1 1 SUSTAINING REVENUE INTEGRITY WITH EMR IMPLEMENTATION MICHAEL BRENNAN SENIOR MANAGER CAROLINE RADER ZNANIEC EXPERIENCED MANAGER AHIA 32 nd Annual Conference August 25-28, 2013 Chicago, Illinois

2 Today s Session 2 Health care providers of various size, capabilities and means are implementing i healthcare h technologies, such as EMR systems at a growing rate. Implementing such a system is a large effort and often the communication not only between the information technology, but also the human stakeholders can be the greatest barrier to a successful implementation; and most especially when it comes time to connect the clinical processes to those that result in revenue. This course will describe the responsibilities of each stakeholder as it relates to revenue integrity from planning to post-implementation monitoring. Participants will be provided with a general planning tool to including an implementation checklist, implementation work plan template, example audit reports and troubleshooting guide.

3 What is Revenue Integrity? 3 Revenue integrity activities focus more on process improvement and include those processes most closely involved in the front, middle and back-end revenue cycle processes. Sound activities iti can provide for the following: Identification and correction to the processes and systems that lead to lost revenue opportunities through the creation of processes to ensure the accurate capture and reporting, translation and use of data to support strategic initiatives, and Assurance that every chargeable procedure, item or service is coded, documented, captured, billed and paid according to the terms of government guidelines and payer contracts

4 4 Who are the Stakeholders?

5 Stakeholders and the Successful EMR 5 Key Strategies: Identification of stakeholders Ownership by stakeholders Proactive participation of stakeholders Designation of a liaison between IT and Revenue Cycle Establishing a culture of revenue integrity Establish standard key indicators for monitoring Actively monitoring change and opportunities Prompt response to issues and opportunities

12 Case Study #1 12 A large hospital has implemented a new EMR solution. Registration errors have increased from 2% before implementation to an alarming 10%. Registration wait times and verification rates have remained stable and acceptable.

13 Case Study #2 13 Hospital A is meeting if not exceeding all coding benchmark expectations prior to the implementation of the EMR solution. Immediately post go-live the hospital experiences declines in sustaining the benchmarks in the following ow KPIs: Error reports/ques Late charges Coding queries Query response rate

14 Case Study #3 14 Hospital A has 6 Days of DNFB (6 x AGDR) before implementing an enterprise EMR solution. During implementation, DNFB increases to 10 Days. Coding productivity remains the same. Billing productivity remains the same.

15 Common Pitfalls 15 Not evaluating all revenue cycle processing vendor relationships Not involving the appropriate stakeholders at the optimal time, task and activity i Not taking advantage of automation to optimize processes for financial and operational improvements Not developing processes to sustain improvements Over reacting to immediate KPI deterioration Minimal claims testing in both systems Not defining and outlining measurement tools, methodologies and expectations

16 Preparing for Implementation 16 Establish a revenue cycle command center Daily revenue cycle meetings Overstaff high volume areas Dedicated liaison between IT and revenue cycle departments Risk mitigation activities Show staff as many visuals as possible, make them comfortable for implementation *Review of handouts
