University of Pittsburgh Medical Center uses Aurillion for self-service kiosks
January 29, 2008
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center has partnered with Aurillion to implement the Patient Automated Care Experience system. UPMC will deploy the system across its 19 hospitals, beginning with UPMC St. Margaret Hospital.
PACE is a self-service solution that allows patients to identify and register themselves for hospital appointments, and automates other elements of the registration process, such as insurance eligibility validation, completion of patient consent forms, co-pay collection and wayfinding. The PACE product combines a self-service kiosk with an easy-to-use interface. It delivers reduced registration times, improved data integrity, increased statistical capture and uninterrupted revenue cycle management for health care services.
"Aurillion brought to the table a technology that would grow with our patient self-service strategy, a wide range of choice in terms of the hardware it could support, and business philosophies and goals that matched our own," said Mark Hopkins, chief information officer for Academic and Community Hospitals at UPMC.
