Gallion’s iHarbor cloud platform improved bill-only transactions, which were previously done manually at the health system. It was implemented in 2021 and has been deployed across UMM’s 11 hospitals.

Completion time using the automated system was reduced 75% and the error rate was lowered from 18% to 3%.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
