With the Online Reference Toolkit® from Craneware, keeping up with codes and regulatory changes is so much easier – no looking through a stack of manuals.
—John Heemann, Director IS, Huntsville Memorial Hospital, Huntsville, Texas
Keeping track of the correct codes and regulations for medical necessity or code assignment is a tough job. Codes change regularly and the regulations are updated frequently. Source information is spread throughout numerous volumes of books and Web sites. Although many people throughout your facility need access to that information, the cost of buying enough reference manuals for everyone is prohibitive, and the time it takes to keep them updated is substantial.
To solve that problem, Craneware includes a set of licenses to Online Reference Toolkit® with every product in the Chargemaster Toolkit® Suite. Online Reference Toolkit® is a browser-based reference that can be accessed easily by anyone in your hospital who needs to understand and utilize an accurate set of coded data. The product's coding and regulatory information is updated continuously to ensure that you and your staff have the current information at all times.
