Have you met Margie® yet? Margie® helps physician practices increase profitability by engaging your patients, increasing the conversion of referrals and recalls to appointments and managing communications. She recently delivered a 15% increase in the referral conversion rate and a 210% increase in recall conversions!

Physician practices build their business through new patient referrals and follow up visits for existing patients. Consequently, you would think that they have a very clear answer to the following questions:

• Out of every 100 new patient referrals last month, how many turned into appointments?
• When a patient’s 3-year recall or follow up is due, what % of the patients schedule that visit?


And yet, when we asked several physician practices to answer these questions, barely a quarter of them were able to give an answer and those who did, said it was a good faith estimate without tools to measure the metrics.

Here is why these metrics are important…if just 10 more out of every 100 referrals became appointments, your practice may stand to make an estimated $3100 in profit. Many physician practices today convert less than 38% of their referrals and less than 20% of their recalls into appointments. Seems shockingly low? Check your own practice and let us know what you find – if you have the tools to find it quickly!

Margie® helps physician practices increase profitability by engaging your patients, increasing the conversion of referrals and recalls to appointments and managing communications – whether it is a branded text, email or phone call to deliver greater patient volume and satisfaction to you.

It is not enough if you book a healthy % of your referrals. You want those bookings to be made promptly as well. A certain practice took 35 days from the date of eligibility to the date the appointment was scheduled. And the patient had to wait another 20 days to see the provider. Think about that – the patient saw the provider 60 days after the referral. What is the average lag for you? Do you know how you compare with the industry?

There are more questions than answers and more guesses than data today.

Enter Margie®

Margie increases your referral and recall conversion rate. We offer detailed metrics so you can measure and plan staffing, and we manage the communication to help you improve profitability. Whether it is communications in 16 languages, managing care protocols, or offering appointments automatically, Margie reduces the time it takes for your referrals and recalls to convert into appointments. She also manages refills, enables you to communicate securely via text with your patients, and help you increase patient satisfaction and your practice profitability.

Margie builds your brand, creates highly interactive experiences for your patients, and moves your patients from the phone to digital mediums and your portal.

Margie does not replace your portal – she does compete decisively with the ringing phone in your front office – and I think you would love her for doing that.

EKGs are done hundreds, if not thousands of times, at any major facility. The clinician is assigned reading days where they may churn through 10 of them a minute to look for insights. The clinical notes are then entered into the electronic system (e.g., MUSE®, P-Scribe®, etc.), and the physician is done with that workflow. The central coding team picks this up and reads thousands of these, one at a time; diagnoses are entered, modifiers added as needed, the charge validated and then released for professional fee billing.

All of this sounds wonderful until we come to the realization that the remuneration for the professional fee per EKG varies from $4 to $17! The amount of work involved in coding is so high that the operation barely breaks even. Many systems outsource it, and the outsourced entity charges $3 per read, making the whole exercise pointless again.

EKG Interpretation Example:

Pro fee entered manually by coder in electronic health record:

What is the problem with this picture? In a declining reimbursement world, the need to eliminate unnecessary and less-profitable operations is key. Let us see how technology can help.

Enter Cassidi®

Cassidi stands for Computer-assisted Document Interpretation. She is an intelligent agent who can read tens of thousands of EKGs a minute, automatically generate the CPT and the relevant diagnoses, have you review/spot-check and approve the methodology, and then set her free.

Cassidi is priced per provider per month independent of the number of EKGs so you can deploy her systemwide without having to think too hard.

Her EKG reads have been tested in the market, gone through CMS and stood the test of time. She knows how to work when there are procedures on the same day, add modifiers, etc.

Cassidi has potential in other areas of coding as well. The first and simplest step is EKGs. We promise that from the moment the EKG document results are available, Cassidi will be up and running in no more than 48 hours. That is how confident we are in delivering value to you.

Where is the "Simple" button for healthcare?
By: Badri Narasimhan

A rudimentary healthcare delivery workflow goes something like this…

• Patient has a medical need
• The patient or their caregiver reaches out
• Patient gets the care
• Care is documented
• Follow up is scheduled

That sounds fantastic. We only hope it is that simple. The reality of the matter is that significant investments have been made by health systems in the last mile of the care, the documentation of the care, etc. With the advent if risk-based health, a lot of good work has been done in follow-ups as well. One would argue telemedicine has solved any and all patient access issues – until we take a step back and peer into the front offices of health systems and practices.

To call the front desk phone lines a mess would be being kind. A practice gets about 60-100 phone calls per provider per day!!! Let us try and digest that. The provider sees 10 patients a day. Each appointment downstream generates 3+ calls back. Each new patient has several calls and other health entities have reasons to call. With billions if not trillions spent on technology, why is the good old phone still the primary mode of communication for the patient?

You say patient portals are magical and took all patient needs into account and resolved them. Statistics are far from it. The average practice has 7% adoption of patient portals. 93 out of 100 patients do not find that to be the simple solution it is made out to be. Make no mistake – I myself am a patient portal user. I remember to not reuse my last 5 passwords, I have to save the user name, download the app, leave a message and have no clue of whether or when my call will be returned. And…if 2 days go by with silence, guess what, I call the practice and ask if they read my portal message upon which time, they admit they had but it is buried in a bunch of other work items.

