Our story begins with the recognition of a challenge\u2014a challenge that many healthcare providers face. This large, comprehensive health system, in conjunction with an orthopedic physician group, had already invested heavily in continuous quality improvement and ranked as one of the most efficient practices in the country. However, they faced a significant hurdle. In their quest for continuous improvement, they sought strategies to increase patient engagement, particularly in the context of orthopedic surgery. Despite their commitment, they struggled to effectively engage patients through the <\/span>EHR portal<\/span><\/a> and phone calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>

[vc_custom_heading text=”The Project” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:28px|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal”]

Recognizing the challenge at hand, BillingParadise and the health system embarked on a journey to find a solution. Together, we developed a digital patient engagement strategy that would ultimately redefine the patient experience. An interdisciplinary team meticulously selected <\/span>theBillingBridge<\/span><\/a> for Patient Engagement by Billingparadise, a cutting-edge platform designed to deliver patient education, provide reminders, and gather assessment data before and after surgical procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients became central to our project. They received training on how to use theBillingBridge during their office visits, ensuring they were well-prepared for their surgical journeys. After the office visit, patients received messages, watched videos, submitted wound photos, entered subjective and objective information throughout their preparation and recovery, and had the ability to pose questions that were automatically routed to the appropriate care team member for a timely response. Moreover, an extensive library of <\/span>clinical best practices<\/span><\/a> and communication protocols was customized to incorporate specific preferences and details of the practice into the engagement pathways. These pathways were designed to launch automatically based on scheduling and admission, discharge, and transfer feeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>

[vc_custom_heading text=”The Result” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:28px|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal”]

The outcome of our collaborative efforts was nothing short of remarkable. Patient engagement soared, and readiness for surgery reached new heights. The health system experienced high patient adoption rates, and many of the patients’ questions were addressed proactively, significantly improving the effectiveness of care.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>

  • A resounding 29 percent relative reduction in patient call volume.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • An impressive 10 percent relative reduction in the length of stay, leading to 26 percent more inpatients being discharged within 24 hours of surgery.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A striking 53 percent relative reduction in emergency department visits following surgery, coupled with a six percent relative reduction in readmissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    As one of the orthopedic surgeons noted, <\/span>“BillingParadise has fostered a shorter length of stay while also reducing readmissions by supporting patients as they recover at home.
