Una nueva herramienta de IA ayuda a los hospitales rurales a mejorar los ingresos financieros

Por: Erin Burchfield, líder global, crecimiento estratégico, Microsoft Elevate.

Los hospitales rurales brindan servicios de atención médica vitales a comunidades aisladas en los Estados Unidos; para muchas personas, literal, son un salvavidas. Pero estas instituciones enfrentan desafíos importantes, desde escasez de mano de obra hasta dificultades financieras, que amenazan su capacidad para continuar con la atención para sus comunidades.

Un estudio reciente señaló que más de 700 hospitales rurales en los Estados Unidos están en la actualidad en riesgo de cierre debido a dificultades financieras.¹

En respuesta a esta creciente crisis, el Programa de Resiliencia de Salud Rural de Microsoft empodera a estas organizaciones esenciales con tecnología y capacitación para que sean más resilientes y aumenten la viabilidad financiera. Esta iniciativa es parte de nuestro Microsoft Elevate, que se centra en proporcionar acceso a herramientas y habilidades de IA para crear oportunidades en varios sectores, incluida la atención médica.

Estamos orgullosos de anunciar que el navegador de denegación de reclamaciones está disponible ahora en el catálogo de GitHub Models, una herramienta gratuita con tecnología de IA desarrollada por socios de Microsoft y líderes de salud rural, de nuestro Laboratorio de innovación de IA de salud rural (RHAIL, por sus siglas en inglés) de Microsoft.

Esta herramienta brinda a los hospitales una forma poderosa de manejar las reclamaciones denegadas de manera más eficiente y recibir el reembolso adecuado por sus servicios. Está disponible ahora en GitHub para cualquier proveedor de atención médica, desde pequeñas clínicas rurales hasta grandes sistemas de salud urbanos.

Mejorar los resultados financieros con una resolución de reclamaciones denegadas más sencilla

Uno de los mayores obstáculos financieros para los hospitales implica la denegación de reclamos de seguros, y para los hospitales pequeños, las consecuencias son en particular graves. Si bien muchas reclamaciones denegadas al final se aprueban, el costo promedio de administrar las reclamaciones denegadas para un hospital pequeño se estima en USD330,000 al año, y el proceso de resolverlas consume tiempo y recursos valiosos, ralentiza el flujo de efectivo e infla los costos administrativos. Además, el análisis estadístico muestra que los hospitales rurales tienen una tasa de denegación del 18%, mucho más alta que la tasa del 10% de los hospitales urbanos.²

Hoy, la disponibilidad del navegador de denegación de reclamos cambia este panorama.

¿Qué es el navegador de denegación de reclamos?

El navegador de denegación de reclamos agiliza los procesos de resolución de reclamos denegados de Medicare, Medicaid y seguros comerciales. Ofrece recomendaciones sobre las acciones más efectivas que el personal de facturación puede tomar para resolver reclamos denegados y aprende de sus acciones y comentarios para mejorar sus recomendaciones con el tiempo. Esta herramienta gratuita es segura (no sale ningún dato de la organización) y fácil de implementar, lo que facilita que los hospitales obtengan beneficios significativos, que incluyen:

• Flujo de ingresos más rápido: menos tiempo y esfuerzo dedicado a la investigación y resolución de reclamos denegados.
• Mejora de la competencia del personal: acelera la incorporación de nuevo personal de facturación y la capacitación continua.
• Mejores resultados financieros: Más reclamos resueltos a un costo menor.

«De manera reciente, Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center hizo la transición [a un nuevo] sistema de registro de salud electrónico. Como parte de este proceso, priorizamos un resumen acelerado de nuestro sistema heredado. Nuestro equipo de ciclo de ingresos aprovechó la aplicación de gestión de denegación para respaldar este esfuerzo, lo que redujo el cronograma de resumen heredado en varios meses. La participación en el programa RHAIL también demostró el valor de desarrollar aplicaciones específicas de bajo costo en áreas operativas clave como el ciclo de ingresos».

—Scott McEachern, director de información de Southern Coos en Bandon, Oregón

«Después de décadas de trabajar para mejorar el acceso y la equidad de la atención médica, he visto cómo las presiones financieras sistémicas amenazan la supervivencia de los hospitales rurales. El navegador de denegación de reclamos representa un paso crítico hacia adelante: una herramienta impulsada por IA que permite a los proveedores rurales recuperar ingresos de manera más eficiente, fortalecer su base financiera y continuar con la atención esencial a sus comunidades».

—Dr. Jim Weinstein, vicepresidente senior de Microsoft Health—Innovación y ex director del Instituto Dartmouth y director ejecutivo de Dartmouth Health

Nos hemos asociado con la Oficina de Clínicas y Hospitales Rurales de Texas («TORCH», por sus siglas en inglés), que apoyará a sus miembros en la implementación y medición del éxito del navegador de denegación de reclamos. La Asociación de Hospitales del Estado de Washington se asegura de que sus miembros conozcan y tengan acceso al recurso y brindará oportunidades para que los miembros compartan experiencias con la herramienta. Slalom, nuestro socio consultor de diseño y desarrollo, también apoyará una amplia adopción a través de su equipo de Impacto Público y Social.

Mirar hacia el futuro     

El navegador de denegación de reclamaciones es solo el comienzo. RHAIL ya trabaja en futuras colaboraciones para desarrollar resiliencia, aumentar la viabilidad financiera y brindar acceso equitativo a atención médica de alta calidad para todas las comunidades.

En Microsoft, entendemos la importancia de la salud rural en las comunidades de todo Estados Unidos. A través de nuestro programa de Resiliencia de Salud Rural, estamos comprometidos a ayudarlos a prosperar.

Empoderen a su organización a través de herramientas de innovación y ciberseguridad de IA mientras exploran todas las ofertas de nuestro programa de Resiliencia de Salud Rural para organizaciones de salud rural.

Amazon Redshift auto-copy is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), and Asia Pacific (Taipei) regions. With Auto-Copy, you can set up continuous file ingestion from your Amazon S3 prefix and automatically load new files to tables in your Amazon Redshift data warehouse without the need for additional tools or custom solutions.

Previously, Amazon Redshift customers had to build their data pipelines using COPY commands to automate continuous loading of data from S3 to Amazon Redshift tables. With auto-copy, you can now setup an integration which will automatically detect and load new files in a specified S3 prefix to Redshift tables. The auto-copy jobs keep track of previously loaded files and exclude them from the ingestion process. You can monitor auto-copy jobs using system tables.

To learn more, see the documentation or check out the AWS Blog.
