Navigating the healthcare landscape as an independent, family-owned business presents unique challenges. One huge challenge is an overburdened workforce. Healthcare workers are often stressed and burnt out. But for Kubat Healthcare—a local pharmacy serving the community since 1932—these obstacles didn’t stand in the way of delivering exceptional care. Thanks, in part, to the time and cost-saving solutions provided by CyncHealth Nebraska.
Kubat provides essential medical equipment to those in need. However, their staff often receives orders without necessary follow-up notes or testing results required to verify insurance coverage or medical necessity. These documents are critical to ensuring patients receive the equipment they need.
Before partnering with CyncHealth Nebraska, Nebraska’s Health Information Exchange (HIE), Kubat’s team had to make repeated calls to medical records departments, leave messages, and wait—sometimes for days—for the needed documentation.
“Having access to the HIE has become a tremendous time saver for our staff,” says Jennifer Lundstrom, Respiratory and Intake Director at Kubat. “It reduces the time from receiving an order to setting a patient up with equipment.”
Now, with CyncHealth Nebraska, Kubat can quickly access the necessary notes and documents, allowing them to move forward without delay. “What used to take us days now takes minutes,” Jennifer adds. “This has significantly increased what our intake department can accomplish in a single workday.”
The information CyncHealth Nebraska provides is also beneficial in helping Kubat’s respiratory staff to treat patients. “If we can see previous blood gas results, we can start ventilation treatment much sooner,” Jennifer explains. “We no longer have to wait weeks for those results to arrive from medical records.”
