When calculating a return on investment, the following things must be considered:

  • What costs are you seeking to control?
    • Uncompensated care?
    • Avoidable hospitalizations and readmissions?
    • Costs due to poor provider-patient communication?

  • How can you enhance revenue?
    • Qualify more patients for coverage?
    • Bring in more patients who have coverage?
    • Reduce loss to follow-up?
