Clintegrity CAC Solutions

The transition to ICD-10 medical coding standards will improve patient care in the long-term. However, with eight times the codes of ICD-9 and increased specificity, the standards will require a totally new way of coding in order for your health system to overcome productivity and financial challenges. Clintegrity CAC - Computer-Assisted Coding solutions, in combination with Nuance Healthcare’s market-leading Clintegrity Coding and Clintegrity Compliance solutions, harnesses the power of Nuance’s Clinical Understanding (CLU) engine by automatically reading and translating electronic clinical documentation provided by healthcare practitioners into the appropriate medical codes. Clintegrity CAC solutions automatically generate suggested ICD-9-CM, CPT, ICD-10-CM, and PCS medical codes for review and validation, which accelerates code submission to patient billing systems and leads to a better result. This next-generation coding solution completely automates what was previously a resource-intensive process requiring manual interpretation of clinical documentation and coding input prior to billing. Hospitals have reported that CAC solutions have increased coder productivity by more than 20 percent, while decreasing coder overtime by as much as 80 percent and decreasing external audit fees by as much as 50 percent.

ICD-10-CM and PCS code sets incorporate greater specificity and clinical detail to provide information for clinical decision-making and outcomes research. This will impact virtually all providers of healthcare, including:

Both ICD-10-CM and PCS code sets are more complex than the predecessor. From retraining the entire coding workforce to increased Accounts Receivable (AR) days, this update can drastically affect the productivity and day-to-day operations of any compliant U.S. healthcare organization.

Other critical business concerns include:

Clintegrity CAC can help your organization mitigate anticipated productivity challenges due to the transition to ICD-10, while increasing accuracy and accelerating billing processes. Nuance Healthcare’s integrated coding solution, coupled with automated workflow and compliance editing, can ensure maximum productivity throughout all Health Information Management processes.
