Quarterly Sponsor Review | Every ninety (90) days Hyland will conduct a review with sponsors from each organization to maintain alignment around key metrics and assess customer experience. This ongoing and collaborative review is intended to allow concerns and feedback to be heard early and often, allowing time for any necessary corrective actions. |
Long-Term Release (LTR) Management | A designation given to certain Enhancement Packs (EP), generally once per year, to identify the builds Hyland will support for the longest duration according to Hyland’s Technical Support policies. EPs generally include enhancements, fixes and security updates provided to Customers multiple times per year. Customer has access to use IMRaaS for one (1) LTR Release annually for the number of products defined in the Order Form, using Hyland’s recommended approach through IMRaaS. |
Incident | Is defined as an unplanned interruption to Software or solution or reduction in the quality of the Software. For the purposes of IMRaaS, Incidents are defined as System Outages or a Service Request which:
|
Problem | Is defined as a cause, or potential cause, of one or more Issues. Hyland will perform a quarterly review of historical Issues to support the identification of underlying causes of issues through in-depth investigation.

Response | Hyland actively engages in identifying root cause and makes recommendation(s) for how to correct. |
Resolution | Hyland receives/produces a response resolution plan and acts to implement a Response. A Resolution is complete when functionality is materially restored, or a recommendation is made to the Customer to remediate a Service Request or Change Request. If a configuration change is required to resolve an issue or implement a Change, the Service Desk will follow the change management practices established with the Customer. |
System Outage | The primary business function is stopped with no redundancy or backup. Deemed as an error that causes total or substantial Software failure, which means the Software is down and Customer is unable to access the Software in any way within its production environment. If a System Outage is caused by Changes requested by Customer to the production environment, Hyland may reverse or “undo” such Changes in order to revert to the previous functionality. Customer is responsible for reporting System Outages by submitting a Technical Support Case via Hyland Community or contacting Technical Support: https://community.hyland.com/login?returnUrl=/customer-portal/wiki/hyland-support/technical-support-phone-numbers |

The amount of manual intervention or validation is unknown until testing commences, however, Hyland will work with Customer to identify and work towards the highest percentage available based on timelines and budget;
- The solution assumes all invoices processed will have a maximum of one (1) PO number per invoice and will contain goods or services, not both;
- Three-way matching is not supported;
- Assumptions regarding Customer provided Vendor Master and PO data include but aren’t limited to:
- Data will be validated against one (1) single external data source;
- Customer data must be up to date and can be accurately matched to vendor and PO data present on an invoice;
- If during testing, Vendor Master and PO data is determined to be out of alignment with standard accounting procedures, this could result in a scope change and/or extension to the project timeline:
- Examples include duplicate vendors, incomplete vendor and PO records, not closing PO’s, etc.
- Customer vendor data must be provided by database views or CSV files.
- Documents will be processed in Brainware as one (1) document per batch;
- Credit Memos will be processed as a Non-PO invoice with a negative invoice amount;
- Solution will be deployed on OnBase EP3 or higher. Upgrade services may be scoped separately where required;
- The solution will leverage pre-configured forms for PO and Non-PO invoices. Customization of these forms is not included in this engagement;
- Purchase orders are stored and maintained in Workday;
- Software reports measure only data stored in the Software application via standard report providers;
- Customer will have a fully functioning Workday test environment during implementation of Software;
- Customer will work with Hyland to schedule any Workday refreshes. If repeated installs or project extensions are required due to Workday refreshes, additional services will be required;
- Hyland will configure Single-Sign On utilizing SAML 2.0 for OnBase;
- Functional and technical Workday experts will be accessible throughout the project;
- Hyland is not to be considered the Workday experts;
- The Software Workflow solution assumes no custom scripting will be required to accomplish workflow tasks. Any business requirement to add custom scripted elements to the Software Workflow solution will require additional configuration effort;
- Hyland will install and configure client side software on up to five (5) workstations for testing and training; and
- Hyland is not responsible for the deployment/installation of Software on end user workstations except what is provided within the scope of this document. Hyland will work with Customer’s system administrator to identify requirements, test installation processes, and provide general consulting on the topic; however, it is ultimately Customer’s responsibility to deploy remaining Software to end user workstations.
