How can you show your CM efforts' effectiveness?
All your efforts to improve clinical and financial outcomes at your facility could go underappreciated--and underfunded--unless you can forcefully demonstrate the effectiveness of your program to the important stakeholders at your hospital. The first step is to fully understand the extent of your own strengths and capabilities, particularly in the areas of financial outcomes, functional outcomes, and provider, patient, and family satisfaction. In demonstrating effectiveness to administrators, experts recommend presenting a high-level picture of cost-containment efforts and achievements followed by a brief discussion of areas for potential improvement. For physicians, use visual displays of data that demonstrate effectiveness at the level of clinical practice.
