Without technology, data consolidation is difficult and

excessively manualTechnology allows for consistent reporting, data mining, data sharing and root cause analysis. There is too much data to handle manually and there are limited resources already at hospitals. Minimizing/preventing denials is one

of the greatest opportunities a hospital has to improve cash flow and reduce write-offs.

Without technology…paper, time and work effort are wasted

in manual processesTechnology allows for denial capture, denial workflow,

denial inventory management, and in some cases easy access to key documents a follow-up staff member would need. Denials will not go away and resubmission/appeals need to be done timely (or they may result in write-offs)
