IntelliCentrics recently attended the 2022 Becker’s ASC Review Meeting. There we talked to healthcare executives from ambulatory care facilities across the nation and used our demos to show them how digital credentialing can ensure the highest level of revenue activation and operational efficiencies.
The results of those conversations indicate that many ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are in need of  new technology to credential vendors and providers. Specifically in provider credentialing, they often rely on a manual process to onboard physicians,

The AHRMM trade show takes place August 7-10 in Anaheim, California and IntelliCentrics will be onsite on the 8th and 9th at booth 600 for in-person meetings and product demos. We will cover how technological advancements can help you safely manage the revolving door — the continuous movement of providers, patients, vendors, and visitors who visit your healthcare facility. 
Creating Operational Efficiencies in a Secure Environment
The primary goal of the technology services offered by Intellicentrics is to improve operational efficiencies in healthcare facilities while maintaining a secure environment.

Digitization of processes in healthcare facilities has developed rapidly over the last decade. Billions of dollars have been invested in areas as diverse as electronic health records, big data, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, predictive healthcare, and wearable medical devices. 
We recently conducted a poll on LinkedIn amongst hospital executives. The poll focuses on the preferred methods of enhancing physical security onsite. Minimizing entry points and enforcing check-in procedures were the leading vote-getters, with increasing visitor monitoring and installing metal detectors also garnering votes.

How do you ensure patient safety in today’s increasingly complex healthcare environment? The commonly held belief that 250,000 preventable inpatient deaths occur every year has thankfully proven unfounded, but this does not lessen the need to identify patient safety risks. 
Diagnostic errors, lack of proper monitoring processes, errors related to procedures, and poor management of medical conditions remain threats to patient safety. Proper use of the SEC³URE Ethos platform and similar technology helps locations of care reach patient safety goals by streamlining credentialing and scheduling,

At IntelliCentrics, we are transforming healthcare by utilizing trust. Our SEC³URE Ethos technology platform serves a global community of more than 11,000 locations of care, with nearly one million registered users.
Since day one, we have built this community on three principles that guide what we do, what we bring forward to the marketplace, and how we serve our customers. Our customer obsession and relentless pursuit of the highest quality of care for all inform our principles.

In the SEC³URE Ethos community, we strive to make quality healthcare as accessible as a good cup of coffee by creating an environment of trusted encounters between all participants in the healthcare journey. We focus on enabling frictionless encounters for that provider-patient-location of care interaction to improve clinical and quality outcomes at an optimized cost.
In the middle of that equation, no individual is more important than the patient and their family support system.

Fast credentialing became especially important in 2020 with the emergence of COVID-19 and the need for healthcare facilities to enforce COVID-related compliance policies and procedures. The nature of such policies changed rapidly in the early days of the pandemic, and continue to evolve in response to vaccination efforts and the national prevalence of the delta variant. Recent enhancements to our SEC³URE Ethos platform now allow healthcare facilities the ability to configure their COVID-19 policies based on the dosing,

The emergence and rapid spread of the COVID-19 delta variant have led to a dramatic rise in hospitalizations across the United States. According to the CDC, delta is twice as contagious as previous variants and appears to cause more serious symptoms in unvaccinated patients. Rates of hospitalization are now similar to those seen prior to vaccination efforts.
In response, states like Texas are implementing a series of actions to mitigate rising COVID-19 rates, including seeking out-of-state medical professionals to support overwhelmed hospitals.
