A new healthcare study from ASG Software Solutions revealed that 82 Percent of healthcare organizations are expanding case management services.

The study finds that the increase in case management activity is attributed to the increasing complexity of case processes, quality demands and regulatory compliance.

“Case managers are better equipped to combat what survey respondents identified as the top threats to organizational profitability and downstream care quality, including:

• Patients staying beyond discharge: 70 percent of respondents said that 11 or more patients stay beyond planned reimbursement
• Recidivism: as many as one in 10 patients snap back into the same conditions that healthcare services were intended to alleviate
• Unnecessary procedures: 45 percent of respondents estimated the monthly value of paid procedures later deemed unnecessary to be between $25,001-$50,000
• Penalties: failure to meet clinical and/or IT norms can also take a hefty bite out net profit — between six to 10 percent for 43 percent BeyeNETWORK survey respondents.”
