The People’s Choice HospitalTM group recently announced a nationwide expansion of their healthcare information technology (HIT) consulting services. The goal of such an expansion is to provide hospital clients with time-sensitive Meaningful Use and EHR Certification guidance.
As reimbursement deadlines (and related penalty phases) count down, many hospitals have implemented an ONC Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR), but are facing workflow and system optimization challenges in meeting Meaningful Use compliance. It is within this complex landscape of clinical documentation, software configuration, and integration to ancillary clinical systems that PCH has identified consulting services needs.
The practicing physicians and HIT experts who lead the consulting division undertake involved gap analysis and workflow assessment studies in order to craft solutions for an individual hospital’s needs. While the goal of Meaningful Use compliance and CMS Stimulus payment revenue is common to most U.S. hospitals, the unique identity of each facility requires personalized analysis. Solutions to common problems range from advanced training for physicians and medical staff, custom workflow development, complex EHR data mining, internal audit strategies, protected health information (PHI) compliance tools, reimbursement defense, and Account Care Organization (ACO) development.
People’s Choice Hospital is a boutique company that specializes in managing the unique environment of a hospital with its complicated communication and documentation systems. PCH is led by practicing physicians and hospital administrators with expertise in financially distressed facilities. People’s Choice Hospital understands the daily challenges of operating a high volume, under-funded medical center in a large urban community. Our goal is to restore struggling hospitals to a position of strength in their communities by leveraging superior technology, communications, and business acumen.
