Register and join us at ABQAURP’s 48th Annual Conference. Hear Wendy Ayers, Director of Utilization Review at Inova Health System, discuss how a comprehensive analysis of hospital denial trends—both pre- and post-billing—has informed targeted workflow improvements within Utilization Review (UR). By evaluating existing denial management processes and data collection methods, key areas were identified for process enhancement, including better alignment of clinical documentation, real-time status validation, and more efficient communication between departments. Hear how these insights drove the development of a collaborative, data-driven strategy that empowers interdisciplinary teams to proactively address high-risk denial categories. This session will highlight practical examples of how these workflow changes have led to measurable improvements in UR outcomes and denial prevention.
