Any processes involving business data collected before a claim is submitted are especially valuable for today’s healthcare organizations. Inaccurate data is not an asset but instead is just “dirty” data that can lead to more problems than it solves.

If you suspect dirty data is causing problems, you’re not alone. For your hospital to achieve optimal efficiency, reimbursement and compliance it is vital to understand that:

• Data validation is key to your hospital not just surviving, but thriving
• It is possible to meet the challenges of healthcare charge validation
• Automation tools are vital to meeting those challenges
• Accurate data is essential to successfully managing audits and optimizing reimbursement
