Nuance Expansion into Surgical CAPD Landscape Increases Time Savings and Revenue Integrity for Customers
August 22 2019 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) an industry-leading
provider of AI-powered solutions, today announced it has expanded
into the surgical market with the Nuance Computer-Assisted
Physician Documentation (CAPD) solution. The specialty-specific
solution empowers surgeons and care teams to efficiently document
pre- and post-operatively and code accurately at the point of care,
while empowering organizations to meet the many regulatory and
quality requirements affecting the surgical landscape today.
“Without the proper technology in place to ensure accurate,
timely and complete documentation, it’s challenging for surgeons
and proceduralists to practice at the top of their licenses and
often contributes to risk in the continuum of care, delayed billing
and additional costs for organizations,” said Michael Clark, SVP,
GM, Provider Solutions, Nuance. “The Nuance Surgical CAPD solution
provides the most innovative, compliant and easy-to-use experience
for both patients in the transition of care, and providers on the
broader care team, while ensuring appropriate reimbursement across
acute and ambulatory care settings.”
Using artificial intelligence, the solution streamlines
operative reporting and procedural note documentation in real-time,
improving documentation quality, and rendering clinical guidance
with customizable workflows. The Nuance Surgical CAPD
solution guides surgeons through the documentation process by
providing the relevant, episodic in-workflow guidance needed to
capture the required level of specificity and appropriate
reimbursement in a complex specialty.
Nearly 2,000 surgeons across the United States are already
generating reports with the Nuance Surgical CAPD solution today,
including North Mississippi Ambulatory Surgical Center in Tupelo,
Miss. Prior to implementing the Nuance solution, the organization
was in search of an efficient and economical solution that could
produce more detailed notes and records, while reducing
documentation expenses and decreasing days in accounts receivable
(A/R).
“We were looking to increase surgeon efficiency, convenience and
mobility during documentation and needed to address high
transcription costs and improving A/R across the board,” said
Charlie Tidwell, Medical Records Supervisor, North Mississippi
Ambulatory Surgical Center. “Within a year of adopting Nuance’s
Surgical CAPD solution, we were able to reduce documentation
expenses by more than $40,000 and reduced A/R by an average of
eight days.”
