Getting timely support is critical for patients seeking care in emergency departments (EDs). However, patients are often faced with barriers like long wait times and lack of specialty care. While healthcare organizations do their best to meet demand, they’re overwhelmed by a lack of resources, increased need for specialty care, patient return rates, and high costs. With these barriers at play, a solution is needed.
Thankfully, telepsychiatry can help. Telepsychiatry makes it possible for more people to get the care they need in a hospital setting without the long wait. By utilizing telepsychiatry, organizations can help more people in the community, increase throughput in the ED, and release pressure on their providers and care teams.

Everyone is talking and reading about the challenges associated with clinical denials. We all know something needs to be done about it—but how to best address these challenges is where the fuzziness comes into play.

So, how do you find the root cause of the denial when it comes to subjective decision-making?
This white paper explores:
Why subjective decision-making is the biggest challenge hospitals face in preventing clinical denials on both the provider and payer side,
The seven categories of objective data in subjective decision-making, and
Root cause analysis questions to help identify the causal factors of clinical denials.
