A Comprehensive Approach
Our clinical solution encompasses clinical transformation, case management, and clinical documentation.

Clinical Transformation
Our Clinical Transformation solution develops and implements a process that decreases variability in care practices and cost per case for selected groups of patient by MS-DRG grouping, while ensuring quality outcomes.

Our process assesses and selects the top MS-DRGs for redesign, analyzes variability drivers, and identifies best practices for care management. We work collaboratively with all stakeholders to implement new care practices. The result is sustained or improved quality metrics coupled with reduced cost per case.

Case Management
Our Case Management solution manages and optimizes Length of Stay and clinical resource utilization. We establish a multidisciplinary team to design and implement a new case management model. We work collaboratively with stakeholders while developing an infrastructure to support the model. To ensure successful implementation, we teach and train staff and work with physician and nursing leadership regarding LOS reduction. The result is a measurable and sustainable reduction in LOS and excess days.

Clinical Documentation Improvement
Our Clinical Documentation solution improves the quality and comprehensiveness of physician documentation in the medical record. By focusing on both compliance and appropriate payment, our solution enables physicians and caregivers to document key terminology and obtain recognition for the work effort, resources consumed, severity of illness, and complexity of care.

Our solution includes training for individuals with key roles in clinical documentation including case management, physicians, and coders. We design a workflow process for documentation specialists responsible for day-to-day activities. Finally, we provide customized management reports to track and monitor the success of the program. The result is more accurate and timely coded data and the most appropriate DRG assignment.
