In radiology, stack mode viewing of radiological images is very popular. This popularity may be because the technique exploits the visual system’s sensitivity to motion.

Recent changes to the U.S. healthcare system have brought about a variety of new challenges for providers and patients alike. Numerous elements of the healthcare reform, such as the adoption of time-consuming regular revisions to billing laws and regulations, may result in revenue losses for providers across the country.

EMSOW always strives for better and easier work. With this week’s update, the Billing module features a new search option, which you can check out below. Also, we’ve added a couple of new useful features to the Data Import module, the Physician Portal and the Technologist Portal.

What can healthcare organizations do to reduce billing compliance risks in 2022?
Educate. Make sure providers and coders stay informed as billing rules and regulations change.
Predict. Expand “revenue intelligence” and predictive analytics tools to proactively catch billing errors and avoid first-pass denial rates.
Monitor. Meaningful audits and analysis go beyond error detection with true insights into the causes of errors and the tools to correct them.
Manage. It’s not enough to audit if no changes are made. Implement corrective action and follow-up.

Invoices are an important document for any business. Sellers need to issue invoices to customers regularly in order to get paid in time and maintain the cash flow of the business.

Most healthcare providers have issues with duplicated health records. They cause excessive time and effort because a lot of information has to be entered twice. But the real problem is that duplicated records are not always the exact copies of each other. Instead, information about one patient is kept in several separate documents. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, duplicates have been leading to poor patient identification – hampering the response rate and patient outcomes. Another pitfall is associated with HIPAA compliance since duplicated records increase the chance of ePHI loss.
AHIMA has stated that 20% of the medical records in healthcare systems with multiple facilities are duplicates, and they can cost up to $40 million for any healthcare provider. What's more, while 72% said they work on mitigating duplicate records on a weekly basis, the researchers noted that there...
