Results of a DUOLARK migration of data case study.In the rush to implement EHR and Practice Management applications, there is little time taken to analyze the data before it is imported or entered in the database. This results in ‘dirty data’.
This is still a very common issue.
Udo Fischer, CEO of DUOLARK, explained that over time with no solution Entity leadership has entered into a “learned helplessness’ state. DUOLARK offers a solution to correct the issue and keep the data “clean and healthy.” Fischer states, “Clean and healthy data is useable and actionable data – and that drives both revenue and quality of care.”
The cost of Dirty Data: On average DUOLARK finds, 15% to 40% of the Patient Records have errors.
What happens when these records are shared with other Providers and through Patient Portals?
How many man hours are spent cleaning, updating and reacting to new errors in data records?
What is the impact on submitting to Third Party Payers for reimbursement?
What is the impact on submitting for direct reimbursement?
The value of healthy data.
A fraction of the current manpower employed to maintain an automated solution.
A fraction of the risk of expense in the future with the prediction of less revenue reimbursed.
This affects the delivery of healthcare. It also influences the confidence of the users who find errors in the
Patient Health Records.
Our research on “Health Data” outlines a $1 – $10 – $100 rule. $1 to do it right the first time. $10 to clean it up once it is found. $100 if you are audited and forced to clean it up.
The MED-DETECT product from DUOLARK offers solutions to providers, hospitals, consultants, third party payers, ACO’s, audit firms and others across the continuum of care to clean up data before it is used, exported or imported into a new PM or EHR application on premise or in the cloud.
