In this Becker's Healthcare article, Becker's states that nearly half of all patients have yet to schedule a visit online. While having a multi-channel digital front door is critical to growth, this article states "Half of patients say they still prefer making appointments by phone." At Abax Health, we firmly believe that having an AI powered call center which uses AI to reduce patient wait times and abandonment rates, but also has a live human on the phone to help the patient navigate the complexities of scheduling and financially clearing a procedure dramatically improves the customer experience.

What if your clinicians could reduce the time required to comb through pages of EMR data to determine appropriate annual coding for their patients? ​ ​ The new HCC Optimizer tool, included in Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI)’s Intelligent Health Management System, HealthVision, streamlines HCC recapture.​ ​ Now, for every applicable HCC, you can compare each patient to those with similar patterns of condition diagnosis over 3 years. This helps clinicians answer, is this diagnosis likely to re-occur? How much weight does this diagnosis carry? ​ ​ HDAI’s privileged access to the Medicare database allows us to identify patient-specific coding opportunities based on coding patterns from millions of patients across the country thus uncovering gaps in code recapture that are most likely to occur and to have an impact on complexity scores. For ACO beneficiaries, this includes opportunities that may have been previously captured outside of your system and your EMR. ​ ​ HCC Gaps can be viewed by provider group and provider to enable prioritization and impactful action. The resulting list helps clinicians to streamline visit preparation and enhance provider-patient conversations. ​ ​ How do your providers prioritize HCC coding efforts? ​ #AI #ML #populationhealth #accountablecare #valuebasedcare ​

Nonprofit hospitals face unique challenges with shrinking margins and rising costs. To navigate these financial pressures, health system leaders should focus on strategic areas that can enhance operational efficiency and patient care. Here are four key strategies for nonprofit hospitals: 1️⃣ Prioritize Patient Experience: Enhancing the patient experience is essential in building patient loyalty and improving hospital and health system reimbursement. Focus on personalized care plans and coordinated care to ensure patients feel valued and well-cared for. 2️⃣ Conduct Community Health Needs Assessment: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates nonprofit hospitals to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years. This guiding document helps hospitals address the socio-economic and health care needs of their community, driving all community-based education programs and interventions. 3️⃣ Provide Community Education: Nonprofit hospitals can prove their community benefit by offering education programs based on CHNA findings. Topics such as opioid addiction, obesity, diabetes management, and nutrition are vital. Partnering with community organizations can amplify these efforts and strengthen community bonds. 4️⃣ Focus on Quality Care: Quality care is the lifeblood of nonprofit hospitals. Implement strategies like telemedicine, NP & PA coverage models, and management services to increase efficiency, cut costs, and generate more revenue. High-quality care ensures patient satisfaction and drives better health outcomes, which in turn supports financial stability. By concentrating on these strategic areas, nonprofit hospitals can improve their financial standing and continue providing essential health care services to their communities. #TogetherWeHeal #healthcare #patientcare
