Many emergency departments have plenty of talent to care for patients but have not made concerted efforts to streamline efficiency and optimize revenue. Outdated policies, less than cooperative ancillary department and services, overcrowding, upcoming JCAHO inspections... many factors may place unnecessary stress on your operations. Inadequate physician medical record documentation can seriously undermine revenue as can inadequate chart control or selection of poor vendors for billing and coding services. For those departments doing “well”, an in depth analysis of the practice can provide insights needed to move to the next level. Dr. Swidler can help with all of these issues and more!
