1 will mark a year since I joined Cerner, and what a year it has been. Over the past several months, I've had the pleasure of forming relationships across our associate and client base and collecting feedback to ensure we are providing solutions and services that meet the evolving business needs of our clients and the industry we serve. While the very nature of our business requires change and agility, I believe our solutions and services have made tremendous progress in the first half of 2017. Last December, I on behalf of more than 3,000 associates that form our revenue cycle management (RCM) organization at Cerner. These plans center around three core advancements: code improvements, advanced associate expertise and an improved delivery infrastructure. Patient Access Training ManualAs we press forward into the second half of the year and in the spirit of transparency, I'd like to share the progress we've made so far. It is also important to reinforce our focus areas as we look ahead to 2018. Preparing for tomorrow, today: revenue cycle management Most of our clients are now familiar with the term clinically driven revenue cycle, which describes how our integrated solutions and services are designed to bring clinical, financial and operational data together to optimize performance, guide decision-making and reduce costs across acute and ambulatory venues. Earth quakes study guide answers. Because the manual solution is distributed electronically, all known errors are promptly corrected and no error lists are maintained. As we look to the future, our RCM portfolio should not be driven by clinical information alone. Increasing expectations of the patient and our broader population compel us to deliver solutions and services that are consumer- and statistic-driven. A consumer's experience begins and ends with the revenue cycle. One could argue that RCM is just as important as the clinical experience to overall consumer satisfaction, given it's the first and last interaction with a provider. Our strategies focus on innovation to help providers meet consumer expectations so they can better understand and manage their own financial information. For example, recent enhancements in self-service scheduling and walk-in workflows contribute to a better experience at check-in. At the same time, we're developing new scheduling functionality to help front-end staff and consumers better manage future appointments. We also understand that access to data on a granular level drives decision-making and efficiency in the revenue cycle. Analytics plays a crucial role in compliance with alternative payment models, which threaten reimbursement if data-driven and evidence-based workflows are not in place. A 1 percent reduction in reimbursement could cost millions of dollars, which most organizations cannot afford to absorb. ![]() Patient Access Training Materials![]() Training Siemens Soarian Financials Training.pdf Financial Patient Access Training Manual Soarian [PDF] Repair Manual Mercury 115 Hp Outboard 1975.pdf. Clinical, financial and operational data working together. In celebration of Patient Access Week (April 1-7, 2018), here are some considerations for preparing. That's why we're committed to embedding analytics and statistically driven workflows within our solutions to present meaningful information that guides care coordination while preventing unnecessary costs. To deliver results across solution enhancements, our work is motivated by four guiding principles: make decision-making easier, timely and more efficient while leveraging analytics. Ultimately, all of our efforts in RCM roll up to helping our clients increase yield, accelerate cash and decrease costs. We can achieve that together through an integrated experience that is not just clinically driven but designed around the consumer with meaningful, statistical data. Here are some of the results we're seeing so far. Code improvements Innovation and development continues for both Cerner Millennium® and Cerner Soarian® RCM solutions. Leveraging best practice functionality in both platforms allows us to move faster in developing new enhancements and solutions for the benefit of all our clients. Earlier this year, clients that use our revenue cycle solutions in either acute or ambulatory care venues had the opportunity to take recent code enhancements designed around the six focus areas below. Additionally, future development efforts revolve around these six areas to enable long-term improvement: • Optimize the user experience: Guided scheduling presents a series of questions based on patient data and symptoms to better determine the most appropriate time, frequency and resource allocation for appointment scheduling. Future development includes optimized workflows across patient access designed to reduce clicks and streamline user experience. • Financial clearance with Experian Health integration: With Experian Health, near real-time eligibility verification is integrated within a single patient access workflow. Financial clearance checklists present rules-based, encounter-level tracking that shows which tasks need to be completed during registration, reducing the likelihood of claim denials and corrective work downstream.
