Patient Access Review
If your facility is like most, it has become an ongoing struggle to establish and maintain adequate Patient Access procedures due to constant government and third-party insurance changes, staff turnover, training and system limitations. This common situation often results in critical registration errors, decreased patient satisfaction, and little to no point of service collections of deductibles and co-pays.
End the waiting game
Challenge
Patient Access is the beginning of the revenue cycle and the patient experience; therefore, deficiencies in Patient Access often flow downstream to other departments, exacerbating the issues. Challenges typically stem from a multitude of areas including education, training, staffing levels, workflows, and/or poorly implemented computer software. Each deficiency must be addressed as part of a coordinated solution necessary to obtain long-term improvement.
