Optimized charge processing reduces errors, removes a layer of COVID-19 exposure risk

Physician practices that use paper to manage their hospital charges are not only inefficient, but potentially increase COVID-19 exposure to providers and office staff who have to handle the paper. As a manager, how are you going to eliminate that exposure risk and adapt to an efficient, remote-friendly way of managing hospital charges?

Allscripts Partner unisonMD has developed an app to address those challenges.

Working efficiently and easing burden

unisonMD uses a collaborative approach to enable practices to optimize physician and billing workflows for hospital encounters. It bolsters inpatient care coordination and improves financial results by enabling practices to easily eliminate charge entry lag and lost and unrecorded charges.

This application gives doctors the tools they need to get them through their rounds more efficiently and ease administrative burden. Inpatients, new consults and scheduled procedures are all in one place. They know who needs to be seen and what’s going on with them, and can enter charges for care rendered in just a few clicks.

When care transitions to the next provider, all of that information, including to-do’s and instructions, are waiting for them – without swapping paper notes, walking the floor together or meeting in the doctors’ lounge to discuss.

Improving revenue cycle from anywhere

unisonMD provides the billing team real-time line of sight of rounding activities, and the tools to organize and shorten the revenue cycle, from anywhere. It connects with the hospitals where you round to automate the real-time flow of patient demographics and insurance information into patient lists and billing workflow, eliminating error-prone, manual entry of data. All hospital charges are centralized and automatically collated so the billing team can begin the day working charges.

The app includes secure messaging for provider-to-provider and provider-to-biller communications. Powerful analytics reporting makes it effortless to identify any missing charges and establish productivity benchmarking for staff.
