The implementation of Regard led to significant improvements, including a $3 million increase in annual revenue, a 7% rise in CC/MCC capture rate, and a 10% increase in case mix index. Physicians experienced a 20% reduction in documentation time, enhancing their satisfaction and engagement. The tool provided a single view of patient records, saving physicians time and allowing them to focus more on patient care.
Regard's AI capabilities also improved patient safety by calculating risk factors and flagging potential safety issues. The pilot program, involving 30 users, demonstrated the tool's effectiveness, leading to its rollout across all hospitalists and residents in the system. Today, 95% of Penn Highlands physicians voluntarily use Regard, and the system plans to expand its use to intensivists and physician practices.
The collaboration between Penn Highlands and Regard showcases the potential of AI in healthcare to enhance patient care, streamline workflows, and increase revenue. The success of this partnership highlights the importance of accurate documentation and risk adjustment in improving healthcare outcomes.