- Line item detail capture for Non-PO invoices including general ledger information;
- Auto-coding of GL information for Non-PO invoices;

- Custom SQL reports;
- Ad hoc payments; and
- Invoices with reference to a Workday contract.
- Requirements Capture: Hyland will collaborate with Customer’s project team to discover and define the detailed requirements of the Software solution. Discussions focus on the requirements to meet Customer’s business objectives, including any integration(s) that may be in scope for the project:
- Customer project team may consist of subject matter experts from the business areas and technical experts from IT, interfaces and applications: and
- Agenda will reflect a single collaborative session per project area. For example, where the same department is repeated across multiple entities, representatives of each entity should attend requirements gathering sessions.
- Requirements Review: Hyland reviews the Requirement Document with Customer’s project team to validate the Software solution requirements. Mutually agreed upon modifications may be made to the document;
- Changes to the Software solution and requirements that are not in scope as defined in this Services Proposal will be handled via the change control process; and
- Project Schedule: Hyland may update the Preliminary Project Schedule to reflect a more detailed schedule based upon the Workday AP Base Requirements Document.
- Hyland will deploy the base Workday solution;
- Hyland will provide a walkthrough and a review of prewritten requirements during the discovery phase; and
- If there are business requirements outside of the " Workday AP Base Requirements Document ", found in Appendix 3, a change order is required.

Project Scope
Pre-Visit Documentation Workflow
Scope
Content Capture
- Day forward capture of scanned or faxed documents such as referrals and orders for classification, storage and linking to Epic;
- Software’s “sweep” functionality of purchased Software and/or Rightfax Server integration (if viable) will be utilized; and
- Configuration (if necessary) of a document separation scan queue.
Content Management
- Documents will be manually separated (if necessary) in a scan queue that supports document separation;
- Software Workflow filters will be applied (if necessary) to incoming documents based on keyword values for Department, Status and Sub-Status;
- Order analyzers, appointment schedulers and other end users interacting with received documents will execute Workflow Tasks that indicate the status of the faxed order;
- Faxed order status options will be pre-configured based upon a standardized solution model; and
- Once received documents have been fully indexed, Software will generate an outbound HL7 message to Epic to create the document retrieval link at the appropriate level within Epic, based upon the document type assigned to the received document.
Interfaces
- Content captured will be interfaced via Software HL7 to Epic Bridges through the use of the HL7 middleware. A workflow system task will use the Software HL7 Interface for outbound communication:
- Outbound MDM messages to interface captured documents to the EpicCare system;
- Incoming SIU messages for the capture of scheduling data from Epic; and
- Inbound MDM (“Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface”) messages to update metadata assigned to documents stored in Software after having been updated within Epic:
- The Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface must be procured through Epic.
Content Delivery
- Integrated single document retrieval from document hyperlinks within the patient record in EpicCare using the API integration between the Software and Epic;
- EpicCare Link/MyChart (if necessary); and/or
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software.
Assumptions
- Customer’s fax server solution has the capability to make documents available to the Software from a location and in a format that the Software can import;
- Customer is on a version of Epic that support incoming SIU, Bi-Directional Scans, and ZRE interface;
- Customer’s existing Epic solution allows for documents to be assigned to scan eligible appointment Contact Serial Numbers (“CSNs”), Orders, and/or Referral IDs:
- Charts can be created within Software for appointments based on incoming SIU messages;
- Documents can be attached to appointments via batch scanning, integrated scanning or native Software document import functionality;
- If an appointment is re-scheduled and a new CSN is generated by Epic, the software will create a new chart and re-assign the document(s) attached to the original chart to the new chart; and
- If an appointment is cancelled within Epic, Epic will convert the cancelled appointment to a Scan-Only Encounter. OnBase will move the documents attached to the appointment to the new Scan-Only Encounter CSN.
