THE COMPULAB FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)

Today's Hospital must be in position to manage a staggering amount of 
information every day.  Much of this data must be put to use within minutes,
at various locations throughout the Hospital.  A manual system can't begin 
to meet the hospital's needs.  Most automated sytems, which simply route 
messages between departments and spew paper, aren't much better.  A Hospital 
needs rapid, efficient information wherever it is required.  Hospitals need 
a total solution.  Hospitals need The CompuLab Financial Management System.
The CompuLab FMS is a single source solution that integrates within a single 
computer information system, the management of a Hospital's total 
information needs.

comprehensive means of managing patient data from reservations to final 
discharge.  The ADT module creates a basic patient record of demographic
data which immediately becomes available to all other CompuLab modules.

registrations and the generation of standard charges.  The special feature
of this module are presented below:

encourages timely payment. The FMS integrates all of the billing throughout
the Hospital from automatic charging and bill generation, to accounts 
receivable, collection support and follow-up statement print.

ELECTRONIC CLAIMS


The need for today's healthcare providers to communicate charge information
clearly, quickly and accurately to insurance payors is paramount.  The FMS
Electronic Claims module addresses this need in a straightforward manner.
It collects patient charge information from providers by a variety of 
electronic means, edits that information according to the published 
standards of the payor, and dispatches claims over telephone lines to the 
payor.  Additionally, the system allows claims to be corrected, re-edited, 
printed and transmitted.  Positive confirmation of claims acceptance is 
returned electronically to ensure that all of the claims that were sent for
payment were received.

over cash disbursement for the Hospital.  Basic functions include on-line

Payable function also provides End-of-Year and End-of-Period functions.  
Account Distribution Processing is another strength of the FMS Accounts 
Payable module.  It sets the distributed code in the invoice and adjustment
transaction to "yes" so that the Payment Selection program recognizes these
transactions and they can be paid.  This process also posts these 
transactions to Accounts Payable and makes the offsetting entry to the 
General Ledger.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT


CompuLab's Magterials Management module is specifically designed to track  
material supplies in the Hospital environment.  Its capacity to track items 
from storage location (central supply), to storage location (hospital 
department), to the patient, provides the timely information needed to 
ensure all material needs are met without maintaining an overly large, 
capital consuming inventory.  Integration with the Order Entry module
within the Inventory Management sub-system provides automatic, on-going 
entry of patient care item utilization.  The suggested Re-order Report 
identifies items at each storage location that need to be restocked and/
or re-ordered and provides information regarding the most economic order 
quantities.  The Inventory Management sub-system is integrated with the 
Purchase Order sub-system, that with the Accounts Payable and General 
Ledger modules facilitates the completion of the audit trail required for 
sound materials management.
