Revenue Cycle Automation & Efficiency

Healthcare

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. The simple fact is, there are things you should have done yesterday, things you should be doing right now, and things you’ll need to continue to do, monitor, and improve in the future.

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.

Epic is the undisputed EHR software leader, both in terms of market share and staff satisfaction scores. However, one area has recently come under scrutiny, and not without merit. KLAS reviewed the Epic Community Connect experience for the first time this year, and as a domain we are heavily engaged with and know particularly well, we thought we’d share some additional perspectives.

Advancing Healthcare with the Healthcare Interoperability Readiness Program

Healthcare

The 21st Century Cures Act, a United States law enacted at the end of 2016, mandates patient data interoperability for payers, providers, and healthcare organizations. As we approach rolling implementation deadlines, healthcare organizations are wrestling with how to liberate data from siloed systems – not only to give patients more granular control of their data, but also to improve outcomes by giving doctors a more complete view into their patients’ conditions.

2021 Revenue Cycle – What to Expect?

Healthcare

As 2021 is now underway, here’s what you can expect from healthcare-centric revenue cycle projects. Budgets and spending may continue to get trimmed throughout the year to offset the financial difficulties and lower margins COVID has brought, but IT and RCM technology projects will be mostly untouched, and may even get bumped-up in priority.
