Clinical Coding for Inpatient and some Outpatient encounters has advanced over the years to become more real-time. Do you want to make sure your hospital’s coding, billing, and reimbursement processes are as streamlined and efficient as possible?

We sat down with Dr. Michael Davis, MD, CMIO of Tufts Medical Center, Patricia Chua, President of INNOVA Revenue Group, and Dr Gerry Petratos, CEO of HITEKS for a session on “Optimizing the Working DRG and Revenue Cycle through Real-time Physician Notifications”.
