MethodCare, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare predictive analytics solutions and services, announced today that Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), the largest hospital in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, will implement its Charge Capture Solution to automate processes and secure greater, faster revenue from missed charges.

LLUMC will leverage MethodCare’s cloud-based predictive analytics solution to optimize its charge capture processes and expedite revenue recovery from missed charges. MethodCare’s Charge Capture Solution seamlessly integrates with LLUMC’s existing Health Information System (HIS), and supports the system’s upcoming transition to Epic without any additional burden on LLUMC’s resources.

MethodCare’s data mining innovation leverages our data assets so we can operate smarter and more efficiently around charge capture,” said Cindy Schmidt, vice president, LLUMC. “MethodCare’s data-driven approach provides us access to real-time analytics for the first time. We now know where and why missed charges occurred, which means we can curb additional revenue leakage before it hits our bottom line.”

MethodCare’s Charge Capture Solution includes a robust suite of advanced dashboards and reports to provide LLUMC with the analytics in real-time to help make proactive, sustainable improvements and continue its endeavors to remain at the forefront of revenue cycle management.

The Loma Linda University Medical Center also includes the Heart and Surgical Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and physician clinics, the Loma Linda Behavioral Medicine Center, and collectively sees over 30,000 inpatients and about 750,000 outpatient visits a year.
