Boston WorkStation Scripting Tool Has Many Uses
Boston WorkStation is an easy-to-use, yet powerful scripting tool that can be used for any scripting task. Many hospitals use BWS's scripting tool to integrate test devices to results reporting systems, connect to the internet for real time eligibility checking, complete data and conversions migrations, and automate remittance posting. However, BWS's scripting tool is not limited to these tasks. The following case studies explain how some hospitals use BWS's scripting tool to solve their unique situations.
Scripting Tool for Automating Patient Registration
Greenwich Hospital in CT is focused on task automation to free up staff and improve data capture. Among the processes they have scripted are the loading of updated fee schedule tables from managed care contracts into their MEDITECH HIS and the conversion of registration information to centralized scheduling, converting all the appointments that are in one of the dictionaries to the new centralized scheduling module.

Scripting Tool for Eligibility Verification
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center has automated eligibility checking by going directly to a payers’ web site to get eligibility status. The hospital’s high visit volume makes this direct connection more efficient than the per-transaction cost of a service bureau.
