What is NPOS and how is it related to everything we do at MedLearn? NPOS is Non-Patient Outcome Spending. It is our task to slow, halt and reduce it in our customers’ operations. We want to help healthcare teams fight NPOS because there is so much money spent for non-patient reasons that quality of care is put at risk for our ourselves, families, and friends. The administrative burdens and all the other NPOS that our customers are on the hook for leaves them vulnerable – just look at the pressure that COVID and the recent staffing shortages have put on hospitals, especially those in rural areas. Every day hospitals and other care facilities are spending too much money on burdens that have nothing to do with the care of the sick, be it denials or other compliance risks; lost charges due to coding changes or errors; hiring NPOS staff where better training of existing staff would suffice; frontline staff (doctors, nurses, etc.) burnout and scarcity; legislation-based operational inefficiency; disruptive audits and post-audit remediation; supply chain shortages; ransomware attacks, or ageing systems and other technology issues.. There is a better way, and MedLearn’ s educational materials, webcasts, podcasts and the knowledge of all of our SMEs can help to usher in that promising tomorrow for healthcare, where patient outcome spending is 90-95% of our customer’s budgeting.

We cannot achieve that alone, though. MedLearn is entering into partnerships that will form a unified front against NPOS – in the fields of technology, staffing, inventory management, coding, compliance, and legislation we are gaining new allies every week. And we at MedLearn will always fight NPOS, to ensure that our customers have the money to spend on the best patient care possible.
