"The historical basis of enterprise software vendor advantage has been disrupted by the dramatic shift in volume from inpatient to outpatient settings and reimbursement reforms that motivate hospitals to clinically integrate with independent networks of physicians," said Ivo Nelson, chairman of Encore Health Resources. "This change in future reimbursement models combined with the need to electronically integrate community trading partners (such as physicians, health plans, hospitals and post-acute providers) creates an enormous opportunity for SCI clients to utilize its advanced web-based rules and workflow engine to extend their competitive advantage across markets and communities."
SCI's Clinical Integration Engine™ intelligently orchestrates patient care across communities based on condition, episode and population health -- aligning reimbursement with clinical appropriateness and compliance. This level of rich electronic and economic integration with community providers, patients and plans leads to market advantages and other quantifiable benefits including:
Incremental referrals/orders from non-employed community physicians
Reduced out-of-network revenue leakage from employed or acquired/owned physician practices;
Lower re-admission rates by electronic integration of patient discharge management, ordering, scheduling and follow up patient compliance; and
Fewer health plan denials and underpayments through verification of medical necessity, authorization and additional front-end revenue management checks.
SCI's patent-protected revenue management solutions enable clients to increase revenue and cash flow, optimize resources and physician referral patterns all while improving patient satisfaction. SCI's advanced rules and workflow engines strengthen alignment with both employed and independent community providers, achieving secure clinical and financial information exchange among providers regardless of their EMR vendor, technology or level of automation.
