“Altos is providing our customers with an enhanced practice management solution that delivers an added level of analytic intelligence”

Altos Solutions’ alliance with RemitDATA and release of AltosINSIGHT to cancer treatment practices and centers, will provide intelligent analytics for oncology providers and practices to identify financial problem areas, as well as an understanding into reimbursement, drug utilization and staff productivity. Using this information through the use of AltosINSIGHT, physicians and executives in oncology centers can maximize efficiencies by monitoring and analyzing clinician productivity and payer performance, and benchmark their performance in real-time against peers on a state and national level.

“Altos is providing our customers with an enhanced practice management solution that delivers an added level of analytic intelligence,” stated Carla Wood Balch, Altos Solutions’ president. “Both physicians and practice executives will benefit from a completely new level of comparative analytics that enables optimized reimbursement and utilization efficiencies, resulting in fewer denials, accelerated cash flow and reduced risk of audits.”

RemitDATA President Michael Sanderson noted that, “Oncologists face a critical juncture as they balance reimbursement cuts, new payment models and increased audit risk. Now, more than ever, specialists need to understand their practice, and more importantly, how they compare to the market. Using positive and negative correlations, in real-time, helps to more rapidly assess causation – and can lead to significant gains in productivity savings, compliance reviews and strategic decisions. RemitDATA is pleased to play a part as Altos embeds our patented-solution as they launch AltosINSIGHT to the Oncology market. The old adage, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure” has never been more appropriate and we’re pleased to help cancer treatment specialists better manage the business of oncology.”
