Adventist Health System Signs Agreement with Dolbey to Implement Fusion CAC Powered by EMscribe, Computer-Assisted Coding Solution CONCORD, Ohio--September 09, -- Dolbey Systems, Inc. and Adventist Health System have signed an agreement to implement Fusion CAC™ Powered by EMscribe™, Dolbey’s computer-assisted coding solution. Dolbey will install Fusion CAC across the Adventist Health System’s 33 hospitals spanning 9 states including the nation’s busiest hospital, Florida Hospital. Fusion CAC will be deployed to enhance both the inpatient and outpatient medical coding process by pre-coding charts with both ICD9 and CPT-4 codes. Computer-assisted coding software from Dolbey, powered by the patent-pending natural language processing (NLP) engine EMscribe, is an innovative technology that uses algorithmic, clinical language analysis of an entire patient chart to suggest codes. Starting with pre-coded charts enables Medical Coders to focus their skilled expertise on coding accuracy, consistency and rule compliance. Fusion CAC results in a streamlined coding workflow, enhances the revenue cycle process and provides for more accurate, consistent and timely reimbursement outcomes.
“This opportunity will allow Dolbey and Adventist Health System to prove computer-assisted coding’s efficiencies and results in one of the most successful health systems. Adventist Health System’s senior leadership has a vision of new, inventive ways that computer-assisted coding can positively impact not just the coding and billing process for revenue but to proactively drive precise patient care for quality outcomes,” states Chris Casto, Vice President of Dolbey Systems.
Elliott Familant, chief architect of the NLP technology that drives Fusion CAC, states, “Adventist Health System has seen a great potential in Fusion CAC for automating coding workflow, pre- and post-auditing of coding events, increasing productivity of human coders and providing tools to all levels of healthcare case management.”
Fusion computer-assisted coding technology is one component of an integrated Health Information Management Fusion Suite offered by Dolbey to healthcare that also includes Fusion Voice for dictation management, Fusion Text for transcription and document management and Fusion Expert and Speech for both front-end and back-end speech recognition for healthcare.

About Dolbey
Dolbey’s innovative technologies share a long and proud history. In 1914 John Dolbey formed a partnership with Thomas A. Edison to make available the earliest dictation inventions to the business community. During the 20th century, as dictation evolved from the wax cylinder to today’s digital recording, Dolbey & Company, Inc. successfully navigated these revolutionary changes.
In the mid-1980s Dolbey & Company began developing its own medical transcription and document management software, laying the groundwork for today’s robust suite of Fusion Text® and Fusion Speech® transcription and speech recognition products and modules. In 1994 Dolbey Systems, Inc., was formed and became a close partner, concentrating on dictation and coding systems. Dolbey Systems’ Fusion Voice® and Fusion CAC® have become integral parts of the Fusion Suite™ of products.
Together, the Dolbey companies have built an integrated solution for dictation, transcription, speech recognition, document management, and computer-assisted coding. Our solutions focus on providing solutions that assist in managing the collaborative workflow process in healthcare from over 40 authorized sales, service and support centers nationwide.
