When it comes to overcoming today’s biggest healthcare challenges, the right technology can make all the difference. That’s why the top 25 U.S. provider systems1 rely on the Inovalon for innovative tools to simplify complicated operations across the patient care journey.
Inovalon’s software solutions help providers save time and maximize resources by reducing administrative hassle. Billing and claims management staff, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals harness the power of Inovalon data to improve healthcare outcomes and economics.
What are Inovalon’s provider solutions?
Simply put, a collection of software solutions available in one single-sign-on, easy-to-use portal. Authorized healthcare providers across various markets – including acute, post-acute, and ambulatory – access the primary source data and advanced analytics that power 24 of the top 25 U.S. healthcare provider systems.
With data from more than 360,000 providers, Inovalon offers extensive connectivity to electronic health records and health information exchanges. Plus the deep subject matter expertise to apply data to complex projects in partnership with industry experts.
Healthcare professionals rely on Inovalon’s solutions to optimize outcomes in three key areas:
Revenue cycle management
Industry-leading RCM solutions enable front- and back-office staff to streamline revenue cycle management processes for improved cashflow and better overall financial performance. Inovalon software helps automate and streamline revenue capture by maximizing payer reimbursement and patient collection.
An Oklahoma billing company, for example, needed more than just a new clearinghouse; it sought better performance across all RCM functions. By using Inovalon’s claims management solution, the organization improved its clean claims rate from 92% to 98.5%, thus reducing denials and speeding reimbursement.
Christy Ragsdae, Quality Assurance Director for 360 Medical Billing Solutions, lauded the improved workflow, organization-wide cost savings, and Inovalon’s exemplary customer service.
“Our partnership with [Inovalon] has changed us as a company,” she said. “It’s made a big difference for our clients and our workflow; it’s just a better place to work now.”
From patient registration and intake through claims management and patient payment, Inovalon’s end-to-end tools proactively reduce errors and boost efficiency.
The patient payment functionality helped a large pediatric care group transform its patient payment capture with software that features card-on-file capabilities. Pediatric Health Care Alliance, based in Florida, streamlined patient payments and improved employee morale using the unique software solution.
Enhanced revenue cycle results are equally impressive for other providers, including a healthcare collections agency that increased its collections by 10% using Insurance Discovery.
Care quality management
Inovalon’s care quality management solutions help providers maximize reimbursement and improve quality measures by utilizing predictive MDS (Minimum Data Set) analytics to maximize financial and clinical outcomes. With additional efficiency and accuracy, providers get greater insight into financial returns, quality metrics, and regulatory compliance as well as survey preparation.
Driving successful patient outcomes and managing reimbursements are complex challenges requiring advanced data analysis and documentation. The insight was particularly valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic, when skilled nursing operators such as Lutheran Homes of South Carolina relied on Inovalon infection surveillance software to monitor data across multiple facilities using one dashboard. The organization was able to protect residents and quickly implement infection control plans when needed.
With care quality management solutions, providers can assess and manage facility-specific and organization-wide risk relating to infection control, MDS validation, and quality metrics. As a result, increased efficiency and accuracy can optimize CMS reimbursement and improve Star Rating performance, which consumers reference when selecting a facility.
Workforce management
Our suite of workforce management solutions help providers achieve equity in staff scheduling to strengthen engagement, retention, and satisfaction. Software solutions in this category help optimize staff scheduling to prevent burnout and turnover – delivering both financial benefit and improving the patient experience.
Easy-to-use functionality and collaborative input helped support the Texas ER facility that used the technology to improve staff engagement and save money.
“The mobile app has made it drastically easier to get staff scheduled. I can send out notifications about available shifts right in the app, and it is really simple for staff to pick up open shifts,” explained Taylor Slagle, Clinical Director at Quality Care ER.
These workforce management solutions track and optimize staffing requirements and reporting to streamline the efficiencies of a provider’s most valuable resource, resulting in less stress and better communication.
