Two years later, hospitals, clinics, and urgent care facilities continue to recover from devastating financial losses created by the COVID-19 public health crisis that began in 2020.  For hospital administrators, it must feel like a losing battle that allows only one step forward while guaranteeing four steps back.  Still, they manage to provide top levels of care for their communities. There is much less income than there was three years ago, yet people still need surgeries, hospital beds, and diagnostic testing.

So, what’s the answer? How can these essential providers of medical care re-establish pre-pandemic levels of income flow? The solution is innovative healthcare management software that runs quietly in the background to reduce claim denials, manage appeals, and enforce collections, all with minimal input from overworked staff.

Why Income Losses for the Healthcare Industry Have Reached Historic Highs

According to the American Hospital Association, 2020 was the deadliest year in America’s history. Roughly 530,000 deaths resulted that year from COVID-related illnesses, causing the U.S. death rate to spike a whopping 15 percent. Financially, the impact was almost as devastating on hospitals and care providers throughout the nation. A forced lockdown caused record numbers of businesses to close, leaving millions of people without employer-sponsored healthcare insurance. Yet the overwhelming need for costly and specific medical supplies such as ventilators and personal protective equipment, as well as medications, drove costs skyward. Record numbers of patients came through emergency departments and remained in the hospital for longer periods of time but without the previous capacity to pay. At the same time, supply-chain interruptions forced hospitals to seek equipment and supplies through independent channels, which also resulted in higher costs.

Healthcare facilities across the country are still reeling two years later and costs continue to rise with little relief in sight. To continue providing excellent levels of care to communities around the nation, hospitals and other healthcare facilities need help, and the sooner the better. This is where creative healthcare management software can step in to lighten the load.

How the Right Healthcare Management Software Can Increase Income Flow

Creative healthcare management software is capable of increasing revenue while reducing workload for employees. It’s a perfect solution for getting your hospital or clinic back on track and bringing in enough money to cover costs and pay staff, and the premise behind it is surprisingly simple. By automating non-clinical processes that typically require human input, the software can lighten the workload of your employees. At the same time, it promotes cash flow. Here’s how the right software program can help your facility overcome and recover from financial challenges in healthcare in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis:

• By expediting reimbursement from Medicaid and Medicare
• By reducing claim denials
• By increasing point-of-service collections
• By giving more non-clinical personnel the tools to work remotely from home

Each of these benefits combine to bring in owed income more quickly, while resulting in fewer overhead costs and added protection for non-clinical personnel. It’s a win for you, for your patients, and for your staff.
