Manual implant billing may seem manageable on a case-by-case basis. A missing detail can be tracked down, a pricing question can be reviewed, and a vendor follow-up can happen after the procedure.
We’re excited to welcome Banner Health, BayCare, and Novant Health to the Casechek community. These partnerships reflect a growing focus on one of the last frontiers in the hospital supply chain: bringing greater control and financial governance to vendor-managed procedural supplies. Casechek helps health systems govern Bill-Only and rep-managed supply workflows before they become POs, …
Join Casechek and Vanderbilt University Medical Center for a discussion on how VUMC transformed its Bill-Only process from manual, people-dependent review to a standardized, automated workflow. The session covers how the team improved EHR documentation accuracy from 78% to 99.7%, reduced surgery-to-PO cycle time from 10 days to under 2 days, strengthened supplier accountability, and achieved …
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about topics in healthcare technology. For health systems facing manual workflows, staffing constraints, and growing financial pressure, the appeal is understandable.
Modern surgery operates with extraordinary precision. Every instrument, implant, and decision is carefully coordinated to support the best possible patient outcomes.
In many hospitals today, implant workflows still depend on a long-standing model: vendors deliver products just in time, sales reps coordinate trays, and critical details are documented after the procedure.
For many community health systems, especially those operating with lean supply chain teams, manual Bill-Only workflows are still creating missed charges, delayed billing, unreconciled spend, and margin leakage. Join William Stitt, Executive Director of Supply Chain Services at Cape Cod Healthcare, as he shares how his team identified what was breaking down and rebuilt the …
Bill-Only workflows are often evaluated after the fact. A bill is flagged, a discrepancy is found, or a payment is delayed. By the time the issue surfaces the patient already went home with the item implanted and teams are working backward to figure out what went wrong.
Bill-Only workflows are inherently complex, but most issues do not stem from a single failure. They arise from how information is captured, shared, and reconciled across the lifecycle of a case.
Sterile processing is fundamental to every surgical procedure. When it functions well, surgeries run on schedule, clinicians have what they need, and patients receive safe, timely care.
