The problem
OPD registration was done on paper. Pharmacy dispensing wasn't tied to patient records, so medicines went out on the ward and never made it to the bill. Lab results were printed and carried to doctors by hand, and now and then a result reached the treating doctor after the patient had already gone home. Closing the revenue cycle took 18–22 days after discharge, because the billing team had to piece together what had actually happened from three systems that didn't talk to each other.
Outcome
82% of OPD cases now close billing the same day. Revenue lost to unbilled pharmacy dispensing fell by 68% in the first quarter after launch. Ward nurses got back about 40 minutes a shift that used to go on paperwork. The hospital's COO put it simply: 'the first system that made the billing team and the clinical team actually talk to each other.'
