Telehealth Here to Stay, & Bringing Financial Boon

It is no secret to health clinics and medical groups that Telehealth has been a financial lifeline in 2020. And while much of that has stemmed from relaxed regulation and reimbursement expectations for COVID-19, it is also presenting a compelling argument for long-term financial strategy and sustainability.

Insights from the 2020 MEDITECH Nurse Forum

It was announced that at one time there were 799 people watching a virtual session, which is much higher than previous years with in-person forums. Just as the in-person session, each day consisted of a keynote speaker, discussion panels, education demonstrations and great information about new and upcoming MEDITECH innovations.

This is the last component in my #returntorevenue series, highlighting the steps necessary to expeditiously trend up your financial health in light of COVID-19. This final step is arguably the most important. You can take all the right strategic and operational steps in the world but if your technology, your EHR, your core revenue processing mechanisms and staff aren’t aligned, you’ll inevitably see and experience subpar results.

Plan Now for New Electronic ADT Notification Requirements

New Requirements

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) final Interoperability and Patient Access Rule creates a new Condition of Participation (CoP) that requires hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and Critical Access Hospitals to share electronic Admission, Discharge, Transfer (ADT) event notifications with other providers and systems so that providers including post-acutes have at their disposal the most up-to-date and accurate information about their patients as it relates to admissions and ED visits. The compliance requirement goes into effect May 1, 2021 and CMS will begin enforcement of the requirements on July 1, 2021.
