In their pursuit to improve patient access and enhance patient financial experience, health systems are looking at automation as an immediate solution. A survey conducted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMMS) in 2016 revealed that over 30 percent of health care systems are still reliant on manual processes to manage key claims workflows. By automating the revenue cycle, providers can save as much as $8.5 billion per year, according to the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare.
In addition to the financial impact of automating the revenue cycle, other benefits would include significant reduction in administrative chores for health care professionals, streamlined workflows in the revenue cycle, and a notable reduction in human errors.
