Nursing

The improvement in health care delivery since the introduction of management

information systems has been directed towards telehealth. Through telehealth leverages data

mining and analytics, healthcare providers can streamline tasks such as eligibility and

benefits verification, preauthorization, medical necessity, and billing and collections, thereby

shortening the payment cycle and improving patient satisfaction. Data mining and

management information systems support a comprehensive pharmacy revenue cycle solution

that helps providers better manage the entire patient continuum from registration through

recovery (Tracy and O’Grady, 2019). Patient portals enable providers, payers, and labs to

share patient information conveniently, but portals also introduce security vulnerabilities.

Therefore, to ensure cybersecurity in patient portals, information systems service providers

increasingly adopt security technologies and information-processors similar to those of credit

and financial institutions to protect patient information.

Medical facilities are leveraging data mining to improve healthcare delivery.

Healthcare providers can streamline tasks such as eligibility and benefits verification,

preauthorization, medical necessity, and billing and collections, thereby shortening the

payment cycle and improving patient satisfaction; a comprehensive pharmacy revenue cycle

solution can help providers better manage the entire patient continuum from registration

through recovery. Buppert (2018) affirms that integrated patient and payment RCM systems

can give providers greater control over their revenue processes. Besides, integrating the

process with data and analytics in more powerful ways will help the hospital staff reduce the

time spent in data-entry tasks and increase the time spent delivering patient care.

Data mining through automated information systems such as the Computerized

Provider Order Entry (CPOE) incorporated with decision-support would effectively eliminate

inappropriate medication errors. It is designed to reduce the alert burden by concentrating on

clinically-relevant warnings. Furthermore, make effective the in-house medical billing

([Link], 2018). For example, one way to do so is by considering designing a

communication plan that will facilitate direct communication amongst physicians and the

health information management (HIM) department representatives, and the professionals'

involved in billing and coding processes.