Patients need a “simple” button. I would have said they need the Easy button, but I am not a glutton for trademark violations! That button is taken! The “simple” button should relieve the patient of the undue burden to access care. It should keep them abreast of the status of their request, it should proactively work with them to avoid the call, it should give them a better experience. Technologically challenged people will never use such “simple” buttons you say? Drive by a bank branch and see what purposes force someone to stand in line to talk to the teller and whether people of all ages drive by the ATM to get the job done. I would argue that the technologically challenged crowd (old or young) need a simple way to get their work done. If they trusted a machine to dish out money and keep their life’s savings safely, as long as it is simpler than standing in line and showing their ID and talking to a human…they will trust their phones to reach their provider. We owe it to ourselves to make it simple.

The cost of healthcare is a tricky subject with no one taking ownership of what drives it. It is the politicians, it is pharma, it is hospitals, the doctor and so on. I do not think any one of us would say that healthcare is simple – we can all agree that we play a part in making it tedious and complaining about it. We need the first mile of healthcare to be simple. It is time we made it simple.

Have a debate? Have your own perspectives? Talk to me about it.

The Third Man on the Moon…
By: Badri Narasimhan

Practically every American aged 10 or more, and perhaps a good chunk of people around the world can name who the first man on the moon was. A search on Google for “first man on the moon” returns 809,000,000 results.

A much smaller portion of that crowd can tell you who the second man on the moon was – even though he was barely a few minutes behind Neil Armstrong. Yes – that was Buzz Aldrin. Can you tell me who the third man on the moon was? Don’t answer…you don’t have to. Pete Conrad may be ok if you don’t know him, but he was amazing and deserves a lot of credit too.

My point is this – in business, you have two choices. You can be a pioneer, a fast follower or a wanna-be who watches others innovate. Some innovations fail – no question about it. But if you let your fear stop you, sooner or later, there will be an innovation that will vastly limit the potential for you to regain your position in the market. Ask the folks in the Blue and yellow video rental company if they remember something about online movie watching when it first came out. P.s – the blue and yellow company is no more!

That is not to say that you jump on every new innovation and have a hap-hazard strategy. You do have a core business and sometimes, sticking to your middle of the fairway has a lot of advantages. I would caution you, however, that there are exceptions to every rule. When there is a threat to your way of doing business, that makes it substantially easier for your customers to access similar services, be very careful about wanting to be a fast follower.

Sure, you do not have the kind of budget that NASA does to be the pioneer. However, there are a lot of ways to experiment. Yes, there are a lot of competing projects, but if your customers leave you in droves because someone else made it easier to do business with them, you will be left without money to fund those cool projects.

The business gurus and strategy think tanks that write about innovation go back to a world where the next operational challenge does not encumber them. You have the real world where you have to balance your budget and weigh where you spend the time and energy of the organization. Even so, access to your customers, the front door to your business has to be a crucible of innovation.

If you have to tell your customers that you are trying something because you want to learn how to make it easier for them to do business with you and you fail, your customers will, in all likelihood pardon you for miscues. If you conduct 17 meetings to decide on the color of the wall paper and very rarely take a chance on being ahead of the pack, it is unlikely that in today’s world of fleeting customer loyalty, you stand a chance in the long run.

I say this from personal experience – I am in the business of taking a new method to increase patient access to health systems. That industry, not unlike many others, has innumerable challenges. Some would argue that the challenges are more now than ever, they are unique, there are pressures, regulations, etc. I agree with all of them. However, that which holds you back also holds your competitors back. If you take a chance and innovate, you will be setting yourselves apart even better.

The competition to healthcare delivery is unlikely to come from another health system with a different color building across the street. It is more likely to come from an entity that has made it easier for the patient to do business with the system. The competition for taxis did not come from a different color taxi. It came from individuals who took the power of wanting a taxi on to their own phone. The taxi industry had as much (some would say more microscopic) regulations as any other mainstream industry. The power of a large number of individuals took down the barriers. I know you can name the biggest app-based ride-hailing company. I am going to guess you can name the second biggest one as well…who do you think is the third? Don’t worry about trying to Google to find out. I have hopefully made my point again.

This brings me back to the 3rd man on the moon. Pete Conrad did not have the ability to buy his own rocket to get to the moon ahead of Neil Armstrong. You, as a health system, have the opportunity to find small innovations to experiment with patient experience. You have the capability to think different. Don’t be the third health system to innovate inpatient experience in your market. Frankly, second place is no good either. I hope you go out and try things and fail and learn and try again. Your patients demand that you do – they are constantly looking to make their lives easier – you better offer that experience to them. Or you will be like the 3rd largest ride-hailing company in your county that no one knows about.

Our other world-class modules are as follows:

1. AutoCode by AlertMD - Our artificial intelligence module Cassidi® automatically reviews clinical notes and saves time for the coders. It generates suggested pro fees when there are none. We reduce the time for the pro fee to be sent to the payor by about 9 days. We have also shown a 7% reduction in CBO expenses.

2. AutoConsult by AlertMD - We interpret requests for consult via artificial intelligence. We use our call schedule and proprietary routing algorithms to automatically send a consult to the consultant and get communication or confirmation back to the requesting provider without additional manual steps. This saves staff about 15 mins per consult and also increases patient safety by making sure every consult is serviced.

3. AutoCoordinate by AlertMD - Our care coordination module for ACOs and managed care organizations manages risk and sends notifications for case management and intervention from the market. Our customers have worked to decrease 1% in medical expense from the enhanced workflows.
