Our models don't only suggest up-coding possibilities, but also chart quality improvements! As a result, patient's charts become more accurate, allowing for potentially better patient care in subsequent visits.

Also, the hospitals being able to bill more accurately allows them to have more resources to invest in patient care, and when you consider that a lot of hospitals operate on 1-3% profit margins while health insurance companies operate on a sometimes exponentially higher %, it's actually one of my favorite aspects of what we're building here.

To each their own though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"allows them to have more resources to invest in patient care" LOL


lmao even
