Batch Revenue Cycle Management Score: 3.9/5.0
Scheduled Batch & Periodic Processing | Internal audience
Missing charges represent direct revenue loss. A medication is administered but not documented in the charge capture system; a procedure is performed but not billed due to a missing charge code. Studies estimate 2 to 5% of billable services are never captured, costing hospitals $1 to 2M annually. Manual charge audits are labour-intensive and often incomplete; many missed charges are never recovered.

Charge capture recovery is a direct revenue lever: recovering 50% of 2 to 5% missed charges = $500K to $1M annually for mid-sized hospitals. The data is highly structured (orders, charges, codes), and reconciliation logic is deterministic. This use case requires minimal operational overhead and delivers immediate ROI.
Sprint 0 (2 weeks) + 2 build sprints (4 weeks)
Charge capture audits run nightly as a batch process: reconcile today's orders against charges, identify gaps. The initial 2-week sprint focuses on EHR order-to-charge reconciliation and simple missing charge detection; a second sprint adds CDM validation and automated backdating. This is a lower-complexity use case suitable for rapid deployment.
