CorroHealth offers a cloud-based solution to significantly reduce and eliminate labor-intensive and error-prone tasks involved in Health Information Management (HIM). PULSE Coding Automation Technologyâ„¢ automates all aspects of the workflow across coding and charge capture.
Beyond historic CAC (computer-assisted coding) and NLP (natural language processing) solutions, CorroHealth offers knowledge-based artificial intelligence (AI) customized to the unique needs of each client.
NLP elevates to the next level with clinical concept extraction designed to generate clinical metadata. This metadata classifies clinical semantics and determines the relationship among clinical concepts. With clinical concepts properly applied, charges and codes autonomously derive from the solution utilizing facility-tailored rules processing and learning engines. The small percentage that does not meet the confidence threshold of the platform gets routed to appropriate coding professionals for finalization.
Ongoing shortages in coding professionals have made healthcare provider organizations increasingly reliant on automated coding solutions. Autonomous coding creates a highly accurate final coded chart for a large majority of records. Intelligent coding automation technology can code charts within seconds and understand when human intervention is necessary. Improving the productivity of coding operations with automation helps address limited access to key coding professionals.
Fluctuations in patient volumes can create significant spikes in coding workload. With automation, you can address these increases in demand easier. Typical patient volume spikes without proper plans to address them lead to increased Accounts Receivable.
Inaccuracies in medical coding and billing can cost a successful healthcare organization its reputation and billions of dollars. Coders that lack the knowledge necessary to assign the correct codes can negatively impact a code assignment and lead to investigations or audits. Autonomous coding is a cost-effective way to reduce errors and low-quality performance from inexperienced coders.
Timing is one of the more important factors in revenue cycle management. Autonomous coding optimizes turnaround time in a critical step of the full cycle.
The revenue cycle is constantly under the microscope to address areas, teams, or processes holding up dropped claims. If documentation gaps occur or bills remain incomplete due to coding issues, discharged, not final billed (DNFB) cases become the focus of revenue cycle leadership. Unmanageable DNFB caseloads with backlogs representing several days of revenue can become significant and unsustainable for a hospital. Automating this process can ease some of the stress of these ongoing challenges for coding staff.
Budgetary cuts in the Health Information Management department often mean existing team members stretched across multiple areas of responsibility. Automating labor-intensive processes gives more freedom to skilled professionals who are wasting their time on basic tasks.
The CorroHealth autonomous coding solution extends beyond existing rudimentary coding automation platforms. The solution automates the application of charges, CPTs, HCPCs, Diagnoses, and E/M levels.
