Areas of inefficiency are identified in effort to maximize your operation’s output. Sigma 6 Operational Consulting identifies these areas of inefficiency starting with your front end workforce and processes to identify bottlenecks and points of improvement. Sometimes simple, yet overlooked solutions can make significant impacts down the operational line. The goal is to optimize and standardize your patient flows, treatments, and documentations in order to allow the backend workforce to capture every deserved reimbursement, monitor compliance, and maximize patient outcomes.
After the initial operational consult, your organization can incorporate Sigma 6 Operational Solutions to improve the patient experience across the care continuum. In turn, your organization will increase revenue by creating a unique, fully orchestrated patient experience.
By focusing on evidence-based, clinically appropriate medical utilization and care decisions, your medical operation can engage, attract, and retain patients. Patients will be empowered to shop for services, schedule appointments, and pay for care at your organization.
Flow processes for the entire patient experience from check-in to check-out at your facility can be improved with the use of innovations such as touchless registration and check-in methods. Financial clearance processes can be streamlined with immediate verification by use of digital communication tools to satisfy patients and increase volume.
Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) audits will identify if your operation’s medical staff and workforce provide an accurate representation of a patient’s clinical status within the medical record which ends up being translated into coded data. Accuracy of the initial information dictates which coded data is applicable to the payors, leading to accurate and full reimbursements. CDI audits can help minimize denials and minimize the risk of loss to an insurance payer audit.
Incorporating Sigma 6 Operational Solutions provides your operation with an efficient turn key option. When you hire and train staff, they are expected to maximize their output to provide your operation’s full potential; however, we know this is not always the case.
With decades of leadership in the field improving hundreds of health systems, hospitals, practices, and medically-related businesses, Sigma 6 Operational Solutions will give your organization a head start or the rebuilding it needs to run at full capacity. Monitoring, evaluating, developing, and initiating new processes will improve revenue, compliance, and most importantly your patient outcomes.
