SmartUM
About SmartUM
Health care leaders nationwide are working together to improve utilization management processes. The goal is to improve patients’ access to safe, timely, and affordable care, while reducing administrative burdens for health care professionals, hospitals, and health insurance providers.
Today’s UM teams are largely relying on phone/fax to gather clinical information, reviewing each and every case and often outreaching to provider offices multiple times for clarity or additional patient information. Meanwhile, the patient waits, often for days or weeks, for well-intended providers and UM teams to coordinate care. A new solution is needed – SmartUM.
