Automation on a Broken System

WHITEPAPER Automation on a Broken System – Why It Won’t Solve Your Bottlenecks June 5, 2024 In Brief: Automating broken processes only amplifies inefficiencies. The first step is to fix underlying issues before implementing automation. Effective automation and AI build on a foundation of optimized processes. The Pitfalls of Automating Broken Systems Automation is often seen as a quick fix for business bottlenecks. However, automating a broken process doesn’t solve the underlying issues—it merely speeds up the inefficiencies and errors. Before introducing automation, it’s crucial to address the root causes of any operational challenges. Only by optimizing these processes first can automation deliver the desired improvements in efficiency and productivity. Businesses that rush into automation without this groundwork often find themselves facing the same problems, but at a faster pace. The key to successful automation lies in first refining the systems it’s meant to enhance. “Automation is not a magic wand. Without a solid foundation, it can do more harm than good.” —Isaac Davis, CEO, Emberly This principle also applies to AI. While AI has the potential to revolutionize business operations, it cannot fix a broken system on its own. Just like with automation, AI needs a solid, well-optimized foundation to be effective. Companies that skip the critical step of process optimization will find that both automation and AI merely accelerate their existing issues, rather than resolving them. To truly benefit from these technologies, businesses must first ensure that their systems are functioning efficiently.

The Future of Automation

WHITEPAPER The Future of Automation – Why Hard Automation Will Be Short-Lived Due to AI Agents? August 2, 2024 In Brief: Hard automation relies heavily on rigid, rule-based systems. AI agents offer flexibility, learning, and adaptability in real-time. The shift towards AI-driven solutions is inevitable, making traditional automation obsolete. The shift from hard automation to AI-driven solutions Hard automation, characterized by rigid, rule-based systems, has long been the standard for streamlining operations. However, as businesses face increasingly complex environments, these traditional systems are proving to be inflexible and limited. AI agents, on the other hand, bring a new level of adaptability, learning from data and adjusting in real-time to changing conditions. This transition isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about survival. Companies that cling to outdated automation methods risk being outpaced by competitors who embrace AI-driven solutions. The future of automation lies in intelligent, adaptable systems that can evolve alongside the businesses they serve. “The era of hard automation is coming to an end. AI agents are the future, offering the flexibility and intelligence that today’s business environment demands.” —Isaac Davis, CEO, Emberly As AI agents continue to develop, they will not only replace hard automation but also create new opportunities for businesses to innovate and grow. These systems are designed to learn and improve over time, making them far more effective than their rigid predecessors. Companies that invest in AI now will be better positioned to adapt to market changes, seize new opportunities, and ultimately, stay ahead of the competition.

Transforming Revenue Management

CLIENT: SUNSHINE DOCTORS | LOCATION: DALEVILLE, VIRGINIA | INDUSTRY: FAMILY MEDICINE Transforming Revenue Management 0 % INCREASE IN REVENUE 0 % REDUCTION IN BILLING ERRORS 0 x FASTER PAYMENT PROCESSING TIMES Transforming Revenue Management: How We Help Practices Like Sunshine Doctors Thrive At Emberly, we specialize in helping medical practices optimize their operations and increase revenue through comprehensive digital solutions. A great example of the impact our services can have is seen in the experience of Sunshine Doctors, a small, family-oriented medical practice in Daleville, Va. Client Overview Sunshine Doctors, founded by Dr. Lianna Lawson in 2009, provides primary and urgent care for patients of all ages. Despite the practice’s commitment to high-quality patient care, Dr. Lawson was facing significant challenges with billing and coding. The practice was losing out on substantial revenue due to outdated fee schedules, missed reimbursements, and the burdensome demands of managing billing in-house. To address these challenges, Dr. Lawson turned to enhanced revenue cycle management solutions, which are integral to the services we provide to our clients. These solutions allowed her to regain control over her practice’s financial health while freeing up more time to focus on patient care. Overcoming Billing and Coding Challenges Dr. Lawson realized that her practice was losing approximately $50,000 annually in missed reimbursements, particularly during the pandemic. By upgrading to advanced revenue cycle management services, including enhanced medical coding and claim resolution, she was able to reverse this trend. This is the kind of comprehensive support we offer to practices looking to improve their financial performance while reducing the administrative burden on their staff. With the right tools and services in place, Sunshine Doctors began billing more accurately and comprehensively, leading to significant income improvements. These enhancements are precisely the type of results we strive to achieve for our clients, ensuring they can focus on what matters most—caring for their patients. A Cost-Effective Solution for Practice Growth One of the key benefits Dr. Lawson experienced was the ability to reallocate resources more effectively. Previously, she was paying for a full-time in-house coding specialist, which strained her budget and limited her ability to invest in other areas of her practice. After adopting extended revenue cycle management solutions, she was able to reduce these costs and reinvest in her practice, including hiring a new medical professional. These cost-effective solutions, which we also implement for our clients, enable practices to improve cash flow, increase revenue, and scale their operations without the need for significant additional overhead. As Dr. Lawson noted, with more accurate coding and proper billing, her practice’s financial situation improved dramatically, allowing her to expand and enhance the services offered to her patients. Why Outsourcing Makes Sense Dr. Lawson, who has been a physician since 1998, often advises her colleagues on the benefits of outsourcing medical record-keeping, billing, and coding. Many practices believe they can save money by handling these tasks in-house, but Dr. Lawson’s experience has shown that partnering with comprehensive revenue management services is a more efficient and cost-effective approach. She strongly recommends these services, emphasizing that they not only save time but also improve revenue collection. The transition was seamless, and the results were immediate—a testament to the effectiveness of the solutions we provide to our clients. Streamlining Operations for Better Patient Care At Emberly, we are committed to helping practices like Sunshine Doctors thrive by providing the tools and services needed to streamline operations and boost revenue. By taking the burden of billing and coding off your shoulders, we allow you to focus on what you do best: providing exceptional care to your patients. As Dr. Lawson put it, “Signing up for these services just makes so much sense.” Let us help you achieve the same success and growth with our tailored solutions designed to fit the unique needs of your practice.

