The MHA’s Endorsed Business Partner (EBP) program promotes industry-leading firms and connects member hospitals to solutions that alleviate pain points. The MHA recently endorsed ModusOne Health, which is the only physician-founded and operated clinical diagnosis improvement company (CDxI®).
Providers play a critical role in documenting patient care, which directly impacts accurate reimbursement rates for healthcare organizations. However, many health systems have not fully appreciated the degree to which their quality scores can soar through physician-led provider engagement and improvement.
A CDI Executive Director for a major health system in the southeast recognized, high quality scores can be achieved with a dedicated focus upon educating providers, providing standards, and monitoring improvement. “Congrats [to ModusOne] because the work that you do helped get us here!”
This health system – spanning 17 inpatient hospitals and dozens of outpatient clinics – scored top marks on national quality ratings (including a nearly 70% reduction in the excess Length of Stay “LOS” days), while achieving its best financial performance.
The idea that health systems must choose financial gain or quality scores is a false paradigm. With an intelligent and targeted approach, financial success and quality optimization go hand-in-hand. A physician leader in the Northwest, “I just wasn’t really sure you could engage [the providers], but we have now been consistently generating more revenue. We are very appreciative of the great work you all have done for us.” stated after seeing the combination of lower sepsis mortality and higher revenues.
