Sage Software Announces Community Health Center Solution
Intergy by Sage to help Centers Manage the Challenges of Community and Behavioral Health
TAMPA, Fla. - April 19, 2007 - Sage Software announced that it will begin offering a new Intergy by Sage solution directly targeting the needs of community health centers nationwide. Based on Sage Software's flagship Intergy by Sage product line and the company's two decades of community health experience, the new solution will include functionality that meets the specific community health needs, including features that will help manage sliding fee schedules, UDS and behavioral health management. Combined with other Sage Software products, the new offering will provide community health centers with the ability to manage funds, control budgets and monitor accountability. The solution is integrated with the Intergy EHR by Sage electronic health records, practice management and electronic data interchange tools. It will also integrate with Sage Software's financial offerings, including Sage MIP Fund Accounting, the company's award-winning accounting software for nonprofit financial management.
Among the challenges facing community health is the lack of technology designed to help healthcare centers better manage behavioral health treatment and associated billing. Sage Software's Intergy CHC solution will make it easier for healthcare centers to document and monitor behavioral health treatments and integrate the required billing.
"Sage Software has over 20 years of experience in working with community health organizations," said Andy Corbin, CEO, Sage Software Healthcare, Inc. "We recognize their challenges, including fund management, patient treatment, and the need to closely follow Medicaid and grant requirements. Our new solution, combined with other products from the Sage Software family, will address all of these issues, providing community health administrators and physicians with the ability to provide their patients with the best possible care, regardless of their income level."
