ORHub Announces Expansion of Core Platform To Improve Reimbursement for Providers

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ORHub, Inc. (OTCQB: ORHB) (the "Company" or "ORHub"), a HIPAA compliant, physician-driven digital software company focused on improving profitability and the cost effectiveness of hospitals through real-time smart data and analytics, today announces the expansion of its core platform capabilities with new products coming to market that improve the way Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are used at hospitals to control costs through more accurate reimbursement and SMART^TM Scanning documentation system to free nurse time per surgical case. 

"Our internal research indicates that our taxonomy approach to optimizing reimbursement and our proprietary scanning and parsing technology resolve chronic surgical problems by uncovering missed revenue opportunities and capturing time savings that could result in millions of dollars of efficiencies that can be recovered per hospital," said Colt Melby, Chief Executive Officer of ORHub. "We are excited to scale our modules to market in the next quarter and will continue to work with our clients to provide breakthrough technological solutions that align with value-based healthcare."     

CPT codes are used to accurately identify the service performed and the assignment of a specific code requires adequate documentation that matches with the code definition. Documentation that is incomplete, vague or lacking certain required components of the CPT code definition may result in medical services that are not reportable for reimbursement and quality measures.

ORHub's core platform has provided unique and transparent insights into what actually happens in a surgical case, which allows hospitals to both increase their operating efficiencies while realizing more efficient reimbursement. The current industry standard for analytics today is grouping case durations, costs and outcomes by CPT codes. However, CPT codes lack the granularity of information for a surgeon to support a change in practice or for an administrator to identify meaningful variances in care in order to take effective action. We believe ORHub has resolved this problem by developing a taxonomic application that allows more accurate and intelligent CPT coding and aligns with CMS' value-based reforms including the Patients over Paperwork initiative.

ORHub's SMART^TM Scanning module is an intuitive and automated materials documentation system that according to our internal research may save up to ten minutes of nurse time per surgery. Surgical teams now have the necessary materials documented in the operating room to support the care teams' focus on patient care.     

About ORHub, Inc.
ORHub is an advanced surgical software provider focused on real-time surgical data analytics. The Company's suite of products serves the needs of the health care industry, hospital, patient, government and the medical device vendor. ORHub provides a cloud-based software solution that captures information before, during and after surgery, filling a void in the current surgical information infrastructure and providing the first process to capture and measure the surgical process -- evolving Big Data into Intelligent Digital Data. ORHub's software applications allow hospitals and medical device vendors to utilize any web-enabled device to create an anatomical graphic depiction of exactly what occurs during surgery. The application automatically translates the resulting schematic into an intelligent, electronic operative report that links every detail of surgery, including implant location, surgical techniques, product usage, and all clinical parameters to create a dynamically new source of comparative information.

As a result, hospitals and surgeons can make real-time, data driven decisions to improve business profitability and the quality of patient care. This innovative technology results in hospitals understanding costs and identifying areas of cost reductions, as well as results in increased accountability, automatic creation of comprehensive anatomic implant registries, real-time analytics, improved efficiencies, and compliance with existing government regulations. ORHub has offices in Tempe, Arizona; Newport and Laguna Beach, California; Bellevue, Washington; and Jacksonville, Florida.
