Stories of Innovation
HealthSource Stream
Across the U.S., the number of requests to process clinical documentation has been increasing more than 20 percent year-over-year, placing more strain on an already stretched health data system and overwhelming many medical records departments. Rather than supply more employees to retrieve those records, Ciox has developed an innovative solution called HealthSource Stream that uses computer-assisted release (CAR) technology to improve turnaround times without sacrificing quality.

Revenue Cycle Edit Work Queue Optimization
Healthcare solutions company e4 has assisted eight clients with their EHR and patient accounting systems (PAS) system conversions. During the conversion and post go-live timeframe, there is inevitably a large number of “edits” that must be worked by an individual to move an encounter to the billing state of the revenue cycle process. Enter e4’s edit resolution workflow that is not only aimed at resolving the edits, but also at training and educating the client’s staff, allowing end-users to be self-proficient within 30 to 60 days from the process implementation.

The Unique Considerations for IAM in Healthcare
Tasked with managing an exploding volume of patient, provider, and employee data, hospitals and health systems are increasingly making IT security a top priority.

LeanTaaS' iQueue for Operating RoomsiQueue for Operating Rooms (ORs) represents a significant opportunity to improve prime time utilization (PTU) of operating rooms, as ORs are one of the most valuable assets within a health system by virtue of their contribution to the revenue and operating margins of the entire health system. Yet, there are significant structural problems in the way that the OR block scheduled is allocated and managed.
Using Social Determinants of Health to Predict Readmissions
Why do readmissions continue to plague hospitals? There’s one primary reason: It’s very difficult to control patients’ behavior once they are discharged. Social determinants of health (SDOH)—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age—influence how likely it is that a patient will follow their discharge recommendations. Unfortunately, hospitals sometimes overlook these factors because they rely entirely on clinical data that only tells part of the story.
