Smart Workflow Command
Defrag your workflow with military-grade task intelligence. Use the RCMOS workflow automation to:
Reduce denial resolution time
Enhance collector productivity
Prevent high-collar claim aging
Our highly specific RCM command center provides predictive alerts, smart task routing, and real-time nudges. Not only does it connect your revenue cycle components, but it also enhances your operational capability.
What Is Smart Workflow Command?
Smart workflow commend is the operational cockpit of the RCMOS board. It is the area where the machine assigns tasks to your human team. The main function of this layer is to ensure that each of your team members gets the task they can expertly handle.
In simple words, this layer is the mission control center of your RCM strategy. It receives data from all other RCMOS layers to issue alerts, nudges, and tasks to appropriate teams. The best thing about this layer is that it does task prioritization based on the task’s time sensitivity and the handler’s skill.
Simply put, Smart Workflow Command is your manager operations that ensures all your revenue team members get assigned the tasks they are really good at.
Pitfalls Of Disconnected RCM
Siloed revenue operations are a typical manifestation of an unintelligent revenue command. They can cause a severe productivity crisis in enterprise healthcare setups. Top issues include:
Alert overload
A lot of time goes wasted in arranging unprioritized alerts. As a result, high-value tasks get delayed.
Aging AR spikes:
Junior team members get assigned high-value denials and rejections. The result: piled-up ARs aging above 45 days.
Productivity black holes:
This means an absence or lack of performance metrics. It results in managers finding it extremely difficult to spot bottlenecks within the processes and provide appropriate coaching.
Revenue leaks:
Siloed data makes real-time denial prevention an impossibility. This directly translates into a revenue loss of 12-18%.
These challenges keep health systems from growing beyond reactive task management. This makes automation that can integrate and sync all components of the RCM the need of the hour.
Meet Your Revenue Cycle War Room
Smart workflow command brings value to your healthcare RCM through the following features.
Dashboards for Healthcare Workflows
The workflow command uses the system’s AI and operational data to create customizable dashboards for each role. The factors it analyzes include workflow patterns, user permissions, and relevant KPIs. The examples include specialized dashboards for billing clerks (whose job is to analyze task queues and coding alerts) and dashboards for the CFO (who monitors cash flow forecasts and denial trends).
Predictive RCM Workflow Alerts
This feature is a major upgrade over the basic notification system, which only issues somewhat obvious alerts. It is an AI-driven engine that uses the industry’s statistical data to identify looming threats. Its ML looks into historical denial patterns, payer behavior, and claim characteristics to flag high-risk transactions. And most importantly, it prescribes appropriate action.
Autonomous Task Routing
The role of this sub-engine is to assign tasks to optimal staffers. And for that, it uses three AI-weighted factors:
- Skill matching (e.g., assigning Medicare appeals to senior collectors with a success rate of over 85%)
- Workload balancing (capping active tasks per user to prevent burnout)
- Historical performance (comparing staffers’ performances and selecting the most appropriate one before assigning a high-value task)
Real-Time Collector Nudges
This feature is like an AI coach that uses micro-prompts to guide your workflows. Its guidance is hyper-contextual, meaning that it looks at the entire workflow and suggests the next best step in the form of a nudge. Here is how it works:
- Timing intelligence (e.g., a notification to call a payer at a specific time)
- Process optimization (e.g., suggesting the appropriate template for a particular type of appeal)
- Data-driven reminders (e.g., a reminder to update a patient’s insurance after a change in their medical record)
How Our RCM Workflow Automation Engine Benefits Your Practice
- It reduces workflow bottlenecks by 35%.