- Customer’s software Workflow will not be used to validate tasks or ensure that processes are followed in the proper order. Customer resources will be trained in the proper order to execute tasks and will be responsible for ensuring that tasks are executed in the proper order and at the proper time; Software Workflow features such as Timers, User Interaction or Load Balancing are not available outside Software Workflow. will either deploy Intelligent MedRecords to automate document classification or staff will be responsible for manually updating document keywords to facilitate the creation of an HL7 message;
- Users can see all documents within a given status and not know who or if another scheduler is actively working the document;
- Documents are not automatically assigned to users on a first-in first-out process;
- Customer will be responsible for the implementation and management of any fax server software or infrastructure enabling faxed documents to be stored on an accessible network directory; and
- Documents will attach to records within Epic at the appointment level, and the Customer version of Epic will allow for this integration.
Exclusions
- Creation of Workflow E-forms (an electronic HTML form acting as a document in Software) is not included in this estimate;
- Automatic assignment of documents to specific users for processing;
- Individual documents will not be automatically assigned to individuals, groups or roles; Individual users will be able to filter documents based upon criteria identified to perform their business task(s);
- Notifications about documents in a Workflow queue for a period of time are not included;
- External communication (fax/e-mail) of documents is not included; and
- Custom development to accommodate electronic fax solutions incapable of making documents available to the Software from a location and in a format that the Software can import.
Registration Solution
Scope
Content Capture
- Capture of registration documents such as insurance cards, photo identification, and consent forms.
Content Delivery
- Integrated document retrieval from document hyperlinks created within select Epic Registration contexts (determined by Customer in consultation with Epic); and
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software (Customer HIM staff and other select users).
Third-party Application Integration
- Software will integrate/interface with the following applications:
- Epic ADT/Prelude Registration (Inpatient); and
- Epic Prelude Registration (Ambulatory).
Exclusions
- Electronic Completion and signing of forms using a device such as a tablet PC, interactive pen display, or signature pad capable of capturing digital ink; and
- The implementation of an OnBase Mobile eCapture solution for use with mobile devices, such as iPads, to capture patient signatures on consent forms.
Clinical Records Solution
Scope
Content Capture
- Capture of select clinical documents, such as lab results, via scanning or the use of other Customer-owned Software modules;
- Batch scanning and barcode recognition as available of clinical documents, with documents linked to Epic via HL7; and
- Import of electronic documents from up to five (5) ancillary clinical systems, with documents linked to Epic via HL7. Documents must be in non-proprietary document formats (e.g. PDF, TXT, RTF and JPG). The pricing for this proposal is based upon the assumption that native import functionality of purchased Software modules (e.g. HL7) will be leveraged for document import:
- OnBase software supports as many ancillary system imports as required. The number above represents the number of imports Hyland services will create as part of this services project. Customer admins will be trained on how to create further imports as needed.
Content Delivery
- Integrated document retrieval from document hyperlinks created within select EpicCare contexts (determined by Customer in consultation with Epic);
- Integrated document retrieval via the launch of the Hyland Clinician Window from EpicCare; and
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software (Customer HIM staff and other select users).
Content Management
- Physician Acknowledgement:
- The routing of batch scanned documents to a physician’s Epic in-basket for the purpose of Physician Acknowledgment.
- Deficiency Analysis and Completion using Deficiency Pop (If Applicable):
- Software will extend Epic’s deficiency analysis and completion capabilities to facilitate analysis and completion of documents stored in Software;
- Missing Signature and Missing Information deficiencies are supported by Software; and
- Software will deliver deficiency, completion, and refusal data to Epic to support consolidated deficiency management in Epic.
- Software will extend Epic’s deficiency analysis and completion capabilities to facilitate analysis and completion of documents stored in Software;
- Epic Chart Search Functionality:
- Epic is configured for Epic Chart Search.
- MDM Messaging is currently sending via Workflow, not Scan Queue HL7 Sending.
- Release of Information (“ROI”):
- Epic ROI reports will automatically include documents linked in Epic to Software.
- Document Corrections:
- The Solution will include a workflow to facilitate document corrections, such as misfiles and duplicate scans, with the corrections being performed by HIM or other authorized staff; and
- Epic end users will be able to initiate the correction process directly from the Epic-integrated Software viewer.
- Document Maintenance:
- Document maintenance may be facilitated through the Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface;
- When a document record (“DCS”) is changed in Epic, a Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface message can be sent to Software, within which the document metadata will be updated accordingly; and
- Documents can also be soft deleted from Epic through this process.
