Without a modernized, automated process in place, oftentimes errors are caught after they\u2019ve become a potential revenue risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Modio Health has been helping healthcare organizations implement efficient day-to-day operating processes since 2012 and understands firsthand the frustrations and chaos resulting from credentialing the old way. The good news? Implementing a simple, technology-driven credentialing process for your team, like our platform, can save time and money. It\u2019s about having not only the right technology, but also the right team and process in place.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So how can you better position your team to avoid these credentialing pitfalls? Here are key examples of ways Modio\u2019s OneView can help modernize your team\u2019s credentialing processes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Avoid duplications, delays<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Having different departments working with different processes means you\u2019re probably duplicating credentialing work for some providers and entirely missing others. Getting consistent between multiple departments is key. Modio\u2019s platform provides a centralized view within your own organization, helping your team figure out how to consolidate and standardize their process so everyone is working out of the same playbook. Modio\u2019s platform allows for workflow optimization and automated real-time updates and helps teams see where there may be problems within their organization and identify how they can close those gaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">There is more efficiency in having one single standard, which we refer to as a\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/authority-magazine\/the-future-of-healthcare-we-must-end-the-endless-inefficiencies-with-kirk-heath-ceo-of-modio-5b05a27615f0\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Universal Provider Record<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">. Everyone has access to the same data, and it\u2019s all in one place for different roles and responsibilities to utilize. Modio\u2019s platform distributes information to all parties in a timely manner and removes the chance of error and delays that currently plague the system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Creating a safety net<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Credentialing processes, especially in smaller organizations, are often reactive. For example, your practice may receive a letter that a physician has to be re-credentialed within 90 days. This, like many other credentialing processes, is dependent on a third party letting your organization know that something has to get done. Having your own structured system in place that\u2019s proactive with timely alerts can save time and reduce reactive work that pulls resources from other projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Our platform efficiently tracks the credentialing process and also creates a safety net, ensuring any hiccups or challenges are identified early, before it gets to the physician or client.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Don\u2019t wait!

However, the cost of not upgrading and the compliance risk that presents to your organization is far greater than any challenges you may face by implementing our platform. As we\u2019ve seen with our existing customers, replacing costly out-of-date processes with a platform like ours that can verify data automatically can lead to a 60 percent decrease in administrative costs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">With a growing number of payors, telemedicine, and organizational growth in general, the sheer volume of credentialing tasks at most organizations is making manual processes less and less manageable and increasingly risky. Healthcare organizations urgently need more sophisticated tools. It\u2019s time to take that leap; it\u2019s worth the effort. In the end, it will benefit your team and your providers and lead to better care for patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about Modio, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/join.modiohealth.com\/\">https:\/\/join.modiohealth.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Provider credentialing is complex for healthcare organizations.
