The 72-Hour Trap

Manual entries are prone to a 25% loss rate if not recorded within 3 days

Hospitals using IDENTI indicate:

Clean Claim Rates of 95% or higher

Using the IDENTI camera technology powered by AI and computer vision, healthcare facilities move from retrospective auditing to proactive capture. Our charge capture optimization technology identifies implants and non-sterile items instantly, ensuring every HCPCS code is recorded accurately.

Charge Capture Optimization:
Strategic Decision-Making, Plugging Leakage, and Expanding Margins

The Impact on Revenue Cycle

In the high-stakes environment of the Operating Room, manual documentation remains a primary driver of financial inefficiency. Research confirms that hospitals lose 1–2% of net revenue annually specifically due to missed or incomplete charge capture, transforming the OR into a “revenue black hole.” 

Effective charge capture optimization is no longer just an operational goal; it is a financial imperative. By capturing 100% of high-value implants and consumables in real-time, Identi AI eliminates the typical 72-hour lag that can lead to a 25% loss in capture rates. 

This shift from retrospective auditing to proactive integrity directly expands profit margins, ensuring that the hospital is fully reimbursed for every resource utilized before the patient even leaves the procedure room.

Precision in Service Line Analysis

For healthcare executives, accurate Service Line Analysis is the foundation of strategic growth and resource allocation. 

However, when manual documentation results in a 38% discrepancy in surgical item consumption—as seen in complex orthopedic and cardiovascular procedures—the resulting cost-per-case data is fundamentally flawed. 

Charge capture optimization serves as the critical engine for data integrity, providing the granular visibility required to assess the true profitability of specific specialties. With AI-verified data, CFOs and Supply Chain Managers can move beyond guesswork, utilizing precise reimbursement and cost metrics to optimize their most critical service lines and drive long-term institutional stability.

Proven Success:

Recovering 38% of Lost Charges in Orthopedic Surgery

In a recent audit of a complex elbow procedure, IDENTI’s charge capture optimization revealed a 38% discrepancy between manual notes and actual item consumption. By automating the capture process, the facility recovered thousands of dollars in a single case—revenue that was previously unbilled.

Real-Time Accuracy:
The New Standard for Charge Capture Optimization

Accurate OR utilization data is the foundation of charge capture optimization, ensuring the inclusion of ALL billable charges in your healthcare organization's medical billing.

It’s time to face reality, point-of-use data capture technology regularly fails to record every consumed item, instead diverting nurses down a manual, keying-in process, that often leads to errors and data gaps. Are you ready to end the perioperative documentation burden and find new ways to optimize charge capture?

Aware of the limitations of their point of use systems, and keen to prevent claim delays and denials, providers often put in place post surgery documentation reviews and reconciliation exercises. But isn’t this addressing the symptom rather than the cause?

The truth is that lost surgical supply revenue requires a more proactive approach.

It’s time to leverage new AI charge capture technology to fix surgical supply revenue capture once and for all.

Next-Gen Technology for Charge Capture Optimization

Snap&Go represents the next generation of Point of Use (POU) data capture, specifically engineered for charge capture optimization. This breakthrough solution is powered by advanced computer vision and AI technology, designed to eliminate the manual bottlenecks that plague traditional RCM workflows.

Central to its success is a 3-second “Snap” – capturing a digital picture of each product’s packet or label at the point of care. Our AI and machine learning algorithms then convert this image into verified data, routing it through a global SKU data lake to fix any missing or incorrect information. This ensures that every surgical item is identified, verified, and fully recorded in your EHR, ERP, and MMIS before the patient leaves the room.

By automating the most error-prone part of the process, Snap&Go reduces the nurse’s documentation workload to a single image-capture task. No more manual data entry, no more typos, and no more revenue gaps. AI-vision technology delivers point-of-use perfection, ensuring 100% item documentation and complete charge capture optimization in real-time. This timely recording facilitates total data integrity, a 95%+ clean claim rate, and a smoother, faster reimbursement cycle.

Join the worldwide success

Our charge capture rate was less than 60%, but if we include all the items we didn’t even attempt to reord, it would drop even lower… today our item capture average rate is above 90%, which benefits all areas of the business.

In bill-only workflows, items are often used without being known in advance — they’re not in the system, pricing is missing, and billing is delayed or incomplete. With Snap&Go’s camera-based charge capture, every item is documented at the point of care, and with the connection to the virtual SKU database, hospitals can assure all items are tracked.

I do believe there is a problem in the OR with correct documentation of products used. I believe AI can help with this problem and Snap and Go can make a difference. For example, instead of having to verify a product, having AI figure it out would save time for the hospital staff. I believe AI for operational decisions is something that will give your hospital an edge. Technology that saves time and makes OR staff jobs easier and more efficient like Snap and Go, should be in every OR.

You’ve got your OR financial revenue being done immediately, and what better way – instead of having a nurse typing that in one product at a time – they can place the item under the camera and see it zoom through the system. I see the benefit in reduced time spent manually inputting data into the EMR. Also, the quality of information – with every detail recorded. It leads to all utilization charges being in the computer and ready for submission, speeding up the billing process, as well as making sure reimbursement is maximized, so there will be an increase in financial revenue.
