Craneware's Chargemaster Corporate Toolkit^® helps large multi-hospital systems develop a customized standard to fit their corporate needs for a single Charge Description Master. The software was developed to avoid an all-too-common approach to enterprise-wide CDM standardization: an endless process of trying to link, match and pull together thousands of line items from multiple sources and systems to create a master that covers everything for everybody.

Chargemaster Corporate Toolkit eases that process by using sophisticated matching algorithms to analyze, match and suggest links between the line items in various CDM files. That allows you to pull together a “master” CDM file and have it link directly to each of the individual CDM files. The software is flexible enough to allow either departmental or individual variations in different facilities – or to mandate complete conformity across the board. All hospital chargemasters can be controlled at a corporate level, or some responsibility can be assigned to the facilities.

Whenever users open Chargemaster Corporate Toolkit, they automatically receive any updates to codes and to the software itself through their Internet browsers. Thus all users’ systems are always current. To help users analyze changes in codes, Chargemaster Corporate Toolkit is packaged with a set of licenses to the Craneware Online Reference Toolkit^®. It is a browser-based solution that provides easy access to all the specific source documents and information your staff needs for successful coding, medical necessity reference, reimbursement information, charge line-item creation, and general regulatory information.
