Lehigh Valley Hospital Chooses MDaudit™
Software enables physician group to improve compliance auditing process
Newton, MA, October 31, 2008 – Hayes Management Consulting
announced today that it will provide its MDaudit™ software to Lehigh Valley
Physician Group (LVPG), affiliated with Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health
Network (LVHHN) of Pennsylvania. The software automates administrative
compliance audit tasks, improving audit productivity. MDaudit is currently in use
at over forty large physician practices, including eight of the top fifteen
healthcare organizations in the country, as identified by US News & World
Report.
"LVPG Compliance is passionate about doing it right," says Robert B. Knox,
Associate Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Lehigh Valley Physician
Group. "The current manual process for documentation review is cumbersome
and time consuming. The implementation of MDaudit software will increase the
efficiency of the current compliance staff and streamline the process. The product will
enable the staff to provide more timely feedback and education to the physicians
and non-physicians, in addition to enhancing quality patient care through compliant
documentation."
MDaudit was designed to help organizations reduce compliance risk by increasing
productivity and streamlining the audit process. In addition to allowing staff more
time to focus on physicians, the software also helps compliance departments develop
consistent, professional reporting and view trends at-a-glance.
"We are bringing compliance auditing to the next level with this technology," says
Pete Butler, President of Hayes Management Consulting. "Compliance departments
become more productive and physicians benefit from accelerated reimbursement due to
accurate coding."
