Solvent Networks Announces NEW Partnership to Reduce Energy Costs
Solvent Networks announces a new partner who will help hospitals cut energy costs, reduce the carbon footprint, and enhance security. Solvent Networks welcomes Vivid Energies, a manufacturer and installer of LED lighting.
Replacing fluorescent lights with LEDs can save up to 70 percent of energy costs. LED bulbs last 25 times longer, also lowering ongoing maintenance costs. Each project proposal from Vivid provides an estimate of expected savings and length of time to see a return on investment, typically 18 months or less. Vivid also provides upfront financing options, alleviating the strain of upfront costs for hospitals.
Visit Vivid Energies for more details and contact Solvent Networks to set up an onsite consultation.
Collective Medical Now IDs Sepsis Survivors at Admission
Collective Medical has launched new functionality to identify sepsis survivors in real-time, and it’s being offered at no additional charge for all facilities on the Collective network. At patient admission, Collective now sends event notifications on any patient with a history of sepsis, calling attention to these patients as high-risk.
According to the CDC, 1.7 million adults develop sepsis each year, and it claims the lives of nearly 270,000. Early recognition and prompt treatment remain pivotal steps in reducing morbidity, mortality and total cost of sepsis. A study published by JAMA found that 42.6 percent of severe sepsis survivors were re-hospitalized within 90 days.
To learn more about the new sepsis functionality, read the full press release. Collective’s platform now connects patient data from all 50 states. Physicians, nurses and care team members benefit from patient insights sourced from every state in the nation. Contact Solvent Networks for more information or to set up a conversation with Collective.
A Patient Financing Strategy with CommerceHealth will Reduce A/R
A recent case study of Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey showed significant reductions in accounts receivable due to the implementation of a patient financing strategy via CommerceHealth. Since launching the Health Services Financing in May 2017, the medical center has seen its bad debt drop by $3 million.
As a result of changes in employee sponsored and individual health plans, patients and families now find themselves with greater financial responsibility for their healthcare costs. As the patient’s financial responsibility increases, a comprehensive strategy focused on making it easier and more flexible for patients to pay is imperative for all healthcare entities.
Read the full case study online. Contact Solvent Networks to find out if the Health Services Financing, revenue cycle automation, or e-payables can be a solution for you.
