SunStone Consulting has partnered with VisiQuate for advanced revenue cycle analytics to help the firm accelerate client return on investment (ROI). SunStone Consulting partners with healthcare providers across the country to streamline and optimize all aspects of their reimbursement, regulatory, and revenue cycle through strategic solutions. SunStone Consulting and VisiQuate have a shared healthcare client base that strives to drive financial and operational efficiencies within their organizations with a data-driven and proactive approach.
"2022 was a particularly brutal year financially for health care providers. 88% of hospitals were operating at a net loss last year, so the timing of this partnership makes perfect sense," said Greg St. Clair, SunStone Consulting Founder and Managing Principal. "Just like VisiQuate, we want to drive immediate value and ROI for our clients, we share the same client service philosophy, and we have worked together on client projects for over a decade. Leveraging VisiQuate's advanced revenue cycle analytics will help us get there faster. SunStone will take advantage of VisiQuate's platform to help our clients conduct proactive diagnostic reviews. This will be a big benefit in areas like uncovering retrospective revenue opportunities and finding prospective process improvement to mitigate denials."
VisiQuate co-founder JK Kolmansberger said: "Greg and I have been talking for some time about the shared value that our partnership would bring to the healthcare provider community that we both serve. Making smarter, data-driven decisions, supported by advanced analytics to work smarter in revenue cycle operations is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity, to ensure financial success going forward. Investing in technology and accompanying services that have a guaranteed ROI is an initiative that our clients demand. We look forward to sharing combined success stories in the short term."

Enhabit, Inc. a leading home health and hospice provider, announced it has been awarded the Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification from Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP). Enhabit is the first home health provider to receive the CHAP certification for its home health agencies in Petersburg, Virginia, and Clermont, Florida.
The CHAP certification program brings Age-Friendly Health Systems, an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA), to home health and hospice settings. The movement has been shown to reduce cost of care, improve clinical retention and satisfaction, and improve patient outcomes.
“We are proud to be at the forefront of bringing the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement to home-based care,” Enhabit Executive Vice President of Clinical Excellence and Strategy Bud Langham said. “While we’ve always focused on delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care, this movement provides a clear framework on how to incorporate these elements into our standards of care in a way that benefits our patients, clinicians, referral sources and payors.”
CHAP certification demonstrates that Enhabit meets the industry’s highest nationally recognized standards for age-friendly care. The rigorous evaluation by CHAP focuses on providing a set of four evidence-based elements established by the Age-Friendly Health System movement known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility.
“Enhabit has played an instrumental role in helping us bring the 4M Framework to the home setting,” CHAP Chief Operating Officer Teresa Harbour said. “As part of our Volunteer Advisory Group, the Enhabit team helped us develop the certification program along with educational tools and resources. We look forward to continuing to work together to ensure older adults receive care that focuses on what matters to them.”
