Challenge

Patients are referred for in-hospital or in-home hospice services by their attending physician, requiring that care start immediately. However, onboarding patients for in-hospital care requires detailed coordination across many facilities and hospice functions and systems (i.e.,  time tracking, charting, billing, CPT coding and claims). The manual approach took too long and was at risk to data-entry errors. Hospice leadership wanted a faster and more reliable way to onboard new in-hospital patients that also built confidence among referring physicians.

Solution

Automation enables immediate action on referral. Using simplified data-entry screen, intake team and referring physician work together to load the patient’s medical data into the system (e.g., diagnoses, demographics, insurance coverage, circumstances). Using rules and workflows, automation (1) identifies follow-up admission tasks and required face-to-face visits, (2) assigns the direct care service team by location, (3) prepares electronic medical record and (4) provides draft clinical notes to care team for review and submission.
