Data IQ’s Post

From predictive analytics for safer discharges to operational improvements and ROI measurement, SNFs are embracing technology to improve outcomes and forge stronger partnerships in healthcare.

Critical workforce shortages at American hospitals extend beyond clinical staff. Administrative staff working with antiquated and often manual data entry systems are also overburdened. Recently to address these and other provider challenges, Becker’s Hospital Review interviewed 51 industry leaders to ask “if hospital executives could wave a magic wand” where would they prioritize technology investments? Several leaders expressed a desire for revenue cycle management improvement through process automation, reduction in errors, and reduced payment integrity issues. 4L Data’s Integr8 AI™ powered provider data management and payment integrity solutions do provide the “magic” to improve RCM by automating provider credentialing, provider data management, and identifying billing errors before they leave the hospital. #revenuecyclemanagement #providercredentialing #medicalcredentialing Read the article here:https://hubs.li/Q02bqQTx0

Interesting read on where health IT vendors should be focusing to alleviate the many challenges of hospital operations and administration. #healthinformationmanagement #providercredentialing

When creating an efficient #SkilledNursing clinical dashboard, the most important question to consider first is: what is the most critical data that needs to be included? Next, the end result must be considered: how will this data drive patient care decisions? The healthcare landscape continues to transition from a fee-for-service to a #ValueBasedCare model at a rapid pace. Clinical dashboards will play a crucial role in aligning care teams’ efforts to drive better outcomes under a VBC model.

Provider and Nurse Burnout In an article by Connor Bice & Miles Hepworth, published 01/22/2024, the authors reported on the findings of survey performed by KLAS Research of more than 20,000 physicians and 32,000 nurses between January 2022 and August 2023. The key findings were: ·      Burnout rates are leveling to slightly decreasing but remain about pre-pandemic levels. ·      Respondents cited staffing shortages as a key contributor (54%), followed by after-hours workload (45%). ·      Other factors were lack of control over their workload and EHR inhibiting efficiency and quality. ·      Respondents classified as “starting” to feel burnout, also cited operational inefficiencies whereas people already “burned-out” cited organizational issues. Both physicians and nurses thought solutions included improved staffing to reduce patient panel size, reduction in excessive bureaucratic tasks, and fixing inefficient workflows. Both groups also wanted better alignment with leadership – being heard, being understood, and feeling supported. Physicians also asked for “improved EHR efficiency.” Whereas nurses wanted better pay – to improve retention and lessen the value differential between staff nurses and travel nurses. As a process improvement practitioner, I see potential to reduce burnout by improving operations to reduce chaos and retain staff. Decentralized decision making can restore autonomy, engagement, and alignment. EHRs are here to stay and many of them were implemented without fixing the processes – the time has come to fix the processes around using an EHR. Unfortunately, staffing shortages will not be resolved overnight – let’s optimize scheduling and provide flexibility as a stabilizing starting point. And let’s improve communication between leaders and all staff: physicians, ancillary providers, nurses, techs, and the plethora of people that are part of providing health care. What are your thoughts on my ideas around improving the work to reduce burnout? What other ideas do you have? If you would like to chat or if I can be of assistance, please let me know.   Understanding & Addressing Trends in Physician & Nurse Burnout 2024 - Arch Report (klasresearch.com)   #physicianburnout #nurseburnout #burnout #WiL #healthcare #healthcareimprovement #processimprovement #quality #qualityimprovement #kindness #engagement #peopledevelopment #coaching #leadership #culture #lean #personaldevelopment #continousimprovement #leancoaching #humanfactors #people #walkwithGrace #GraceBourke #RonaConsultingGroup #RCG  

One of the greatest issues providers face isn't just the stress of the job itself - it's the insurmountable amount of paperwork and the burden of administrative work. According to a 2020 study, physicians spend just 2/3 of their time on direct patient care, with the rest going to EHR and other admin activities. We spend a lot of time talking about healthcare inefficiencies at Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI), and believe providers could reduce this time (and hopefully eliminate some level of burnout) by implementing practices like: - Leveraging new technologies, especially those related to personalized care - Spending less time on prior authorizations - Asking for EHR improvements to simplify processes Check out the full list here: https://lnkd.in/gFJYdDE8 #healthcare #burnoutprevention #dataanalytics