- Software will automatically process patient merge messages from Epic. Software will facilitate, but not completely automate, the un-merging of patients;
- Integration with the Epic Web BLOB Server Pass-Through:
- Specific use cases by which the Epic Web BLOB Server Pass-Through (“WBP”) will be utilized by Customer will be identified and investigated during Project Requirements Analysis;
- Only day-forward documentation may be stored in Software leveraging WBP;
- The following types of documents stored in the Epic Web BLOB Server will not be eligible for WBP:
- Documents from external organizations retrieved through Image Exchange;
- HTML template-based e-signatures;
- Files not compatible with the Media Manager or the Media tab in Chart Review;
- Files that exist without corresponding document records in the Document (DCS) master file; and
- Other documentation identified as ineligible by Epic.
- Documents stored in OnBase by way of the WBP will exist as ‘read-only’ documents:
- Only WBP calls initiated from within Epic will be able to perform file edits. Such requests will trigger in-place replacements of files stored in Software and will not utilize Software revisioning capabilities;
- Only WBP calls initiated from Epic will be able to perform document deletions. Such requests will trigger document purges from within Software; and
- Only HL7 messages initiated from Epic will be able to perform metadata updates on WBP documents. Metadata update processes will work in conjunction with the ADT interface and Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface. Metadata updates include Keyword changes and Document Type changes. These updates can be triggered as a result of typical patient activity or the Edit document process initiated from within Epic and will require the use of the Software Document Update Processor. These types of metadata updates are one-way and only triggered from Epic. No updates to document metadata performed in Software will be sent to Epic.
- Document security in Software will be maintained separately from Epic security. This may result in documents being viewable in one system and not the other if security models between Software and Epic are not aligned.

Billing Office Solution
Scope
Business Correspondence Processing
- Paper business correspondence will be batch scanned and moved to a Software queue for indexing and QA:
- Actionable correspondence will be managed directly within Epic. Software will create a nightly text file containing the document handle for each piece of correspondence that was scanned into Software that day. This file will then be automatically imported into Epic, and a Correspondence Record is created for each document handle in the file. This will create a direct link to the document from the Epic Correspondence Record. It is recommended that Correspondence Records are created for the Correspondence Solution:
- Customer is on a version of Epic that supports Correspondence import and subsequent creation of Correspondence records via flat file.
- Actionable correspondence will be managed directly within Epic. Software will create a nightly text file containing the document handle for each piece of correspondence that was scanned into Software that day. This file will then be automatically imported into Epic, and a Correspondence Record is created for each document handle in the file. This will create a direct link to the document from the Epic Correspondence Record. It is recommended that Correspondence Records are created for the Correspondence Solution:
Batch Payment Posting in Epic Resolute
- The document representing the posting batch will be linked to Epic via an HL7 ZBI message. Customer is responsible for purchasing the ZBI interface from Epic and any required configuration services. Epic will create the posting batch based on the information in the ZBI message. EOBs retrieved from lockboxes for the Epic/Software batch posting integration must be multi-page TIFF images. Combining multiple images to create a posting document is not in scope;
- When an end user opens a Software-created Epic batch for posting, Epic will open a Software viewing window to facilitate payment posting;
- For each posted transaction, Epic will record the page visible in Software, creating a link to the specific page of the posting document;
- The posting documents will be run through the Software OCR Processor, allowing subsequent text-based search of posting documents from a Software client; and
- Epic will be configured to produce a flat file mapping Epic batch IDs to Software document ids, enabling Software to index the posting documents to the Epic batch IDs. As a result, the Software posting documents will be retrievable by Epic batch ID from a Software client.
835 Processing
- Software will be configured to import up to five (5) distinct 835 feeds;
- The Software 835 Processor will index the file at the level of specific payments and create 835 file virtual EOBs (i.e. EOBs for individual payments) suitable for use in follow-up packets (e.g. a partial-pay appeal packet); and
- The 835 file virtual EOBs will be created using Software’s standard XML style sheet. The virtual EOBs can be customized per 835 file to suit the needs of specific payers, but that configuration is outside the scope of this project and is typically only required when demanded by specific payers (uncommon).
