Streamlining and upgrading documentation in
Inpatient and Outpatient settings

A smarter way to create more comprehensive,
more precise patient documentation.
In less time. (Really.)

It can directly affect:
Quality. Outcomes. Reimbursement.

Your CFO, and your CDI teams may actually applaud.

Digest a patient’s EMR history in minutes. (No sifting, no deciphering.)

The goal is to use Retrieve on all admissions to the hospital. It is well know that 75-95% of hospital admissions come through the ED. When a patient arrives in the ED, you already know the presenting issue. The immediate problem.

But with our Retrieve Dx/MDM app you ALSO get relevant context and history. Immediately.

The Retrieve Dx/MDM software automatically does an intelligent search of your patient’s medical records (past and present) on your EPIC, Cerner, Meditech or other EMR system.

It goes through labs, notes, imaging reports, whatever is in the EMR.

You are instantly alerted to issues that could affect your medical decision-making, the number and complexity of problems, data to be reviewed and , potential risks, your next steps.

You get a rundown that you can review instantly.

It highlights previous diagnoses, pre-existing issues, co-morbid conditions (CCs), major co-morbid conditions (MCCs), abnormal results, potential risk factors.

There’s no need to scroll through pages and pages of raw EMR. It’s already distilled for you.

For any of the issues highlighted, you can immediately zoom in to see the actual note, the actual results — in context — in the original EMR. You have instant access to the source data.

And it gets better.

Documentation and charting made less annoying. More profitable.

We get it. No one likes documenting, charting, paperwork. It’s a nuisance, a drain on time and attention. Especially busy physicians.

(Retrieve is designed by physicians for physicians)

But the reality is, a great deal hinges on the quality of clinical documentation: everything from physician fees to facility revenue, reimbursements, metrics, ratings and even careers.

What you document in the EMR really matters. To you, your patients, and your hospital. Now more than ever, you need to be really good at this.

That is exactly where Retrieve Medical will help.

We offer proven IT tools that allow physicians to produce more detailed, more complete documentation that will satisfy CMS documentation guidelines or the 2023 Physician Fee Schedule and requirements.

It helps assure that billings and payments are accurate, appropriate, and reflect the complexity of the care delivered.

All with less drudgery, and 92% less irritation.*

And, in less time.

*Consolidated estimate per anecdotal reports from physicians who actually use Retrieve every day.

Document anything with one click. Maybe two.

With Retrieve Dx/MDM, you simply review the issues flagged by the search. You decide what’s relevant.

You can add any of them to your current charting immediately, with a simple click.

The software pulls the relevant data, results, and detail, and enters it in the EMR for you. All in proper format, in the proper place.

No cutting and pasting, no typing, no drag and drop.

It’s faster and simpler and more accurate. More complete.

The downstream effects: All good.

As our users have discovered, accurately capturing and documenting co-morbid conditions in the ED can have a cascade of effects on the hospital’s quality and revenue results

Here are results from one hospital adopting the Retrieve solutions:

  • CMI rose from 1.5 to 2.1
    (0.1 equals $10 million)
  • Leapfrog Scores
    jumped from F to B
  • Mortality Index
    dropped from 1.5 to 0.8
  • Time to Document reduced from 9 minutes to 3 minutes
  • Decreased denials and made appeals easier to document

We will be happy to share more detailed data on request, as we receive it from Retrieve clients.

Just ask.

Many Hospitals are already on board

The Retrieve software was originally created as in internal tool at Stony Brook University Hospital more than 12 years ago.

It has been continually refined and enhanced and upgraded in performance and capability and made available to other Hospitals nationwide.

The technical part

Retrieve is specialized software that works with your Electronic Medical Records system, to streamline certain documentation tasks for ED teams.

We’re currently certified to work with EPIC, Cerner, Meditech systems and work with other EHRs as well.

Retrieve is designed to support your physicians by doing intelligent searches of a patient’s records. The idea is to identify issues that affect medical decision-making, and to support more accurate and detailed documentation of patient encounters.

The software is also able to write to a patient’s record in your EMR.

It uses advanced search algorithms, natural language processing, and other kinds of secret technologies to do what it does.

Our technical people are happy to talk to your technical people to answer any questions you may have.
