The situation

Health checkups ran at 11 a day. Credit billing, nursing handover, day-care surgery billing, coagulation lab tests and account closure all took too long. Inaccurate patient files meant billable events were missed. Surgery adherence was 40%, and theatres were under-used. Billing and medication errors were high.

What we did

  • Ran strategic initiatives and a lean transformation across clinical and financial processes.
  • Automated financial processes.

The result

  • Health checkups rose from 11 to 200 a day.
  • Surgery adherence rose from 40% to 85%.
  • Account closure fell from 30 days to 15.
  • Coagulation lab reports went from 4 hours to 2.5 hours.
  • Material consumption fell from 30% to 28% of revenue.
  • Nurses had more time for patients, and billing moved faster.
