CMS’ new e-notification requirement under the hospital Conditions of Participation is now in effect

Partner with Audacious Inquiry, the industry leader in encounter notifications, for your compliance needs.

Fast Facts

Who does this affect?

Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals, including psychiatric hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals.

What is the requirement?

Admit, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) notifications for treatment, care coordination, or quality improvement purposes must be sent following Inpatient, Emergency Department, and Observation visits to ensure a ‘reasonable effort’ was made to send electronic notifications to providers, SNFs, and other suppliers at either the provider’s or patient’s request.

How do I meet compliance?

Audacious Inquiry’s cloud-based, SaaS platform provides a CoP solution that leverages ADT data and enables the transfer of electronic notifications at the point of care. CMS CoP compliance is assured through workflows and processes supporting the ability to share medical records when requested. Additionally, the solution provides reports specifying critical metrics for compliance both in reaching initial compliance and for maintaining compliance. With over a decade of proven practice in health information technology and policy expertise combined with our industry-leading real-time encounter notifications technology, this team of interoperability experts will take the burden off your IT staff to meet compliance. Let’s talk!

Added Value

CMS’ Conditions of Participation compliance is just one of the many capabilities we support. Our platform also helps organizations:

Ensure the seamless flow of health data

Audacious Inquiry supports compliance with ONC’s information blocking rule so patients, health plans, and providers can attain transparency and better communication.

Support value-based care

Having access to health data helps improve care outcomes, patient and member experiences, and drive down the total cost of care.

Enable smooth transitions of care

Hospitals leverage our connected care platform to assist with discharge planning and care teams benefit from enhanced care coordination management.

 

 

Receive comprehensive data that’s actionable

We deliver condition specific SmartAlerts containing clinical data or lab results in a variety of formats to the appropriate care providers.

Capture Transitional Care Management (TCM) revenue

Optimizes financial performance by enhancing the TCM capture rate through real-time discharge notifications, allowing timely follow-up and reduced readmissions.

Reduce patient leakage

When patients seek care outside of their hospital network, it makes it difficult for providers to track and support patient outcomes. By proactively identifying patient leakage, this provides an opportunity to intervene and provide care within network.