Technology Led Process Discovery

Technology-Led Process Discovery Focus: Identifying inefficiencies in private practices and exploring solutions through technology-led discovery. This whitepaper examines how technology can optimize administrative processes, enhance patient interactions, and improve billing procedures. Process Discovery: The Key to Unleashing Your Practice’s Potential In the hustle and bustle of running a private practice, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing things the way they’ve always been done. But the reality is, many of those processes—whether they’re administrative tasks, patient interactions, or billing procedures—are far from perfect. They’re often inefficient, outdated, and prone to errors. But there’s a solution: technology-led process discovery. This isn’t about just keeping up with trends; it’s about ensuring that your practice is equipped to deliver the highest standard of care efficiently and sustainably. The future of private practice lies in embracing technology to automate, streamline, and elevate the way you operate. What is Process Discovery? At its core, process discovery is about understanding how your practice really operates. It’s about digging deep into the day-to-day workflows and uncovering inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement. And with the right technology, this discovery process becomes a powerful tool for transformation. Process discovery involves using data-driven insights to map out every step of your practice’s operations. It’s like taking a high-definition snapshot of how things work, so you can identify what’s holding you back and what needs to change. Comprehensive Mapping: Process discovery tools can track and document every interaction and transaction that occurs within your practice. This includes patient scheduling, billing, communications, and more. Real-Time Analysis: Instead of relying on outdated reports or manual audits, process discovery offers real-time analysis. You see how things are working—or not—right now, allowing for immediate action.   The Role of Technology in Process Discovery Technology isn’t just a tool for automating processes; it’s a tool for understanding them. With advanced process mining technology, you can extract, analyze, and visualize the data flowing through your practice. This data gives you a clear picture of how work gets done—and where it gets stuck. Data Collection: Process mining tools gather data from your existing systems, like EHRs, billing software, and patient management tools. This data is the raw material for understanding your processes. Data Visualization: Once the data is collected, it’s visualized in a way that makes it easy to see patterns, trends, and anomalies. You can see at a glance where processes are smooth and where they’re breaking down. Insights Generation: The real value of process mining lies in the insights it generates. These insights can reveal inefficiencies you didn’t even know existed, as well as opportunities for streamlining and optimization. Uncovering Inefficiencies and Bottlenecks Every practice has its pain points. Whether it’s a backlog in billing, delays in patient scheduling, or miscommunications among staff, these issues can slow down your practice and frustrate both your team and your patients. Process discovery helps you identify these bottlenecks quickly and accurately. Pinpointing Delays: Process mining can show you exactly where delays are occurring, whether it’s in patient intake, lab result processing, or insurance claim submissions. With this information, you can take targeted action to speed up these processes. Identifying Redundancies: Often, inefficiencies are the result of redundant tasks—work that’s being done twice, or by multiple people. Process discovery tools can highlight these redundancies, allowing you to eliminate them and streamline workflows. Highlighting Errors: Errors are costly—not just in terms of money, but in terms of time and patient satisfaction. By analyzing the flow of work through your practice, process discovery can help you identify where errors are most likely to occur, so you can put safeguards in place. Optimizing for Insanely Effective Practices Once you’ve identified the inefficiencies and bottlenecks in your practice, the next step is to optimize. This is where technology truly shines. By leveraging the insights gained from process discovery, you can make informed decisions about how to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve patient care. Automation: Many of the inefficiencies identified through process discovery can be addressed through automation. Whether it’s automating appointment reminders, billing processes, or patient follow-ups, automation reduces the burden on your staff and improves the patient experience. Workflow Redesign: Sometimes, the solution isn’t automation—it’s redesign. By rethinking the way work flows through your practice, you can create processes that are more efficient and effective. This might involve changing the way tasks are assigned, introducing new tools, or simplifying existing procedures. Continuous Improvement: Process discovery isn’t a one-time event; it’s an ongoing process. By continuously monitoring and analyzing your practice’s operations, you can keep making improvements, ensuring that your practice remains agile and effective in a changing healthcare landscape. The Impact of Process Discovery on Patient Care At the end of the day, the goal of any healthcare practice is to provide the best possible care to patients. But that’s only possible if the practice itself is running smoothly. By optimizing your processes, you free up time and resources that can be redirected toward patient care. Improved Access: With more efficient scheduling and patient management processes, patients can access care more easily and more quickly. This improves patient satisfaction and outcomes. Reduced Wait Times: Bottlenecks in processes like lab results or insurance claims can lead to long wait times for patients. By addressing these inefficiencies, you can reduce wait times and improve the overall patient experience. Better Communication: Inefficient processes often lead to miscommunications, both among staff and with patients. By streamlining these processes, you can ensure that everyone is on the same page, leading to better coordination and care. Conclusion: The Future of Private Practice is Data-Driven Technology-led process discovery is more than just a tool—it’s a strategy for creating a practice that’s not just efficient, but effective. By understanding how your practice really works, you can make informed decisions that improve every aspect of your operations. The result? A practice that’s not only more profitable but also better equipped to meet the needs of your patients. In a world where the pace of change is accelerating,
