Saint Joseph’s Controls Revenue Cycle Compliance with
Compliance 360
Georgia’s longest-standing hospital chooses a solution
to increase visibility, accountability and controls within the Revenue
Cycle
Atlanta, GA. – November 27, 2007 – Compliance 360, Inc.,
a provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management software,
today announced that one of the top specialty-referral hospitals
in the southeast, Saint Joseph’s Hospital, has successfully
implemented the Compliance 360 solution to enhance accountability,
efficiently track compliance projects, and report on controls within
their Revenue Cycle.
In late 2006, Saint Joseph’s Hospital identified a requirement
to establish more comprehensive controls and enhance visibility around
its Revenue Cycle operations. Compliance 360 was selected as Saint
Joseph’s partner to address this need due to its proven track
record in the health-care market and the enterprise-wide capabilities
of its product offering. With the offering successfully in use following
a three month implementation effort, Saint Joseph’s Hospital
can now comprehensively demonstrate completion of critical compliance
activities, document communication throughout the organization, and
effectively conduct real-time reporting on compliance status.
The Revenue Cycle Department has realized particular benefits from
four key Compliance 360 capabilities: Project Management, Surveys,
Meetings Management, and Enterprise Risk Management. Project Management
enhances the department’s ability to focus key personnel to
proactively highlight and properly address potential compliance shortfalls.
The Survey’s unique capabilities ensure accurate billing; detailed
questionnaires help ensure critical documentation is properly completed.
The Meetings Management functionality allows the Revenue Cycle Department
to organize and electronically document key meetings, attendees,
and outcomes to ensure this information is available for future reference
and provide better accountability. Lastly, Saint Joseph intends to
utilize Compliance 360 Enterprise Risk Management capabilities to
implement key controls and automate monitoring of control tests to
ensure proper completion of Revenue Cycle stages.
“Before adopting the Compliance 360 solution, we merely relied
on our shared server which did not supply the necessary workflow
or accountability vital to our compliance efforts.” says Valerie
Barckhoff, Vice President of Revenue Cycle. “Compliance 360
offers off-site protection of our compliance activities which minimizes
any chance of external threats jeopardizing the organization’s
ability to show compliance history and current status. Additionally,
Compliance 360 has greatly enhanced our PEPPER Reporting.”
