Mercy advises that collaboration is the best medicine

And, as its cross-functional team demonstrates, collaboration is the mortar that is enabling its steady digital transformation to address challenges from compliance to care to cost containment.

As a result, Mercy has increased its operational efficiency and productivity while continuing to focus on improved patient safety and outcomes. Case in point: Charge capture in its highest cost area—surgery—has improved by 28-30 percent. This has resulted in more than a $340 charge capture per procedure and the documentation of tens of millions of charges not previously captured.
