3M Health Information Systems
Manual vs. computer-assisted coding
-
Does using the 3M™ 360 Encompass™ System mean an improved case mix index? Yes, it does.
How sure are we?
The statistics speak for themselves. A blind study shows with 95 percent certainty that a hospital on board with 3M 360 Encompass will have a positive shift between 0.0102 and 0.2069 in its CMI.¹
-
What does that mean to a bottom line?
That kind of CMI shift would mean an annual impact between $378K and $7.7M.
-
And how does 3M’s CAC (computer-assisted coding) compare with manual methods?
The clients working with our CAC the majority of the time are more likely to see a CMI increase than those relying on manual coding methods.²,³
