New Consulting Firm Formed to Help Healthcare Providers Deal With Complex
Compliance Issues
From the most pressing issue of the CMS Recovery Audit Contractor Initiative
to Case Management to Clinical Documentation Optima Healthcare Consulting is
staffed with expert teams.

TAMPA, Fla., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In a healthcare environment under
severe pressure to comply with the ever-growing demands from many fronts like
Medicare, insurance companies and even their own boardrooms, many hospitals
are turning to outsourcing these tasks to a specialist who is able to move in
quickly with a team of experts, who work with their current staff, put them on
the right track and continue on an as-needed basis afterwards.
    Considering the start-up costs in time and money to build and train a
multi-disciplinary team, the ROI of this strategy is fiscally sound.
    Leading Optima Healthcare is Randi Ferrare with almost 20 years of
experience as a nurse on the ER floor to her dual masters in healthcare
administration and education to the executive office. She has lived, taught
and executed multiple programs saving her employers/clients millions of
dollars, drastically improving performance, both operationally and
financially, while improving outcomes and patient care.
    Randi has lectured and trained others on all of these subjects, has been
interviewed for articles in industry publications, and has been asked to lend
expert testimony in court.
    She was recently named Professional of the Year by the Association of
Clinical Documentation Implementation Specialist (ACDIS) for her work at a
large Florida hospital group.
    Partner and physician advisor, Steven Bowman MD, an active member of the
executive team with over 30 years experience as an internist brings a wealth
of knowledge in Denial Management, CMS RACS, Clinical Documentation and Case
Management Documentation and Corporate Compliance.  Of course, his most
important contribution is his perspective on these matters as a physician.
    Optima Healthcare Consulting is presently offering a free RAC financial
risk analysis.  See the website ohcci.com for details and more information
about the company and the services they offer as well.
