Auburn (Ala.) University researchers used data from more than 5,300 healthcare providers to better understand the relationships between clinical and business IT investments and revenue management performance, according to a May 25 news release.
In addition to boosting revenue, the researchers found that implementing one new clinical IT system can decrease uncompensated care ratios by 27.9 percent, and implementing one new business IT system can decrease uncompensated care ratios by 19.1 percent.
