Workforce Management

The healthcare market is considered resistant to economic recession, but that doesn't mean it's any easier to hire and keep good workers when dollars are in short supply. Hospitals and clinics often outsource business processes such as clinical documentation and billing and revenue cycle, while working to retain care professionals and other core staff. Despite recent economic downturn, healthcare remains one of the fastest-growing job sectors in the United States.

Improve care quality, coordination, and revenue with Apixio Community Search
February 14, 2012 | On Demand Webinars
Studies show that more than 60% of key clinical patient information resides within narrative text or scanned documents, effectively hidden from care providers and mission-critical care or payment systems.
