TriHealth Selects Cincom’s Intelligent Guided Registration Solution to Reduce Denial Rates and Claim

CINCINNATI, OH –– Cincom Systems announces that TriHealth Inc., on behalf of Bethesda Hospital, Inc. and Good Samaritan Hospital of Cincinnati has selected Cincom’s Intelligent Guided Registration (IGR) solution to streamline its registration processes, decrease errors and reduce insurance eligibility claim denial rates.

Using Cincom’s IGR Solution, TriHealth will equip the registration staff with access to real-time decision support and guide the selection of insurance "mnemonics" or codes. Cincom’s solution will also assist collection of other information such as Medicare Secondary Payer questions. The improved registration process will reduce registration data errors, claim payment delays and denial rework efforts. In addition, it will improve registrar compliance, training and employee satisfaction, thus impacting turnover rates that directly affect efficiency.

Yvonne Focke, RN, BSN, MBA and Director of Access and Care Management for TriHealth, comments, "Cincom has demonstrated that they understand our specific problems as we attempt to capture and enter accurate information. They can deliver an innovative solution that adds specific value with no need to interfere with our existing systems."

She further adds, "The constant change of our complex registration and payer environment requires healthcare providers to ask their registration staffs to understand and remember a myriad of business details not covered by the Health Information System (HIS) or registration system. The Cincom IGR solution will capture and personalize all of these business rules and special-case details into a solution that guides registrars to ask all of the right questions at the right time.

"Our registrars at TriHealth cannot remember every special variation that they encounter in a given day. The Cincom IGR solution prompts and assists with compliance and tracks all of the business rules, changes and details. Every Director of Patient Access or Registration will welcome this solution as a valuable addition to their existing systems."

Cincom’s IGR Solution helps Healthcare Providers prevent errors at the front end of the registration process to avoid denials and reduce rework. It enhances the existing registration systems by empowering the registrars with the ability to gather and process the correct patient and insurance information without depending upon memory, thus avoiding mistakes that result in costly rework, denials or delays in payment.
