Pre-visit gives consumers a seamless and more transparent check-in experience, while helping health systems efficiently capture patient intake data, ease administrative burdens and ultimately, improve collection yield. Built on a modern, cloud-based platform, pre-visit streamlines front-end revenue cycle processes and allows consumers to complete important check-in workflows in advance of visits--both inside the Cerner Consumer Framework and out.
Plus, unlike other patient check-in solutions, Cedar provides a unified hub for financial engagement by enabling consumers to prepare for appointments and manage bills from a single platform.
Use Cases
- A consumer with a scheduled appointment receives a text or email reminder and engages with a link to check-in early. Using a web-based, login-free application, they complete the necessary check-in steps, view information about their financial responsibility, and have the option to make a payment for their upcoming visit so they can save time at the point of service.
- A consumer with a scheduled appointment logs into their provider's patient portal (powered by Cerner). They seamlessly complete the necessary check-in steps, view information about their financial responsibility, and have the option to make a payment for their upcoming visit so they can save time at the point of service--all without having to exit the portal or re-authenticate their identity.
- A contact center representative is handling an inbound call from a consumer who has an inquiry about the check-in process. Using a web-based application that's easily accessible via single sign-on, the representative gets a consolidated view of consumer interactions as well as has the option to engage in financial workflows-such as accepting payments and issuing refunds-so they can provide efficient support and resolve the case with high customer satisfaction.
