As hospitals enter 2026, the pressures on clinical revenue cycle teams are more acute than ever. Persistent staffing shortages, rising denial rates, and increasing compliance scrutiny are converging at a moment when organizations must safeguard financial strength without compromising patient care. Manual workflows cannot keep pace.
Intelligent automation, purpose-built for Utilization Management (UM), Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI), and revenue cycle operations, are no longer optional. It is essential. Certus Radar integrates advanced automation with physician-led advisory and analytics to deliver a high-performance, modernized clinical revenue cycle.
Below are three reasons your organization needs automation in 2026 and why Certus Radar provides the advantage hospitals need.
1. Automation Fills Persistent Staffing Gaps and Boosts Efficiency
Labor shortages continue across case management, UM, and CDI. Turnover disrupts productivity and increases variability in clinical revenue cycle processes.
Certus Radar addresses these issues by:
- Identifying and executing high-volume, rules-based clinical reviews instantly
- Prioritizing cases that require Physician Advisor intervention
- Reducing manual administrative tasks so staff can focus on higher-value work
Because Certus Radar is backed by Brundage Group’s expert Physician Advisors, hospitals achieve efficiency, increased accuracy, and stable operations—even with leaner teams.
2. Automation Reduces Denials and Strengthens Compliance Before Claims Go Out the Door
Denial complexity continues to accelerate. Manual processes introduce inconsistencies that increase both financial and compliance risk.
Certus Radar reduces this exposure by:
- Standardizing clinical review workflows
- Flagging documentation gaps in real time
- Applying evidence-based criteria with reliable consistency
- Ensuring every case receives the appropriate level of review
Paired with Brundage Group’s analytics and physician-led reviews, Certus Radar helps hospitals reduce avoidable denials, protect compliance, and reinforce revenue integrity.
3. Automation Delivers Real-Time Visibility to Empower Confident Leadership Decisions
Leaders need real-time visibility into clinical, operational, and financial performance—not retrospective reporting.
Certus Radar delivers this clarity through integrated analytics that highlight:
- Case mix and inpatient ratio
- Denial patterns and underlying drivers
- Length-of-stay implications
- Documentation accuracy and query opportunities
- Sources of preventable revenue leakage
When automation, analytics, and advisory expertise operate in unison, hospitals gain the operational clarity and financial strength required for long-term resilience.
