Company Profile
For over 10 years, Anthelio has exclusively focused on serving hospitals by providing a broad range of Information Technology and Back-office services. By lowering the operating costs of these hospitals in the areas of information technology, coding, transcription, billing and other related functions, we have had the privilege of helping hospitals take steps forward in their core mission of improved patient care.

Products and Services
Hospital executives uniformly echo the message that emerging healthcare models drive a deeper dependence on real-time, actionable information to better serve patients and to maximize re-imbursements. We help hospitals with a few key stress points in the continuum of patient and financial data needs:

  • I/T infrastructure services to provide data and keep it available
  • Technical I/T resources to supplement in-house gaps in skills and availability
  • Security assessment and remediation – particularly HITRUST
  • Coding: out-patient, in-patient, remote, on-site, &  computer-assisted coding
  • Transcription
  • EHR implementation
  • Clinical documentation improvement
  • ICD-10 assessment and remediation

We support hospitals with both clinical and technical expertise to help them address these areas via high quality resources at sensible and attractive investments levels. We expect this will enable you to shift resources and investments from back end operations into front line clinical services and patient care.
