Case Study: Short Term Acute Care Hospital achieves coding cost savings with Aquity Solutions

Short Term Acute Care Hospital - Customer Case Study

Short Term Acute Care Hospital, a 215-bed community-based facility, was under budget pressure and needed to reduce HIM coding costs without sacrificing quality or KPI performance. AQuity Solutions provided Medical Coding Services to help the hospital evaluate whether outsourcing could meet its operational and financial goals.

AQuity Solutions implemented a full coding function outsourcing transition with a domestic and global staffing model, including ROI analysis, workflow and HR discovery, staff employment offers, training, and ongoing staffing coordination. The result was lower total costs, faster coding turnaround time, reduced DNFB through higher coder productivity, and additional savings opportunities through referral of Physician Support Services coding work, while also onboarding client staff who accepted AQuity employment offers.
