What's Included
When you purchase the Med-Link system, you receive a complete package of software and
services to help ensure a successful implementation. All of these services are quoted on a fixed
fee basis which includes all training and consulting costs so there are no surprises. With this
complete package of services (software, training, consulting, and support), you will be provided
with everything required for a highly successful and cost-effective cost accounting system
implementation.
Software
The Med-Link software, installed on your personal computer at your facility.
Training Seminar
The Med-Link seminar is a 3-day course taught on a regular basis in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This comprehensive course takes you step by step through each element of the system and the
implementation process.
The course is taught by Healthcare Decision Systems, Inc. (HDS) consultants and includes basic
cost accounting concepts, practical examples, hands-on software experience, and analysis of the
resulting reports. Your facility can send up to three participants per session to this seminar.
There is no seminar fee, but each facility is responsible for travel and lodging related costs.
Consulting
On-site consulting by experienced HDS healthcare professionals is a vital part of the package.
The HDS team helps guide the implementation, coordinates the systems integration, provides
expert advise on how the system should be implemented, and assists with interpreting the system
reports.
Facility Staff
Cost accounting (like budgeting) requires the active involvement of department directors.
Training is provided in cost accounting concepts and the use of the reports produced by the Med-Link system. Because of the directors intimate knowledge of their departments, they provide
valuable information during the implementation process. The Med-Link system performs many
of the calculations, relieving the directors of tedious repetitious tasks.
Support
HDS consultants believe that continued support of the Med-Link system is essential to the user
realizing its full benefit. We fully support our clients in all aspects of using the Med-Link
system including: training, consulting, implementation, results analysis and technical product
support. We are available after the completion of the implementation to assist Med-Link users
as they gain experience with cost accounting and wish to refine their assumptions, add
departments, or use additional features.
We turn to our clients and the healthcare industry for guidance on future enhancements. Med-Link is truly a system that is responsive to your needs.
