The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 threw a punch at the economy, and at healthcare in particular, from which it will be challenging to recover.
Due to the pandemic, healthcare spending in the U.S. declined by 18% in the first quarter of 2020, the largest decline since 1959, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The American Hospital Association reports that hospitals and health systems lost $200 billion in the first quarter of this year, while the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) indicates that 97% of physician practices experienced negative financial impact as a result of the virus.
Though it will be difficult, coming back from the pandemic is achievable and will require a wide range of strategic and tactical initiatives that are outlined in this white paper.

There has been substantial growth in observation for many years as demonstrated by the increase in Medicare observation spending from $690 million in 2011 to $3.1 billion in 2016. Along with this growth, the financial impacts of observation care on hospitals are increasing as well. Unfortunately, due to a lack of observation data, it is difficult for hospitals and health systems to identify problems, find their causes, and understand their organization's relative performance in managing observation patients.
With the implementation of observation management best practices including a recommended observation management model, defined inclusion/exclusion criteria, observation-specific patient progression practices, and the regular measurement of key performance metrics, hospital and health system leadership can have a positive financial impact of millions of dollars each year on their organizations.
With this white paper, you will be able to answer:
What is the difference between Observation Care and Observation Management?
Why does Observation Management matter?
What are some potential causes of Observation Management problems?
What are the best practices for progression of patients in observation?
