1. Discuss the relationship between patient accounts, data flow and charge capture.
a. Patient accounts are unique to each patient who is serviced by the facility. The account holds information such as the patient demographics, any insurance information, and patient’s medical records. Data flow is to make necessary information is accessible to necessary employees to complete treatment. Charge capture is how information is accumulated and put into a patient account. All three of these processes are valuable to patient care. Separately, these three components have processes within themselves, however, they come together to create a complete process that begins when the patient signs into the facility until the accounts receivable has been resolved.
