The Solution
After thoroughly evaluating our client’s goals, RevShore suggested and implemented key improvements to the phase 1 portal. In phase 2, RevShore focused on improving visual layouts, automating manual tasks, and improving self-service resources.
User Friendly Layouts
RevShore identified visual enhancements to enhance user experiences on account, contact, service address, and case page layouts. By evaluating the use, importance, and placement of fields in each layout, RevShore successfully refined the visual experience to optimize user-friendliness, functionality, and clarity. This streamlined data entry, making it more efficient and accessible.
Data Entry Enhancements
In Portal Phase 1, numerous fields lacked validation, resulting in data entry errors, especially for phone numbers and fax numbers. These mistakes often cause delays in the credentialing and onboarding process.
To address this, RevShore implemented validation formulas to ensure accuracy when entering phone and fax numbers. Providers who inputted non-conventional numbers were unable to progress to the next step, effectively eliminating data entry errors.
Eliminating Manual Tasks
RevShore suggested implementing a variety of automations to replace manual tasks, enabling employees to concentrate on value-driven activities. The bulk of manual work revolved around eliminating duplicate service addresses and streamlining attestation processes.
Duplicate Service Addresses
As our client used both individual and traditional accounts in Salesforce, the task of identifying and correcting duplicate service addresses demanded a considerable amount of manual labor. By utilizing workflow automations, duplicate addresses could be promptly identified, enabling physicians to associate with a multi-site or multi-physician account accurately without the risk of mis-categorization.
Attestation and Communication Flows
Before RevShore, our client’s employees spent considerable time reminding providers to complete tasks during the attestation process. Communication was entirely manual, requiring staff to craft each email and plan every touchpoint. RevShore proposed an automated workflow utilizing pre-designed email templates to proactively prompt providers to submit attestation every ten days. Communications were customized based on the attestation stage, ensuring not only timely reminders but also a focus on the most pertinent tasks.
Providers would be unable to access the portal until attestation was finalized, eliminating the necessity for staff to manually manage portal statuses for each individual applicant.
Creating a Base of Knowledge
Providers were sending support requests for common issues they could probably handle themselves, overwhelming CSRs with avoidable cases. RevShore proposed covering various topics to empower providers with self-service solutions for frequent issues. Furthermore, we arranged articles for internal or external access based on providers’ needs before gaining portal access.
