The Kramer Group, TKG Healthcare Technologies (TKG), a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service Revenue Cycle QA products, announces a new partnership with Acxiom® Corporation that will incorporate address verification and identity check services into TKG’s flagship web-based quality assurance patient access solution, Registration Quality Improvement (RQi).
“The integration of Acxiom technology with RQi gives hospitals and healthcare professionals an easy-to-use, advanced system for verifying vital patient registration information at the ‘front door’ with unparalleled accuracy,” TKG Healthcare Technologies CEO Charles Kramer said. “Registrars will have the opportunity to triple check and validate a patient’s information before receiving services both in real-time and daily batch mode processing.”
Acxiom’s integrated service will provide vital information searches on three levels: a basic postal service address deliverability check, a comprehensive address deliverability match, and an identity service that provides Social Security, DOB, and best address validation.”
“We are excited about our relationship with TKG, as a demonstration of Acxiom’s commitment to drive value to healthcare payers and providers by reducing manual work, reducing collections problems and providing a better patient experience,” said Acxiom Healthcare Industry Executive Darin Hicks. “This robust technology will help to ensure superior data quality and operational efficiency, allowing hospitals and healthcare professionals more time to focus on the needs of their patients.”

Operating with a patent-pending state-of-the-art rules engine and customized set of business rules, RQi provides 100 percent data accuracy, improved employee accountability, intuitive workflow, and immediate user feedback.
