abstract: When Saline Community Hospital, an 82-bed hospital in Saline Mich., saw its losses due to lower Medicare reimbursements mount, despite a review system already in place, administrators installed two intervention tools. The author discusses how an interactive software program and a plan to target "losing" DRGs can turn losses for any hospital.