Lockbox Integration
- Software will be configured to integrate with up to four (4) electronic lockboxes;
- Documents associated with the billing office, correspondence, EOBs, or 835 files, may be received by Customer via lockboxes. Software will import documents from the lockboxes, and initiate the business processes described in this Project Area;
- Customer is responsible for securely downloading lockbox contents to a defined location on the same local area network (LAN) hosting the Software;
- If applicable, scoping is based upon the assumption that native import functionality of purchased Software modules (e.g., DIP) will be leveraged for lockbox document import. Any custom development required to provide a pre-processor that parses lockbox images and allows them to be processed by software is not included in the scope of this project area but may be facilitated through the use of elective change blocks.
Content Delivery
- Business correspondence and any documents in Software associated with the relevant MRN or invoice number will be retrievable from Epic Resolute. The integration will be achieved by configuring Epic Activity Buttons to invoke the Software QueryPop; and
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software.
Interfaces
- HL7 interfaces will be leveraged for outbound communication from Software:
- Outbound ZBI message to interface documents to the billing system:

- EpicCare Link/MyChart (if necessary); and/or
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software.
- Customer’s fax server solution has the capability to make documents available to the Software from a location and in a format that the Software can import;
- Customer is on a version of Epic that support incoming SIU, Bi-Directional Scans, and ZRE interface;
- Customer’s existing Epic solution allows for documents to be assigned to scan eligible appointment Contact Serial Numbers (“CSNs”), Orders, and/or Referral IDs:
- Charts can be created within Software for appointments based on incoming SIU messages;
- Documents can be attached to appointments via batch scanning, integrated scanning or native Software document import functionality;
- If an appointment is re-scheduled and a new CSN is generated by Epic, the software will create a new chart and re-assign the document(s) attached to the original chart to the new chart; and
- If an appointment is cancelled within Epic, Epic will convert the cancelled appointment to a Scan-Only Encounter. OnBase will move the documents attached to the appointment to the new Scan-Only Encounter CSN.
- Customer’s software Workflow will not be used to validate tasks or ensure that processes are followed in the proper order. Customer resources will be trained in the proper order to execute tasks and will be responsible for ensuring that tasks are executed in the proper order and at the proper time; Software Workflow features such as Timers, User Interaction or Load Balancing are not available outside Software Workflow. will either deploy Intelligent MedRecords to automate document classification or staff will be responsible for manually updating document keywords to facilitate the creation of an HL7 message;
- Users can see all documents within a given status and not know who or if another scheduler is actively working the document;
- Documents are not automatically assigned to users on a first-in first-out process;
- Customer will be responsible for the implementation and management of any fax server software or infrastructure enabling faxed documents to be stored on an accessible network directory; and

- Custom development to accommodate electronic fax solutions incapable of making documents available to the Software from a location and in a format that the Software can import.
- Capture of registration documents such as insurance cards, photo identification, and consent forms.
- Integrated document retrieval from document hyperlinks created within select Epic Registration contexts (determined by Customer in consultation with Epic); and
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software (Customer HIM staff and other select users).
- Software will integrate/interface with the following applications:
- Epic ADT/Prelude Registration (Inpatient); and
- Epic Prelude Registration (Ambulatory).
- Electronic Completion and signing of forms using a device such as a tablet PC, interactive pen display, or signature pad capable of capturing digital ink; and
- The implementation of an OnBase Mobile eCapture solution for use with mobile devices, such as iPads, to capture patient signatures on consent forms.
- Capture of select clinical documents, such as lab results, via scanning or the use of other Customer-owned Software modules;
- Batch scanning and barcode recognition as available of clinical documents, with documents linked to Epic via HL7; and
- Import of electronic documents from up to five (5) ancillary clinical systems, with documents linked to Epic via HL7. Documents must be in non-proprietary document formats (e.g. PDF, TXT, RTF and JPG). The pricing for this proposal is based upon the assumption that native import functionality of purchased Software modules (e.g. HL7) will be leveraged for document import:
- OnBase software supports as many ancillary system imports as required. The number above represents the number of imports Hyland services will create as part of this services project. Customer admins will be trained on how to create further imports as needed.
