Four Financial Levers

Where the dollars actually come from.

Patient experience is a nice outcome. But a CFO's job is to keep the lights on. Here are four measurable, P&L-connected lines of return.

  • LWBS / AMA reduction

    30–50% ↓

    Reduction in ER leave rate across Vital customers

    Every ER patient who leaves in frustration is a $2,000 visit out the door and $250 in lost contribution margin. Vital sets accurate wait expectations and guides patients through the visit before they bail.

  • Readmission reduction

    10% ↓

    Readmission reduction (inpatient)

    Patients who leave your ER early are 2–4x more likely to be readmitted — a 28% readmission rate vs. a 13.9% national average. Each excess readmission costs your system ~$15,200 on average.

  • Increased follow-up adherence

    25–40% ↑

    Lift in follow-up visit adherence

    Your ER is too busy to schedule follow-ups during care. Vital fills that gap — increasing follow-up adherence by 25–40%. More PCP and specialist visits retained in-network means more captured revenue.

  • Downstream leakage prevention

    $36M

    Downstream revenue at two Dignity Health hospitals

    Those “saved” specialty patients stay in your health system. Dignity Health generated $36M in billing from just two Phoenix hospitals.

Step 2

Co-build the ROI model

Your finance team and ours share a working model. Every assumption is editable. Every dollar maps to a GL account you already use.

Step 3
