HOW TIME STUDIES IMPACT YOUR
HOSPITAL’S BOTTOM LINE
AN 8-PART LEARNING SERIES
Understand How Time Is Money When It Comes to Medicare Reimbursement
Time studies are among the least understood parts of CMS reimbursement. Even experienced reimbursement professionals don’t always have a clear picture of why they do them and what impact—direct or indirect—they have on their CMS reimbursements. If you do them well or not, does it swing reimbursement by $10,000 or $10,000,000?
This series breaks it down for you in plain English through a series of educational articles.
Time studies can be complex, but once you understand them, it will help you, your team, and your hospital’s bottom line.
Using our experience and drawing on the knowledge of recognized experts, we will take an opaque process and bring clarity to it. Our mission is to give you the knowledge that will:
Serve as an impetus to improve your process
Explain the “why” of time studies to get buy-in from team members
Provide tips on ways to elevate your time study process.
We can’t promise to make you like time studies, but by the end, you will know what they mean to your hospital’s bottom line. By connecting these dots, you can communicate to others and rally their participation and support.
