Rhea-AI Summary

Retrieve Medical Holdings, Inc. (RMHI) announced a study showing a substantial increase in documented diagnoses using the Retrieve Dx software, resulting in improved physician documentation. The study analyzed 10,542 patient charts and identified 12,506 additional comorbidities and diagnoses. Retrieve Dx streamlines the validation and inclusion of comorbidities in patient records, positively impacting the Case Mix Index and reducing physician queries.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. , March 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retrieve Medical Holdings, Inc. (RMHI), the developer of Retrieve Dx, a real-time, cloud-based CDI (Clinical Documentation Integrity) application that improves physician documentation, today announced a study showing a substantial increase in documented diagnoses using the Retrieve software. In this updated study, 10,542 patient charts were analyzed, and 12,506 additional comorbidities and diagnoses were identified using the Retrieve Dx software solution.

With the simple push of a button, Retrieve Dx presents comorbidities to the physician's computer screen for validation and potential inclusion in the patient's record (if deemed necessary by the attending physician) for more complete medical documentation of the patient.

The significance of these results is two-fold. Firstly, an increased number of documented comorbidities (comorbidity capture rate) positively influences the Case Mix Index (CMI), a critical measure that reflects the complexity of cases treated at the institution. This index directly impacts reimbursement levels. Secondly, Retrieve saw a substantial reduction in physician queries. These queries, which typically demand clinicians to revisit and revise patient records, have been a source of additional work, workflow disruptions, and contribute to physician burnout.

According to Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Chairman of Retrieve and Past President of the American College of Emergency Physicians, "Our software has performed very well. This further validates our claim that Retrieve Dx not only enhances the documentation of existing comorbidities and additional diagnoses but also elevates the quality of documentation. These results prove, that over an extended period of time, hospitals can anticipate increased revenue due to the implementation of Retrieve Dx."
