Getting rid of paper pushing.
A hospital in Tacoma, Wash., is taking several steps toward streamlining its business office functions. For example, the hospital is transmitting 90% of its claims electronically and has automated the posting of remittance advice and the billing of Medicare secondary payers. "Eventually we'll have a paperless system; we won't push paper back and forth," the hospital's patient accounts manager says.
