Workflow issues:
1) "billable items" should only "pass" from the EMR to the accounting system
upon crossing a threshold of minimum required information (plus minus other
sanity checks)
2) triggers for this "passage of information" should probably support each of
user-based "pushing" to the interface
e.g when a patient wants to pay up their account on their way out
automated polling
e.g. to collect those things which are ready but which did not require
immediate pushing (or which the doctor overlooked to "push")
CAVEATS:
(i) each billable item should have one among defined statuses e.g.
incomplete
ready
uploaded
error
deprecated / do not bill
(ii) to avoid "missed" billings, some regular QI/review would be needed
on the above
