Case Study: Short Term Acute Care Hospital Reduces Coding Costs with Aquity Solutions

Short Term Acute Care Hospital - Customer Case Study

Short Term Acute Care Hospital, a 200+ bed community-based facility, needed to reduce expenses and bring down the HIM department’s budget. Aquity Solutions helped address this challenge with its Medical Coding Services, specifically an Inhouse to Outsource Coding (I2O) model with domestic and global support.

Aquity Solutions implemented a full coding outsource plan that included ROI analysis, workflow and volume discovery, HR coordination, staff transition planning, training, and deployment of domestic and global coding resources. As a result, the hospital reduced costs, improved coding turnaround time with evening global support, lowered DNFB through higher coder productivity, and even referred its Physician Support Services team to Aquity Solutions for additional outsourcing.
