Newtn Digital debuts platform to modernize DME workflow

AUSTIN, Texas – Newtn Digital has launched a platform designed to streamline ordering, documentation and claims processing for durable medical equipment (DME) providers. The company says the platform connects health care providers, physicians and DME providers through a secure workflow that reduces paperwork, improves documentation accuracy and helps accelerate reimbursement. "Health care has modernized many aspects of patient care, but DME workflows have remained largely stuck in a paper-based environment," said Newtn Digital CEO Mark Newton. "Those inefficiencies create delays for providers, suppliers and patients alike. We built Newtn Digital to help move information more quickly and accurately between stakeholders while simplifying a process that has remained unnecessarily complex for years." Newtn says the platform features automated demographic capture from EHR systems, digital physician and patient signatures, real-time documentation sharing, and integration with DME billing and patient management software. The company says the launch comes as health care organizations prepare for CMS's adoption of electronic claims attachment standards, increasing pressure to replace paper-based documentation and manual workflows with digital processes. "The shift toward digital documentation is no longer a future initiative for health care organizations," Newton said. "Providers and suppliers are looking for practical ways to improve efficiency, reduce risk and prepare for evolving industry requirements. Solutions that connect stakeholders and improve information flow will play an increasingly important role in that transition."
