CaseWare IDEA Applications
Here are some examples of analyses that can be performed using IDEA. Data from different systems can be brought together for complete analysis. Ultimately, you are only limited by your imagination.
Accounts Receivable, Patient Billing and Managed Care
- Calculate average days from discharge to bill and bill to payment by payer or department
- Determine appropriate level of contractual allowance and doubtful accounts reserves
- Age receivables on date-of-service rather than invoice date to recalculate cash flow
- Analyze rejected payments by financial class, procedure code, and cost centre
- Identify underpaid managed care accounts
- Determine profit margin by physician and financial class
Charges
- Identify late charges by department and by month
- Look for invalid, high dollar, or duplicate charges on patient bills
- Look for lost charges by matching supplies used to supplies billed
- Check procedure codes and billed charges to identify inappropriately billed charges

- Compare patient visit data on clinical subsystems to patient master data
- Identify interface failures
- Identify pricing discrepancies between subsystems and master data
Marketing
- Develop patient statistics by postal codes or other demographic data
- Look for incomplete or miscoded patient demographic information
- Identify profitable segments of the patient population

- Analyze usage and ordering to improve inventory reordering
- Report on stock and high value balances using any selection criteria
- Identify obsolete inventory by turnover analysis
- Compare speed and accuracy of delivery by product and vendor

- List incomplete records and incompatible coding
