The health care system is going through a volume-to-value transformation with the goal of controlling cost and improving patient outcomes. Same Day Care providers are leading the charge by reducing barriers to care and delivering better outcomes at lower cost. Demand for Same Day Care is at an all-time high, but exponential growth has resulted in decreased payer reimbursements, stricter industry regulations, and increased competition.
If you’re an Ambulatory Surgical Center, Federally Qualified Health Center, Urgent Care Clinic, or a Retail Health Clinic, you must ensure that your patients receive competent care at qualified facilities from capable caregivers. But, privileging and credentialing providers and facilities is a time-consuming job that can easily get lost in the shuffle. The key to be sure it all gets done is: AUTOMATION.
