Fallout from the pandemic continues to affect the world economy, most notably in healthcare.
Staffing Shortages in 2022
According to a recent article in Healthleaders, although most prevalent in nursing, healthcare staffing shortages are across the board. Not only are bedside caregivers burned out and leaving in record numbers, so are the background positions that keep a hospital running. Custodians, food service, medical records, financial and other vital staff are harder to hire and retain.
Workforce Augmentation for Coders and Auditors
With the pool of quality candidates diminishing or being snatched up by the competition, staff augmentation is an option that provides quality, credentialed staff without the stress of hiring and training. In addition to filling staffing shortages due to the pandemic, JTS can help you manage staffing gaps that result from medical leave, PTO, turnover or on-boarding new staff. Our team of trained coders and auditors is available to fill that gap in inpatient coding, outpatient coding, auditing, as well as other necessary roles. Our experienced team is complemented by proprietary technology, nCREAS™, to enhance both revenue opportunities and compliance. Ensuring that accurate and timely coding continues is imperative for the financial maintenance of a healthcare organization.
