Surgery centers can uncover new ways to save money while still supporting quality patient outcomes.
Here are 5 ways to leverage the data you currently have in order to find hidden efficiencies:
- Check your reimbursements by procedure to help identify codes that are losing money.
- Reveal the highest-cost supplies and attempt to standardize these products and decrease SKU count in order to save money.
- Compare physician performance to identify any best practices that might benefit your entire physician group.
- Improve patient throughput by identifying reports that capture the amount of time patients spend in your surgery center, from sign-in to discharge.
- Find new billing opportunities with implants by using EHR or PM system data to match implant procedures with actual billing.
