Who would have imagined that removing paper from the workplace would be more challenging than putting men on the moon? But that has been the unfortunate reality in healthcare financial processes, which have long been mired in labor and paper-intensive process. Not anymore. Medical Records departments and Business Offices at hospitals, which came under scrutiny for their heavy reliance on people and paper, are making great strides in automating their operations by leveraging a variety of technology solutions available in the market today.
Dave Tourville, Research analyst at PayStream Advisors, states that “current adoption of automation is on the rise in small and large facilities alike. We are very excited to see many mid-sized and smaller facilities rapidly moving towards less paper, even paperless environments. These aggressive technology adopters have learned that in many cases automation streamlines the revenue cycle from months to weeks and delivers a rapid return on investment.” He went on to say that, “Savings and efficiency-gains are really across the board. The average hospital of 200 beds will save between $150,000 and $300,000 a year by eliminating paper in the business office alone”
