A software program enables healthcare providers to manage, analyze, sustain,
and harness (MASH) information, allowing patients to use a customized iPad rather
than complete traditional paperwork.
MASH is a collaboration framework
that connects the patient, the physician, and the provider on a common technology platform,
comprised of a suite of applications that work in cohesion to streamline and automate the connections,
interactions, and transactions between all three key entities. An applications library caters
to growing healthcare needs in areas such as self-service, patient access, physician access,
operational agility, social media, and more. By using MASH, providers can build stronger ties with
patients, physicians, and suppliers, as well as enhance customer loyalty.

New Healthcare IT Pilot Program Cutting Patient Check-in Times by 80 Percent
iPad - enabled program links patients, physicians and hospitals on a common technology

ORLANDO, Fla -Patients too old
for technology? Tell that to the 72-year-old who recently used an iPad to check
in for his procedure at South Lake Hospital.
"He was delighted with the process, partly because it was a new experience for him
but primarily because his check-in time was under two minutes," said Pranam Ben,
COO and head of NIIT Healthcare Technologies. "We've found that regardless of the
patient's age or experience with technology, their overall satisfaction with the
program has been exceptional."
NIIT Healthcare Technologies partnered with the hospital last month
to launch a pilot program that tests an all-new IT product called "MASH," so named
as it enables healthcare providers to Manage, Analyze, Sustain and Harness information.
MASH allows patients to use a customized iPad to check in, verify and update information
and sign electronic consents, rather than complete traditional paperwork. The technology
also allows hospital staff to track wait and service times by modality.
"We are very encouraged from the results so far," said Lalit Dhingra, president
of NIIT Technologies. "This new platform is elevating patient service and we are
looking forward to promoting it nationwide."
"We couldn't be happier with the initial results," said Lance Sewell, CFO of South
Lake Hospital, a 122-bed suburban hospital outside Orlando. The hospital has initially
launched the program to check in scheduled radiology procedures but plans to soon
expand the scope to potentially include its women's center and emergency department.
Sewell estimates that with MASH, patient check-in times have been reduced by 80
percent.
"The efficiencies were immediately apparent, especially during mornings, when volume
is typically higher for diagnostic procedures," Sewell said. "Patients are getting
through check-in much faster and are ready to be seen for their procedures within
minutes of arriving for their appointments. All indications are that MASH will allow
us to deliver even higher levels of patient care and convenience, which is a top
priority for us."
While the pilot program at South Lake Hospital is testing patient check-in and registration,
the platform is fully compatible with HIS, EMR, EHR, ADT and scheduling systems,
and integrates and automates online bill paying, health records management, online
pre-registration and scheduling, and secure messaging among care providers both
inside and outside the hospital. The platform also allows for targeted communications
with patients on the iPad based on various criteria such as location, age and service
requested.
