Workflow (Patient Flow) Assessment
| ExpressAssessment Workflow (Patient Flow) Assessment |

| By improving time management, you improve scheduling efficiency. You can increase operating room utilization, reduce paperwork, and reduce staff stress. Notes can be made to the daily schedule in real-time. When a procedure requires special equipment, a note to the daily schedule eliminates the need to go back and verify later. Convenience and time saving are the benefits of effective scheduling. | |

 |
| Verifying that clinical information is entered and maintained properly indicates that the Center is positioned to track expenses associated with procedures accurately. Case costing allows the Center to manage and contain expenditures. Entry of information about times, staff, and supplies is an integral part of what distinguishes well managed Centers from the pack. | |

| ExpressAssessment Financial Assessment |
 |
| Top Surgery Centers manage funds, cash flow and billing effectively. By submitting claims correctly the first time, payment cycles are accelerated and the effort required to re-bill is minimized. Keeping financial records clean ensures that receivables are visible, invoices are sent in a timely and regular manner, claims are submitted rapidly, and payments are received with minimal delay. Verifying that financial information is set up properly and practices surrounding claims submission, billing, and financial reporting are effective is one of the major benefits of the ExpressAssessment. | |

| Improving inventory management in clinical areas provides new opportunities for cost reduction, cost avoidance, increased utilization and revenue maximization. By recording supply usage based on each patient case and by interfacing directly with the billing system, Centers are enabled to consistently, effectively and accurately charge for product usage. By optimizing workflow efficiency, perpetual inventory management increases clinical staff productivity, decreases inventory carrying costs, reduces inventory sitting idly on shelves, and diminishes the need for expensive stock-out caused urgent ordering. | |

| ExpressAssessment Reports for Assessment |
 |
| Your software's reports are indicators of the way the facility utilizes its software. However, reports are only as useful as the information entered into the system. Effective reporting can assist in identifying where issues occur long before they become major complications. Additionally, reports provide accurate information that can be used to assess how a center is performing on a global level. | |
