Whitepaper: Acute Care Has a Technology Problem Hiding in Plain Sight

Hospitals have never had more bedside devices, data streams and algorithms. Yet the gap between technological promise and measurable outcomes remains stubbornly wide. Research shows 21% of nursing care goes undelivered in variable acuity units, and only 5 to 13% of patient alarms actually require clinical action.

The problem is not a lack of technology. It is the absence of an integrated feedback loop that continuously connects data, insight, workflow and measurement.

This report introduces the Acute Care Informatics Outcomes Flywheel – a seven-step operating model designed specifically for variable-acuity inpatient environments where clinician time is scarce, risk is real and the opportunity for improvement is significant. Unlike one-time technology deployments, the Outcomes Flywheel compounds in value with every patient encounter, creating a self-reinforcing engine for better clinical and operational performance.

The report walks through three case studies showing the flywheel in practice, from reducing non-actionable telemetry alarms to improving ICU triage accuracy.

Learnings include:

• Why threshold-based alarms and siloed data fail to prevent patient deterioration,
• How a seven-step outcomes flywheel turns device data into a continuous learning loop,
• Five reinforcing value levers that compound clinical and financial impact over time, and
• A practical, stage-based approach leaders can use to build and scale this capability.

Whitepaper: Healthcare Offshoring – A Practical Guide for Healthcare Finance Leaders

Revenue cycle teams are stretched thin.

Denials are increasing, hiring is more difficult and administrative workloads continue to grow. Many organizations are dedicating substantial time to denial management and rework, limiting their ability to focus on strategic initiatives.

This guide presents a structured approach to building offshore teams that extend capacity without overloading domestic staff.

Rather than handing off work to a vendor, the co-managed model allows organizations to retain control over hiring, training and day-to-day operations – while leveraging offshore infrastructure and talent.

Learnings include:

• How offshore teams can support both front-end and back-end revenue cycle functions,
• Why the co-managed model enables greater control and transparency than traditional outsourcing,
• Key compliance considerations, including HIPAA and data privacy requirements, and
• A step-by-step framework for implementing and scaling offshore teams.

Whitepaper: From Data to Decisions: Rethinking Virtual Care Performance

Hospitals generate vast amounts of clinical and operational data each year, yet only a small portion is actively used to guide care delivery.

At the same time, virtual care programs often rely on disconnected workflows that limit visibility, slow decision-making and constrain scalability.

Today, virtual care platforms are evolving into orchestration layers that integrate EHR, imaging and operational data directly into the consult workflow. This shift enables leaders to improve how work is distributed, how decisions are made and how performance is managed across the enterprise.

In this white paper, explore how data orchestration is reshaping virtual care delivery and supporting more efficient, scalable programs.

Key Insights Include:

• How real-time demand signals can automate and optimize consult assignment,
• Why surfacing relevant patient data within workflows accelerates clinical decision-making, and
• How reducing manual coordination can improve provider utilization and lower operating burden.

Whitepaper: The Hidden Revenue Loss Hospitals Rarely See Until it’s Too Late

Hospitals focus heavily on denials – but denials are only part of the problem.

Across the U.S., hospitals are losing millions each year to incomplete or inconsistent documentation that understates the true complexity of care delivered. Beyond visible denials lies a larger, quieter margin gap: the “Silent Payer Discount stem from the same root cause: breakdowns in the mid-revenue cycle, where clinical insight, coding accuracy and compliance must align before billing.

Drawing on data from hundreds of hospitals, the report outlines how organizations are closing this gap by strengthening documentation accuracy upstream before claims ever reach the payer.

Inside the whitepaper:

• How mid-revenue cycle breakdowns drive both denials and underpayment,
• Where documentation gaps most commonly trigger revenue loss, and
• How clinically governed review models are improving accuracy before billing.
