Importance of Productivity Transparency in Hospital
Measuring productivity plays a major part in all hospitals. In services oriented tracking productivity and quality is key to identifying the growth and performance of that hospital. Healthcare RCM and medical billing have the same scenario where the operations and the staff needs to be monitored on a daily basis to understand the quality of work and provide training if there is any room for improvement.
The greatest challenge the medical groups and hospitals face is that their in-house medical billing department or the medical billing outsourcing vendors are not transparent enough for the medical group’s management such as practice owners, CFOs, and practice managers to determine the performance of the medical practice and focus on the growth of their business.
Why transparency of productivity and quality data is essential?
Productivity and quality data transparency is a way to improve hospital or medical groups’ human resource utilization. This is because having enough data facilitates the development of processes of the medical practices, ensures that RCM staff and medical billers have the right orientation of revenue cycle, allows for better staff coordination, and ultimately saves time and money.
How to make the productivity and quality data of medical billers be transparent?
There are various ways we can have the productivity and quality data of medical billers be transparent:
- Manual reports.
- Automated reports.
- Platforms.
Manual reports:
Manual reports are old-school excel sheet reports where the billing supervisor gathers billing staff productivity on a daily weekly or monthly basis and shares it with management like CFOs, RCM directors, etc.
Automated Reports:
Automated reports are using the same manual methods by using your staff portal, however, detailed productivity information is not available as it only has basic features.
Platforms:
Now, this is the revolutionary way of tracking the productivity and quality of your medical billing and RCM staff. Our productivity platform Team Billing Bridge does the exact thing. All our medical billing and RCM staff will use this and update their products in the platform indicating the target number achieved for that particular day.
