Every out-of-network referral is revenue walking out the door.
When care coordinators can't quickly find an in-network provider, patients end up scheduled out-of-network — or worse, they don't get scheduled at all. For health systems, that's lost revenue. For ACOs, that's a missed quality measure. For patients, it's a worse outcome.
Every misplaced discharge is a readmission waiting to happen.
When discharge planners can't quickly find the right post-acute facility — one that's in-network, has capacity, and meets the patient's care needs — patients end up at the wrong facility or don't get placed at all. That means readmissions, revenue leakage, and worse outcomes.
