“HITEKS has been more than just an efficiency solution for our CDI Specialists and physicians. Their ability to customize queries and provide them inside Epic at the point of care while physicians are still writing their notes is a true asset to Rush. In addition, HITEKS fills the gaps provided by other CDI tools, which help us with prioritization and query writing, by serving to capture the physicians’ attention to their individual notes before they save/sign, as well as distribution of automated queries to the entire care team, allowing medical residents, hospitalists and specialists to respond according to their patient-specific knowledge and availability. The ROI for HITEKS is justified by the timely DRG shifts, where physicians respond immediately to queries, or satisfy queries in subsequent documentation within a few minutes.”
