Case Study: Center for Urologic Surgery achieves faster case profitability analysis with HST Pathways

The Center for Urologic Surgery uses HST Profit Forecast to understand their profits & negotiate better payer contracts

The Center for Urologic Surgery, a surgery center in Missouri, faced significant challenges in analyzing case profitability. Their manual, spreadsheet-based process was time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to inaccuracies, which hampered decision-making and led to potential lost opportunities. To overcome this, they turned to HST Pathways and implemented its case cost forecasting solution.

HST Pathways' solution automated and streamlined the center's financial analysis, providing real-time profitability data for each case. This empowered front-line staff to make immediate decisions, reducing the time to analyze a case from hours to seconds. The results included a major reduction in surgery cancellations by identifying unprofitable cases early and provided the data needed for more effective contract negotiations with payers. The center's billing manager stated the tool's cost would be recouped within a week.
