Achieve appropriate reimbursement for cardiovascular procedures
Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD, powered by ZHealth, improves interventional cardiology case reporting speed and accuracy with a single documentation‑to‑coding system that enables physicians to create fully‑specified reports completed with codes generated automatically.
The opportunity
Cardiac catheterization lab procedures are among the most complex areas of the hospital to accurately document, code, and bill. Variations in clinical presentations, methods, communication, and documentation styles affect the downstream workflow and coding, and even the most advanced hospitals struggle to capture the right information and revenue.

Benefits
Streamline catheterization lab documentation and coding
Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD helps hospitals and providers recognize the full value of every interventional cardiology procedure. By consolidating multiple steps into a single documentation‑to‑coding system, physicians create fully-specified reports with codes generated automatically.
Consolidate multiple steps into a single documentation‑to‑coding system to accelerate the revenue cycle by a day or more.
Reduce time spent on documentation, coding, and billing by 50% with streamlined workflows.
Automatically generated codes with near‑100% coding accuracy and alignment on hospital and physician billing codes.
Make the procedure and findings easy to understand with detailed graphical reports.
Features
A single system
In a single solution, Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD marries powerful user interfaces to a state‑of‑the‑art coding engine, harnessing ZHealth’s unique insights to improve coding accuracy resulting in a streamlined process.
A physician‑designed anatomical interface lets physicians quickly capture pathology and procedure details.
The finely tuned engine transforms the case description into codes which are kept current with the latest guidelines.
Coders can view physician documentation and coding output immediately. Inventory discrepancies and day-of-therapy procedures are flagged to ensure accuracy.
Physician reports are generated from the same data as the rest of the case record, eliminating discrepancies. Structured dictation automatically creates high quality narratives with no extra effort.
