The Challenge
Spring Creek Surgical Center, an outpatient facility in Utah, performs an average of 85 procedures per month. They specialize in pediatric dental, podiatry, spine, and orthopaedics. Serving their community for almost five years, they take great pride in being a dependable and safe alternative to their local hospitals and offering outstanding care to patients and their families.
Brooke Hawes, Spring Creek’s Office Manager, was spending her mornings struggling to manually calculate accurate patient estimates. With no system in place to help, it was extremely labor and time intensive. After the estimate was put together, more time was spent trying to get in touch with the patients, reviewing the estimates with them, and answering their questions. Brooke’s other critical responsibilities around the facility took a backseat and typically weren’t addressed until well into the day.
The Solution
With the implementation of HST Clariti, the process for calculating patient estimates became streamlined and efficient. Spring Creek could now produce accurate financial estimates in just 15 minutes, compared to hours previously. This quick turnaround allowed for better communication with patients ahead of their procedures, minimizing surprises and enhancing patient satisfaction
We love HST Clariti and all that it does for our center. Our patients love how easy it is to view and understand their estimate. We recommend HST Clariti to anyone looking to improve their processes around patient estimation.

The Future
