Sutherland Healthcare Reduces Costs and Increases Efficiency for Patient Financial Communications
THE CHALLENGE
The frustration was building at Sutherland Healthcare Solutions: It faced a time-consuming and costly process for developing and issuing patient statements and communications, especially for new client accounts, in large part due to a print vendor unwilling to change its ways. So this leader in healthcare business process and technology solutions called in its Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Innovations team to identify and implement a better way. The goal: Find a fast, flexible, and efficient communications process and technology to deliver an optimal patient financial experience for its hospital and physician group clients.
THE SOLUTION
The RCM Innovations team found Nordis Technologies, which shares Sutherland’s expertise in delivering technology-enabled services. The two teamed up to reinvent how Sutherland manages critical patient communications. Nordis’ cloud-based Expresso® communications management software makes it easy for Sutherland to create and modify custom patient documents for each provider client.
“Our job is to bring innovative solutions to the healthcare RCM group to drive down costs, improve operations, and engage patients. That’s exactly what Nordis is doing,” said Jaison Harada, AVP of Sutherland Healthcare’s Revenue Cycle Management Innovations team. “Just one example is the ease of implementing new clients with Nordis: It’s like night and day.”
Sutherland also takes advantage of Nordis’ print and mail services for a complete turnkey solution, eliminating the complexities of managing multiple vendors and simplifying the production process. Expresso® sends output files directly to Nordis’ state-of-the-art, fully redundant production facilities.
