VICTORIAN regional health service Barwon Health has embarked on a major overhaul of its electronic billing system that processes about $100 million in revenue each year.

Barwon Health has selected LRS Health’s MediBILL as its e-billing platform to replace six disparate billing systems that fall under the umbrella of iSoft’s HOMER.

He said one major reason MediBILL was selected was LRS Health’s approach to feedback and willingness to adapt to requests for changes. “Getting changes to software previously was an excruciatingly slow process … it took forever…”

“They’re radically different to other software companies and instead of us having to change our practices to suit the software, we can sit down and have a discussion with them,” Mr Jobling said.

Barwon Health selected LRS Health to supply MediBILL, an invoice and debt management suite that simplifies and streamlines hospital billing. The software roll out began in March this year with the medical imaging department and will soon be implemented across all clinical areas including cardiology, anaesthetics, oncology, outpatients clinics and emergency. Using MediBILL, the majority of Barwon Health’s billing will be integrated into one system, consolidating its previously disparate and complex billing systems.
