Ohio State University Physicians Choose MDaudit™
Audit automation software allows staff to better assist physicians with coding

Newton, MA, August 7, 2008 –

Hayes Management Consulting announced today that it will provide its MDaudit™ software to Ohio State University Physicians, Inc. (OSUP). 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.

"OSU Physicians, Inc. ("OSUP") is committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards," says Lori Oberholzer, JD MS RT(R), who is Director, Risk Management and Compliance at OSUP. "Through improvement in the administrative aspects of our compliance review process, the compliance staff will have more time to educate physicians and non-physician practitioners, identify trends, and handle a larger workload with fewer resources."

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. "Instead of using a laborious paper process, compliance staff can assess trends and mitigate risk with a click of a mouse. Physicians receive focused attention, and benefit from accelerated reimbursement due to accurate coding."
