medical Management One' side of our practice has been able to cultivate its billing operations to provide better services to our clients."
Clearwave simplifies healthcare administration for patients, providers, payors and employers with a combination of technology and industry expertise. Using Web-based kiosks as a starting point, Clearwave's patent-pending network is able to efficiently exchange patient, insurance, payment and other healthcare-related information in a HIPAA-compliant and secure manner, reducing administrative costs, time and errors.
