1 Better Analysis of Revenue Cycle and Value-Based Purchasing Data Improves Bottom Line Written by Katy Smith Senior Business Analyst Health Care DataWorks
2 Better Analysis of Revenue Cycle and Value-Based Purchasing Data Improves Bottom Line The demands on health care organizations and particularly those individuals involved in the financial aspects of hospital systems to improve quality while reducing costs have never been greater. These demands have increased exponentially due to internal organizational pressure to achieve optimum savings as well as external pressures resulting from health care reform, meaningful use, and a host of other regulations. Time is of the essence for health care organizations and their financial teams. One needs to look no further than Value-Based Purchasing that will result in health care organizations being scored on a range of metrics, including patient satisfaction and quality of care. Failure to achieve scores within predetermined ranges will result in the withholding of millions of dollars in Medicare reimbursements, impacting the financial resources of many organizations in immediate and possibly devastating ways. The other reality, and a source of broad concern, centers on the fact that many commercial health insurers tend to follow suit. If history is any indication of future behavior, insurers tend to pattern their reimbursement models after those adopted by government programs, such as Medicare. If that were to occur, insurers could soon be seeking to tie their payments to similar metrics, which would only compound the Value-Based Purchasing challenge facing healthcare organizations. From a financial standpoint, the ability to access and analyze data related to revenue cycle performance, patient satisfaction, Value-Based Purchasing and a host of other measures can put organizations in a stronger position to achieve savings, increase their revenue and preserve Medicare reimbursements. The challenge for CFOs, financial analysts, revenue cycle directors, payor relations and others responsible for managing the finances of health care organizations is how best to get their hands on the relevant information to make timely and actionable decisions. Enterprise Data Warehouse is the answer Analysis of key information is critical to helping the financial team do its job. When the team has easy and timely access to relevant data across the organization, it can do a more efficient job of analyzing the information and helping the organization make more informed decisions. Too often, gaining access to this business intelligence is unwieldy because data is stored in organizational silos and disparate systems, i.e., spreadsheets, hard copies, electronic files, and a host of other 2
3 applications and databases. The point is: in order to analyze the data, financial experts find themselves struggling with the time-consuming process of collecting it and organizing it in a way that makes it possible to analyze. At best, this process contributes to a lack of efficiency and delays in corrective actions and, at worst, a loss of revenue. But it does not have to be this way. An Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) is the ideal solution for organizing, aggregating, and analyzing data. Essentially, it provides financial planners and analysts with the organization-wide information they need when they need it. The EDW sits atop a data model that can be implemented across every department. It does all the heavy lifting by aggregating data from the disparate departments and providing easy access to relevant information through user-friendly dashboards. Here are just a few examples of the data that is available in near real time through an EDW: Denial write-offs Copay volume Transmitted claims volume Self-pay collections Total cash collections Gross days in AR Contractual adjustments Rejections Charges An Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) is the ideal solution for organizing, aggregating and analyzing data. Essentially, it provides financial planners and analysts with the organizationwide information they need when they need it. The EDW sits atop a data model that can be implemented across every department The EDW, at a glance, enables financial departments to get a broad view and then drill down into departments or key areas from a computer interface without having to dig through mountains of documents. Among the benefits an EDW provides: Increasing Medicare reimbursement by providing the tools to meet criteria, such as Value-Based Purchasing requirements. Assess whether payors are taking longer to pay by charting how the breakdown of AR by age has changed over time. 3
4 Five ways an EDW can make an immediate impact with revenue cycle An EDW helps organizations accurately manage the front and back end of the revenue cycle process, from registration and patient access to charge entry, billing, and follow up. Here are five ways an EDW makes an impact on the bottom line: 1) Improves patient eligibility determination at point of registration. Getting claims out the door quickly and accurately is critical to bringing in revenue in a timely manner. Key components of this process are determining patient eligibility and accurate registration. An estimated 70 percent of the information needed to submit an accurate claim and obtain timely payment is gathered at the point of registration. But dates of birth, proper plan information, and other data is not always collected correctly or verified, leading to costly delays in reimbursements or payments down the road. The EDW platform developed by Health Care DataWorks Five ways an EDW can make an immediate incorporates a patient access impact with revenue cycle measure that helps patient access managers track the 1.

