Workflow Orchestration is the automated coordination of multi-step revenue cycle activities across systems, roles, and timelines. It sequences tasks like eligibility checks, claim submission, status follow-up, and appeals with rules, SLAs, and error handling. Example: a DSO auto-routes 2,500 claims aged over 30 days for nightly status checks, escalates any with no payer response within 72 hours, and triggers documentation retrieval before rework.
Why it matters
In multi-location enterprises processing 10,000–100,000 claims monthly, fragmented handoffs create idle time, denials, and revenue leakage. Orchestration can cut manual touches 30–50%, lower denial rates 5–10%, and reduce Days Sales Outstanding by 3–7 days—freeing $2M+ in working capital for a 100-location DSO with ~$150M annual collections. It also creates repeatable operating models that scale during acquisitions and system consolidations.
How Ventus helps