- Integrated document retrieval from document hyperlinks created within select EpicCare contexts (determined by Customer in consultation with Epic);
- Integrated document retrieval via the launch of the Hyland Clinician Window from EpicCare; and
- Document retrieval using native client(s) of the Software (Customer HIM staff and other select users).
- Clinician Complete & Return:
- The routing of batch scanned documents to a physician’s Epic in-basket for the purpose of Acknowledgment.
- Deficiency Analysis and Completion using Deficiency Pop (If Applicable):
- Software will extend Epic’s deficiency analysis and completion capabilities to facilitate analysis and completion of documents stored in Software;
- Missing Signature and Missing Information deficiencies are supported by Software; and
- Software will deliver deficiency, completion, and refusal data to Epic to support consolidated deficiency management in Epic.
- Epic Chart Search Functionality:
- Epic is configured for Epic Chart Search.
- MDM Messaging is currently sending via Workflow, not Scan Queue HL7 Sending.
- Release of Information (“ROI”):
- Epic ROI reports will automatically include documents linked in Epic to Software.
- Document Corrections:
- The Solution will include a workflow to facilitate document corrections, such as misfiles and duplicate scans, with the corrections being performed by HIM or other authorized staff; and
- Epic end users will be able to initiate the correction process directly from the Epic-integrated Software viewer.
- Document Maintenance:
- Document maintenance may be facilitated through the Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface;
- When a document record (“DCS”) is changed in Epic, a Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface message can be sent to Software, within which the document metadata will be updated accordingly; and
- Documents can also be soft deleted from Epic through this process.
- Software will automatically process patient merge messages from Epic. Software will facilitate, but not completely automate, the un-merging of patients;
- Integration with the Epic Web BLOB Server Pass-Through:
- Specific use cases by which the Epic Web BLOB Server Pass-Through (“WBP”) will be utilized by Customer will be identified and investigated during Project Requirements Analysis;

- The following types of documents stored in the Epic Web BLOB Server will not be eligible for WBP:
- Documents from external organizations retrieved through Image Exchange;
- HTML template-based e-signatures;
- Files not compatible with the Media Manager or the Media tab in Chart Review;
- Files that exist without corresponding document records in the Document (DCS) master file; and
- Other documentation identified as ineligible by Epic.
- Documents stored in OnBase by way of the WBP will exist as ‘read-only’ documents:
- Only WBP calls initiated from within Epic will be able to perform file edits. Such requests will trigger in-place replacements of files stored in Software and will not utilize Software revisioning capabilities;
- Only WBP calls initiated from Epic will be able to perform document deletions. Such requests will trigger document purges from within Software; and
- Only HL7 messages initiated from Epic will be able to perform metadata updates on WBP documents. Metadata update processes will work in conjunction with the ADT interface and Bi-Directional Scans Maintenance Interface. Metadata updates include Keyword changes and Document Type changes. These updates can be triggered as a result of typical patient activity or the Edit document process initiated from within Epic and will require the use of the Software Document Update Processor. These types of metadata updates are one-way and only triggered from Epic. No updates to document metadata performed in Software will be sent to Epic.
- Document security in Software will be maintained separately from Epic security. This may result in documents being viewable in one system and not the other if security models between Software and Epic are not aligned.

- Epic Prelude Registration (Ambulatory).
- Electronic Completion and signing of forms using a device such as a tablet PC, interactive pen display, or signature pad capable of capturing digital ink; and
- The implementation of an OnBase Mobile eCapture solution for use with mobile devices, such as iPads, to capture patient signatures on consent forms.
- Capture of select clinical documents, such as lab results, via scanning or the use of other Customer-owned Software modules;
- Batch scanning and barcode recognition as available of clinical documents, with documents linked to Epic via HL7; and
- Import of electronic documents from up to five (5) ancillary clinical systems, with documents linked to Epic via HL7. Documents must be in non-proprietary document formats (e.g. PDF, TXT, RTF and JPG). The pricing for this proposal is based upon the assumption that native import functionality of purchased Software modules (e.g. HL7) will be leveraged for document import:

Software will create a nightly text file containing the document handle for each piece of correspondence that was scanned into Software that day. This file will then be automatically imported into Epic, and a Correspondence Record is created for each document handle in the file. This will create a direct link to the document from the Epic Correspondence Record. It is recommended that Correspondence Records are created for the Correspondence Solution:
- Customer is on a version of Epic that supports Correspondence import and subsequent creation of Correspondence records via flat file.
