Improve efficiency, uncover opportunities

Running a hospital requires a delicate balance of patient care and financial outcomes. Code Focus understands this challenge so we develop fit-for-purpose solutions that offer substantial benefits to both the financial teams and HIS departments of hospitals across Australia.

Boosting financial accuracy

For a hospital’s financial team, accuracy in clinical coding directly impacts revenue cycle management. Code Focus addresses challenges in several ways, including:

  • Providing configurable real-time reports and revenue cycle analytics that help you gain clear financial insights.
  • Improved revenue capture and a running total of your ABF budget vs actual budget.
  • Ensuring all inpatient activities are documented, maximising NWAU and reimbursements

HIS teams 

Code Focus provides benefits for HIS teams at every step of the CDI-coding–auditing-reporting process, including:

  • Identifying missing documentation.
  • Enhancing the coding accuracy of your team with real-time updates as episodes are coded.
  • Targeted auditing by narrowing your audit results with concise audit rules.
  • Reducing coding backlogs by automating routine tasks.
  • A cloud-based program that you can access anywhere, anytime with real-time updates via PAS.
  • Continuous education through the coder-auditor feedback loop.
