Shore Memorial Hospital integrates audit tracking and reporting application into
existing release-of-information system
GRAPEVINE, Texas--(Business Wire)--
MRO Corp., the market leader of shared-service, release-of-information (ROI) and
audit tracking solutions for healthcare providers, today announced Shore
Memorial Hospital (Somers Point, N.J.) has contracted to implement Audit Tracker
Online. The request management software and service enables hospitals and health
systems to effectively manage the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) process and
other payer audits from initial medical records request through appeals and
payment resolution. 

Through this agreement, Shore Memorial Hospital, a not-for-profit community
hospital with 296 licensed beds and more than 350 physicians, will integrate
Audit Tracker Online with its existing release-of-information processing
software and service from MRO. The customizable software will allow the facility
to manage patient information, workflow, correspondence, audit determinations
and the various stages of each appeals process in one central, secure location. 

"The financial performance of a hospital can be negatively impacted by payer
audits and subsequent denials, but the scope of healthcare provider audits
extends beyond the current focus on RACs," said John Walton, vice president of
sales & marketing, MRO. "Audit Tracker Online will allow Shore Memorial to
monitor and manage a variety of payer audits and denials - including private
payers, quality improvement organizations and other Medicare- and Medicaid-based
audits." 

In addition to tracking all aspects of audit processes, the hospital will use
the application to create detailed trend analyses, identifying steps that will
allow them to enhance their claims processes and improve clinical and financial
information in an effort to avoid future audits.
