Saint Luke's Health System faced a common challenge--how to simultaneously support and optimize its new EMR system without adding headcount or increasing costs. HCTec developed a strategy to do so while saving the hospital $20 million.
The shift to high deductible health plans (HDHPs) has transformed an already complex payer reimbursement burden onto the shoulders of consumers who are unprepared to bear it. Consumers, on the one hand, need increased support to understand their bills and figure out how to pay them.