- Actionable correspondence will be managed directly within Epic. Software will create a nightly text file containing the document handle for each piece of correspondence that was scanned into Software that day. This file will then be automatically imported into Epic, and a Correspondence Record is created for each document handle in the file. This will create a direct link to the document from the Epic Correspondence Record. It is recommended that Correspondence Records are created for the Correspondence Solution:
- The document representing the posting batch will be linked to Epic via an HL7 ZBI message. Customer is responsible for purchasing the ZBI interface from Epic and any required configuration services. Epic will create the posting batch based on the information in the ZBI message. EOBs retrieved from lockboxes for the Epic/Software batch posting integration must be multi-page TIFF images. Combining multiple images to create a posting document is not in scope;
- When an end user opens a Software-created Epic batch for posting, Epic will open a Software viewing window to facilitate payment posting;
- For each posted transaction, Epic will record the page visible in Software, creating a link to the specific page of the posting document;
- The posting documents will be run through the Software OCR Processor, allowing subsequent text-based search of posting documents from a Software client; and
- Epic will be configured to produce a flat file mapping Epic batch IDs to Software document ids, enabling Software to index the posting documents to the Epic batch IDs. As a result, the Software posting documents will be retrievable by Epic batch ID from a Software client.
- Software will be configured to import up to five (5) distinct 835 feeds;
- The Software 835 Processor will index the file at the level of specific payments and create 835 file virtual EOBs (i.e. EOBs for individual payments) suitable for use in follow-up packets (e.g. a partial-pay appeal packet); and
- The 835 file virtual EOBs will be created using Software’s standard XML style sheet. The virtual EOBs can be customized per 835 file to suit the needs of specific payers, but that configuration is outside the scope of this project and is typically only required when demanded by specific payers (uncommon).
- Software will be configured to integrate with up to four (4) electronic lockboxes;
- Documents associated with the billing office, correspondence, EOBs, or 835 files, may be received by Customer via lockboxes. Software will import documents from the lockboxes, and initiate the business processes described in this Project Area;
- Customer is responsible for securely downloading lockbox contents to a defined location on the same local area network (LAN) hosting the Software;
- If applicable, scoping is based upon the assumption that native import functionality of purchased Software modules (e.g., DIP) will be leveraged for lockbox document import.

Appendix 2 - Description of Add-Ons
The following Add-On Services are available, if applicable.
Add-Ons Available |
On-site Discovery |
Custom Script Requests |
Additional Change Request |
On-Site Discovery
Up to three (3) Hyland Resources will travel to Customer’s site to perform discovery/requirements analysis for up to three (3) days.Travel expenses are not included in this Schedule and will be charged separately if incurred by Hyland resources;
Custom Script Requests
If Customer purchases Custom Script Requests as an add-on Managed Service, Customer will be entitled to use its Change Request account balance to open a Change Request relating to a non-software code or configuration item used in a customer Hyland solution, including but not limited to APIs, Unity Scripts, or pre-processors. See “Initiating Service Requests and Change Requests” and “Enhance/Expand Change Request” sections for details regarding submission and management of Change Requests.
Additional Change Requests
Hyland will provide additional quantities of Change Requests (with each quantity being comprised of ten requests) as indicated on the Order Form or through the Change Control Process.
Hyland will update Customer’s account balance to reflect the additional Change Requests that will be available during the course of the 12-month period.
All standard rules, assumptions and exclusions apply to additional Change Requests.
Appendix 3 – Intelligent MedRecords (IMR)
Hyland will provide Professional Services for the discovery and implementation services to Customer for a document classification and indexing system for internal and external documents. The Professional Services outlined in this agreement are for Customer’s participation in Hyland’s effort to capture and process non-barcoded clinical documents in Customer’s Software environment using Software’s Intelligent Medical Records solution.
Customer understands this solution is not capable of classifying every document during processing. When this happens, Customer users will review and interact with documents to manually assign the document type. Customer users will also verify any automated classification as part of the Intelligent Medical Records solution.
