Double Whammy: Epic Users Hit Twice as Hard

In the budget-crunched healthcare landscape, hospitals face mounting challenges in delivering quality patient care while protecting the bottom line. One pressing issue is the convergence of the rising cost of staff time and diminished staff resources with increased demand, especially in HIM departments. 

Double Whammy: Epic Users Hit Twice as Hard

The recent increase in California's healthcare workers' minimum wage to $25 per hour is estimated to cost $4 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year alone. With additional states expected to follow, this adds a layer of financial strain for hospitals. Meanwhile, Epic users are seeing more errors in their identity queues than ever – errors that require time-intensive review. 

In the midst of these challenges, Harris Data Integrity Solutions emerges as a game-changer, introducing efficient Epic Identity Queue cleanup and management services to help hospitals navigate these complexities.

Efficiency: Reclaiming Time and Resources

Managing Epic identity queue backlogs is a demanding and time-consuming task for HIM teams. The intricate nature of these processes requires meticulous attention to detail, often diverting focus from more critical tasks and strategic initiatives. Harris Data Integrity Solutions recognizes this challenge and has introduced a streamlined solution to alleviate the burden on HIM staff.

Hospitals must reclaim valuable time and resources that would otherwise be spent navigating identity queue error reviews. Outsourcing efficient backlog resolution allows HIM leaders to redirect their focus toward higher-priority work.

Cost Savings: Mitigating Financial Setbacks

Unresolved identity queue errors significantly threaten a hospital's financial health. These errors can lead to reimbursement denials and costly repeat studies, creating unnecessary financial strain.

The cost savings realized through outsourcing mitigate financial setbacks and create room for strategic investments in areas that truly matter.
