HIM operations impact your hospital in myriad ways. Run optimally, HIM can result in better customer service and more money towards your bottom line. Overlooked, and the pain will be felt throughout your organization.
Here’s how QHR can help.
Efficient HIM department; efficient hospital.
QHR experts will show you the impact of HIM on your cash flow. We’ll provide strategies that can help you decrease days from discharge to billing, and we’ll explore innovative methods to improve efficiency and accuracy of processing functions.
With an improved HIM department, the facility can demonstrate its intent to be in full compliance with all CMS guidelines and fulfill its ongoing commitment to achieving accurate and proper documentation for appropriate financial reimbursement.
As part of your operational review, we evaluate interaction with key departments throughout the facility, to help you develop support for implementation of improvements.
QHR’s program can enhance your hospitals:
- Resource allocation
- HIM workflow and productivity
- Customer satisfaction
- Operating expenses
- Cash flow, resulting from a reduction in DNB
- Return on EMR investment with coordinated process and workflow
QHR helps you define your HIM priorities and develop the resources necessary to reach them.
We do this through:
- Review and assessment of typical HIM operational policies and procedures related to the management of medical information against national standards and best practices
- Evaluation of key data indicators for HIM staffing and productivity analysis
- Assessment of work processes affecting discharge not billed (DNB) accounts receivables (A/R) days due to coding delays
- Evaluation of tools used to proactively manage DNB A/R days due to coding delays
- Identification and prioritization of opportunities to strengthen the health information management department operations with the production of a management action plan
- Evaluation of HIM interdependencies as a whole hospital approach within the facility
A critical advantage.
QHR will help you achieve best business practice for smooth information flow: a critical advantage for quality care, productivity, timely billing and regulatory compliance.