Maximizes Value-Based Purchasing. contains applications that enable financial departments to view potential problem areas to take corrective action sooner rather than later. For example, if a particular team in one hospital unit continues to have issues with patient eligibility verification or accurate registration, financial departments would immediately be able to identify the issue early on and initiate new training measures to ensure staff is inputting all the information needed for the claim. 4
5 2) Increases the clean claim submission rate. The EDW tracks clean claim submission rates. This metric is critically important when you consider that it costs $25 on average to resubmit a claim. Those dollars add up quickly and exponentially. The EDW provides a variety of options for analyzing and isolating clean claim submission rates, i.e., by department, by payor, etc. to get both a clinical and financial view of trends. When causes of clean claim denials can be identified, steps can be taken to rectify the problem without having to literally pull and review each claim. A clean claim denial is a controllable denial. If staff is trained properly in submitting clean claims and has the applications to identify clean claim denial trends in nearly real time, the resubmission rates will drop, leading to timely receipts of revenue and overall lowering of resubmission costs. 3) Enhances contract performance and denials management. Health care organizations must be sure they are getting paid what they are owed under their insurer contracts. To do so, they need to ensure that payors are meeting their contractual obligations. Monitoring payor performance, including timeliness and accuracy of payment as well as active denials management, can lead to more timely payment and minimize payment errors that can lead to lost revenue. The reality is errors in what organizations are paid or are not paid from insurers happen more often than realized. Many organizations seek to identify and correct such errors by conducting time consuming and lengthy audits, then resubmitting claims after the fact. It is not unusual for such audits to be conducted up to a year after the initial claim errors have occurred, resulting in auditors having to reconstruct and review mountains of claim information. It is much more efficient to address claim payment errors as soon as possible after they occur. An EDW provides a view of claims as they are submitted and paid, enabling organizations to identify payor payment errors to address them efficiently and quickly for correction. With the denials management application, staff can review denials by payor, department or even by physician to determine the contributing factors, such as failure to secure pre-certification for procedures or medications. As a result, proactive corrective measures or training can be put into place to increase claims payments and reduce denials. 4) Increases copay and self-pay collections. Two forces are at work: Patient liability (copayments, coinsurance and deductibles) under many health plans are increasing, and the number of patients who are self-pay is rising at a high rate. This means more money is at risk of not being collected from patients. The EDW s revenue cycle dashboard gives 5
6 access to copay and self-pay information by department and even at the point-of-entry registration. The copay collection rate can be tracked in near real time, as can the self-pay trends. It always is more difficult to collect copays and self-pay bills on the back end than upfront. This application can be used to identify where copays and self-payments are not being collected to their fullest potential, and empowers organizations to take steps to increase upfront payments through better training, new procedures and the like. For example, establishing or verifying alternative means of payment by self-pay patients and putting them in touch with a financial counselor at the initial point of entry has been a proven method of increasing collections in many hospital settings. 5) Maximizes Value-Based Purchasing. Medicare reimbursements are a substantial portion of revenue for many hospitals. Under the Value-Based Purchasing program that took effect in 2012, health care organizations stand to have a minimum of 1 percent of their Medicare payments withheld until they can demonstrate improvements with 20 pre-determined measures. These metrics focus on performance rather than reporting, and range from scores on quality of patient care to patient satisfaction rates. Health Care DataWorks offers a Value-Based Purchasing application that enables organizations to be proactive, thereby putting them in a better position to recoup their full reimbursement and potentially receive even more as a reward for scoring higher in key metrics. Some of the features include: A calculator to determine how much will be withheld and how much can be made back if performance rises. What if scenario modeling to determine how much they will lose or gain if they perform better or worse in certain categories. For example, a 1 percent improvement in a metric could lead to $1 million in revenue. Root cause analysis to identify and isolate problems or issues that are dragging down scores so the organization can take steps to improve a specific metric. The EDW by Health Care DataWorks is an organization-wide solution that can be implemented in stages with an initial focus on the financial side. The underlying data model provides financial teams with credible and reliable business intelligence to address the challenges and issues they face within their areas of responsibility. As a result, the bottom lines of hospital and healthcare organizations become the primary beneficiaries of the actionable and proactive decision making that comes from the analysis of this comprehensive data. 6
