It’s a catch phraseContinue reading “Looking for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Solutions at HIMSS20?”
Is Burnout Adequately Addressed in Healthcare?
In a 2019 study by the National Academy of Medicine, “35 to 54 percent of U.S. nurses and physicians have substantial symptoms of burnout, and the range for medical students and residents is between 45 to 60 percent.” The highest prevalence of burnout occurs in primary care-oriented specialties, although there are indications that burnout isContinue reading “Is Burnout Adequately Addressed in Healthcare?”
Automation in Healthcare: Providing the Missing Piece of Usability
Automation in healthcare is being hailed as the “missing piece of usability,” with multiple use cases for data migration, greater efficiency, and revenue cycle management tasks. Yet, many aren’t aware of the additional benefits of adding automation to a digital health strategy. Many processes can benefit from the increased efficiency, reduced manual data input, andContinue reading “Automation in Healthcare: Providing the Missing Piece of Usability”
Build the Business Case for a Digital Workforce in Revenue Cycle
By adding a “digital workforce” to the revenue cycle, healthcare organizations are empowered to organize, streamline, and accelerate processes to improve accuracy, shorten reimbursement timeframes, and minimize inconsistencies. A key element to revenue cycle digitization is the strategic application of automation. By automating process tasks, revenue cycle managers can eliminate errors and tackle the mostContinue reading “Build the Business Case for a Digital Workforce in Revenue Cycle”
Hospital and Health System Mergers and Acquisitions – Achieve Organizational Goals Using the Power of Automation
