Revenue Cycle Management

The Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) process plays a vital role in the financial performance of a medical organization and the payment turnaround time is a critical factor to the organization’s success. To increase the speed of payments, it is essential to mitigate some of the time-consuming, manual steps in the RCM process. A properly operating RCM process has minimal manual steps and realizes revenue and billing faster. Smart Data Solutions can aid in saving your team crucial time and resources in this process.

Smart Data Solutions converts an average of 800,000 documents to EDI per week.

Benefits of Machine Learning Integration

The intake of correspondence is a complex process that can benefit from machine learning integration. With automation, we can sort and categorize many different document types and place those documents into specific workflow queues for end users. Along with higher consistency and the ability to reduce staffing and ease production management challenges, some of the main benefits of automating this process include:

  • Documents are indexed and matched to ensure they are easily searchable
  • There are multiple configuration options available to fit you and your business’s specific needs
  • Workflow queues track aging statistics and help prioritize documents in real-time
  • Document history view shows user actions and our high-level reporting tracks employee productivity
  • Ability to create standardized ANSI x12 transactions from standard and non-standard forms