Content Capture
Day-forward documents intended for classification will follow the following process:
- For internal documents, it is recommended that patient label be placed on document;
- For differentiation between internal and external document classification an identifier needs to be on internal documents and pages:
- Example: Facility name;
- Internally generated documents will be routed for Document Type classification through Software’s Internal Medical Records Classification solution:
- The Classification Solution will evaluate the images to attempt to classify documents and assign a Document Type;
- Additionally, the Classification Solution will attempt to extract the following data elements from classified internal documents:
- Medical Record Number (“MRN”); and
- Contact Serial Number (“CSN”).
- Additional patient demographic information (i.e. Patient First Name, Patient Last Name, Patient Date Of Birth) will be indexed to classified internal documents leveraging Software Autofill Keyword Sets.
- Externally generated documents will be routed for Document Type classification through Software’s External Medical Records Classification solution:
- The Classification Solution will evaluate the images to attempt to classify documents and assign a Document Type; and
- Additionally, the Classification Solution will attempt to extract the following data elements from classified external documents:
- Patient First Name;
- Patient Last Name;
- Patient Date of Birth; and
- Date of Service (if necessary).
Hyland anticipates that individual documents will be scanned at the same aspect ratio and dimensions at a Hyland recommended minimum image resolution of three hundred (300) dpi. Documents sent via fax may not have the appropriate resolution to perform proper character recognition where Quality Assurance is required to ensure image quality and document separation. IMR will extract the data and present the information to the Customer verification operator for validation.
Classification is based on the training of Document Types within Software executed by subject matter experts. Accuracy of Software is based on document quality and information on document(s). Documents must be clean and free of extraneous patterns, images or any other formatting that would interfere with reading document data.
Content Management
- Documents will be classified and separated through a scan queue that supports Intelligent MedRecords and Capture Process Designer.
Assumptions
This project is based upon the below assumptions being true. If for some reason these assumptions prove to be false, this could result in a scope change and may have an impact on the proposed cost and timeline to deliver:
- Customer will already have an existing Software environment and installation;
- Hyland will configure up to five (5) capture ingestion points for IMR:
- Ex: Fax Line Import, Email Account Import, Scan Queue
- Hyland will train Customer on configuration and setup to handle additional.
- Customer is responsible for configuration of scanning hardware and driver installation;
- Scanners must be of high quality and allow for processing of volume batches (not flatbed scanners);
- Configuration will account for high volume internal or external document types for:
- Document Type Classification; and/or
- Document Type Sub-Classification:
- Document Type: Consent Form; and
- Sub-Classification Descriptions: Procedure Consent, Blood Consents, etc.
- Each sub-classification should be discussed with the project team based on project plan and timeline during the discovery process;
- Data extraction requires that the fields be present on the page;
- Documents processed through Software must be clean and free of staples, extraneous patterns, images, or any other formatting that would interfere with reading data;
- External documents for which the Patient First Name, Patient Last Name, Patient Date of Birth and Date of Service (if necessary) were not extracted will be manually indexed to an MRN or CSN for keyword indexing unless Customer has prepped the batch with a batch cover sheet containing a patient barcode or has keyword barcodes present on documents;
- Customer medical records subject matter experts are required throughout the project to actively participate in the validation of classification tests and results. Subject matter experts will have the knowledge to define document classification and/or sub-classification;
- Customer will provide Hyland with sample Production documents for system configuration, training, and testing purposes;
- The Customer approves the use of Production document samples and validation tables (if live with OnBase) in UT/TST IMR environment to assist with accuracy of classification and data extraction from images.
- Hyland will work with Customer to align on expectations for content going to UT/TST Epic environments.
- Accuracy of the Software is based on document quality, information on said document(s):
- The amount of manual intervention or validation is unknown until testing commences; however, Hyland will work with Customer to identify and work towards the highest percentage available based on timelines and budget; and
- All document capture is day-forward. No capture of previously generated documents is included in this proposal.
Exclusions
The following items are considered out of scope for this engagement:
- Training of end users on scanning and indexing within the Unity Client;
- Order level keyword extraction;
- Handwriting Extraction;
- Concatenation or manipulation of any captured document keywords;
- Correspondence and other billing/PFS documents;
- Epic Integrated Scan Documents;
