Case management innovation supports medical
review automation to lessen administrative burden and increase
focus on patient care
Change Healthcare (Nasdaq: CHNG) today announced that Cerner
Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN), a global healthcare technology company,
has integrated Change Healthcare’s InterQual Connect™ Medical
Review Service and InterQual AutoReview™ into its Acute Case
Management (ACM) solution and electronic health record (EHR). By
offering an enhanced workflow for this integration, Cerner clients
can help their case managers more easily and efficiently prioritize
patients’ needs.

Cerner’s ACM solution works to decrease re-admission rates,
increase staff efficiencies, and collect appropriate reimbursement
by connecting clinical and financial information, and automating
within the EHR. The integration of Change Healthcare’s solutions
further helps case managers confirm patients receive the correct
services in the right setting. Case managers can quickly view the
status of medical reviews that have been completed
automatically—helping them allocate time to those that are
incomplete and improve efficiency of the review process.
Case managers in healthcare have a range of responsibilities and
must verify patients’ health insurance coverage and benefits, work
with patients’ care teams to determine appropriate care and related
billing, and coordinate additional healthcare services with outside
providers. With many different roles, reducing administrative
burden for case managers helps them optimize time to focus efforts
on helping patients receive the care they need.
“Aligning clinical and financial information helps improve
health outcomes and reduce costs. This new level of automation in
case management is a game changer,” said Jim Wagner, director,
Revenue Cycle Development, Cerner. “Cerner clients can use
intelligence to automate a previously manual process, giving case
managers and clinicians more time to concentrate on patients and
their quality of care.”
InterQual AutoReview is a flexible SaaS solution that is
integrated into leading EHR applications and case management
systems. Its robotic process automation capabilities extract
clinical data directly from EHRs and map it to the InterQual
Criteria. Users gain automated, evidence-based clinical decision
support and access to clinical data within their workflow, helping
ensure that patients receive the most appropriate care.
Along with enabling InterQual AutoReview, the InterQual Connect
Medical Review Service provides organizations with a new, enhanced
InterQual user interface. It helps provide users with access to the
most current evidence-based clinical criteria—available as soon as
they are published to the cloud—as well as to custom policies
published by connected payers.
“The powerful combination of Cerner’s unique worklist
functionality and the InterQual AutoReview robotic process
automation stands to transform the role of the ED case manager,”
said Nilo Mehrabian, vice president of Product Management, Decision
Support for Change Healthcare. “Less time spent in administrative
tasks means a more efficient focus on managing patient care. We are
thrilled to work with Cerner to support this new level of medical
review automation for Acute Case Management users.”
