Unicomp Corp. of America selects SeePoint’s KioHealth Healthcare Kiosk Hardware for its POWERstation Patient Registration Solution

Redondo Beach, CA – October 9, 2008 - Unicomp Corp. of America will showcase patient-facing, automated registration processing at the MGMA Annual Conference in San Diego October 19th – 22nd.  Utilizing the IMPOWER core platform and automated registration engine, Unicomp developers created a touch screen interface and established the POWERstation Kiosk to enable self-service patient registration.  

The POWERstation Kiosk is simple to use, efficient, and improves patient demographic and insurance information accuracy. POWERstation Kiosk seamlessly integrates, and shares data, with any Practice Management (PM) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system through the use of the widely-supported HL7 messaging protocol and ODBC connectivity, without requiring a custom interface.  Authorization and consent form signatures are electronically captured and sealed in a legally-binding, HIPAA-compliant, digital document format.  Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology converts insurance card and driver license information into digital patient data, and stores images of these documents in patient-centric folders, for accessibility either locally or from remote offices.  Insurance eligibility is verified in real-time over the Internet, allowing co-pay and deductible requirements to be determined.  Credit card payments are collected, and immediately processed electronically, before medical services are rendered.

Creating a patient-facing solution requires not only an easy-to-use practical software interface, it also needs durable, reliable and secure hardware.  After review of various vendors and hardware manufacturers, Unicomp selected SeePoint Technology’s secure kiosk systems.  SeePoint’s KioHealth healthcare specific hardware includes fully integrated duplex card scanners, electronic signature pads, magnetic card readers, HIPAA privacy filter and AEGIS Antimicrobial treatment, which was recently shown to be effective against MRSA and a wide range of bacteria, fungi and harmful microbes. 

“SeePoint’s integrated hardware is a great fit to display and drive our POWERstation Patient Registration Kiosk application.  The units contain all the devices needed to drive our software solutions, and they protect all cables, ports and wires from the public” states Andy Kaplan, President of Unicomp Corporation of America.  “They are a great partner to work with as they are responsive and their units are manufactured specifically for healthcare facilities.”  Building on nearly a decade in the self-service industry, SeePoint’s KioHealth division focuses exclusively on healthcare needs- helping protect patient information and cross-contamination of infectious microbes with HIPAA privacy filters and AEGIS antimicrobial treatment, respectively.
