Recent media coverage has put the spotlight on egregious cases in which physicians were negligent in meeting basic care standards, including one health plan medical director who failed to actually review patient medical records when making claims decisions—yet, an internal review process at that health plan found nothing amiss. As these cases make the daily headlines, they illustrate why independent peer review often is a better option than relying on internal peer review processes.

Healthcare organizations have a lot in common. They’re all concerned about getting and keeping patients. They’re all focused on finding new and more effective ways to connect with patients – current and potential. And they’re all worried about whether or not their marketing efforts are having an impact.
What they don’t all have in common is a strong customer relationship management (CRM) system to underpin their efforts. In fact, some don’t have a CRM system at all. CRM systems are nothing new — but their capabilities have changed immensely. More importantly, this white paper makes the case that CRM systems are not an expense, but an investment. An investment in both capturing and keeping patients.
The Cost of Not Having Healthcare CRM provides insight into:
Why healthcare CRM adoption is accelerating
The benefits of CRM for healthcare organizations
The opportunity cost of not having CRM
Patient acquisition and retention opportunities with CRM
Common questions health systems have about CRM

Extracting “value” to achieve bottom line results requires healthcare organizations have systems in place to ensure clinical, operational, and financial data are captured and used to for reporting quality metrics tied to risk-based payments and reimbursement.

Providers must properly manage a critical, yet underutilized data asset— reference data—to ensure a “single source of truth.”

Facing increasing margin pressures—and having already implemented many proven cost reduction and revenue-increasing measures—hospitals and health systems have to find new ways of reducing their costs without compromising quality or patient safety.
By drawing on the expertise of their pharmacy team and the power of clinical surveillance solutions that enhance and extend the power of electronic health records and other hospital technologies, hospitals and health systems can realize significant cost savings. Forward-looking organizations have already documented savings that, depending on the size of the organization, can amount to millions—even tens of millions of dollars annually.
In this new white paper, we explore how pharmacist patient-care oversight across a single site or system can help hospitals assure the right drug is prescribed, to the right patient, at the right time to optimize medication usage and overall spending, while reducing variations in care. Targeted, strategic efforts that leverage the skill sets of pharmacy teams and surveillance technology can maximize those clinical efficiencies critical to continuously improve the health of patients, outcomes and your hospitals’ bottom line.
