Epic Charge Capture Integration:
Securing OR Revenue Integrity and Reimbursement Accuracy

IDENTI’s Epic Charge Capture Integration bridges the gap between clinical usage and financial billing. By capturing data at the point of care and automating the flow into Epic Optime, we ensure that every implant, supply, and billable item is accurately recorded, validated, and reimbursed.

The Financial Impact of Fragmented Charge Capture

Operating room and procedural area revenue represents one of the highest concentrations of financial risk and opportunity within health systems. Due to the complexity, variability, and high-dollar nature of these environments, hospitals frequently experience revenue leakage and documentation gaps.

Common challenges include manual implant documentation, human error, bill-only inventory workflows, reliance on miscellaneous items and generic charge codes, inefficient barcode scanning processes, and limited real-time validation of supply usage.

Without automated charge capture integration, these vulnerabilities can result in missed charges, delayed billing, compliance exposure, and reduced revenue integrity.

Manual Data Entry

Nurses spend up to 20% of their time on documentation instead of patient care, leading to “documentation burnout” and increased error rates in the Revenue Cycle.

Missed HCPCS
and NDC Documentation

High-dollar implants require precise HCPCS and NDC data for claim approval. Manual gaps here are the leading cause of claim denials.

Revenue Leakage
via Temporary Codes

When item masters aren’t synced, staff use fallback codes. This delays billing, triggers audits, and often results in under-reimbursement.

How IDENTI Enhances Epic Without Replacing It

IDENTI does not replace Epic Optime. Epic Optime remains the hospital’s core EHR platform.
IDENTI strengthens Epic Optime by ensuring the data entering the system is complete, validated, and aligned with actual clinical usage.

✔ Usage is captured automatically at the point of use in real time
✔ Documentation is validated before charges flow downstream
✔ ERP, MMIS, and billing systems stay synchronized
✔ Revenue integrity teams gain visibility
✔ Audit risk is reduced

The integration complements Epic — it does not replace it.

Financial Outcomes of Epic Charge Capture Integration

Hospitals implementing automated Epic charge capture integration often experience measurable operational and financial improvements. By capturing and validating implant and supply usage at the point of care, organizations reduce missed implant charges, accelerate reconciliation cycles, and decrease the need for downstream billing corrections. Improved documentation accuracy also helps mitigate compliance exposure while strengthening visibility into operating room revenue performance. In addition, aligning supply chain data with revenue cycle workflows fosters better collaboration between clinical, financial, and operational teams. Because operating rooms represent one of the highest revenue-density environments within hospitals, even small documentation gaps can translate into meaningful financial impact over time.

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.

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.
