Concurrent Coding Solution Improves Quality and Eliminates Backlog

The Challenge

This Academic Trauma Center was facing more than $120 Million of backlog (DNFB).  They were also dealing with low staff retention and subsequent rising training costs due to turnover, quality, and throughput issues within the entire revenue cycle.  It left them with disjointed coding solutions through different vendors that often didn’t meet quality standard.
