How we assist you in...
Revenue Recovery:
We identify the accounts that slip between the processes and help you recover
reimbursement. You know the accounts are out there; we can find them.
We have helped over 100 hospitals and healthcare providers to recover their ROI
the first year of implementation, and to go on finding millions every year. We help you find out where
you're losing money. We can also help hospital staff mine the data
to identify reasons for underpayments and denials as we help recover dollars. We
can set up reports to fit in with your processes, set up new queries and reports
to find the gaps in data and dollars, and help staff to learn how to manage the
processes themselves.
Contract Management:
We provide system selection, implementation, and technical services that help hospitals to set up accurate managed
care contract rates. Whether you need interim assistance because of staff
turnover or medical leave, or longer term assistance with complex contract
rates, we are here to help.
Quality Management: We
provide technical services that help hospitals use software for specific quality
data projects. We help to set up the data collection and reporting for JCAHO
Core Measures, CMS HQI or special data collection projects.

How we work:
For business process
consulting, we believe that your preferences are the most important
component in the success of any project, and the entire project is built on
those preferences. We
perform an assessment, make recommendations, and develop a project plan with you
so that goals, tasks, and expectations are clear. Since you can't tackle all
the changes at once, we guide you through the process and become the safety net
you need to make the journey.
For technical consulting, we provide services on a
retainer or project basis, arranged to meet your
needs. You decide if you need a block of hours per year or per project.
Technical consulting includes report writing, interface troubleshooting,
contract coding, custom programming and training.
