Healthcare financial leaders face a variety of threats to the revenue cycle. Common challenges include manual processes, the lack of integrated workflows, and different IT systems as well as external challenges, such as regulatory issues and shifting reimbursement regulations. Furthermore, changes in billing methods, new technologies, lack of staff training, and obsolete charging practices force healthcare organizations to leave a portion of net revenue on the table. To address these obstacles, revenue cycle leaders need granular data that reveals the root cause of lost charges. With the Health Catalyst VitalIntegrity™ web-based application, health systems can efficiently manage hospital charge capture processes, detect compliance issues, and secure more earned revenue. By revealing the root cause of every revenue challenge, VitalIntegrity enables teams to minimize leakage from under- and over-charging, late or missing coding, mismatched charges and supplies, and a wide range of CDM-related matters. Adam Ziegel, Director of Product Management, demonstrates how VitalIntegrity can help your organization identify considerably more revenue opportunities.
