Automated charge capture at the point of care increases revenue.

Group practices can reduce lost charges, denied claims, and time-to-billing rates by using automated charge capture at the point of service. One orthopedic department had been experiencing many process-related problems associated with physician charge capture. To improve revenues, the physicians began using hand-held devices to input data during patients' office visits. A 12-month analysis of charge data from the orthopedic physicians' outpatient visits using a paper-based charge process showed that 824 outpatient charges had been missed or lost, representing 6 percent of the department's annual outpatient activity and more than $54,000 in projected additional revenue. Another analysis conducted after the automated charge-capture process at the point of care was implemented showed that the orthopedic department had not missed any charges.

Mobile computing acceptance grows as applications evolve.

Handheld devices are becoming more cost-effective to own, and their use in healthcare environments is increasing. Handheld devices currently are being used for e-prescribing, charge capture, and accessing daily schedules and reference tools. Future applications may include education on medications, dictation, order entry, and test-results reporting. Selecting the right handheld device requires careful analysis of current and future applications, as well as vendor expertise. It is important to recognize the technology will continue to evolve over the next three years.
