HOSPITAL UTILISATION MANAGEMENT (HUM)
Pre-Authorisation
The MSO process begins with pre-authorisation of all hospital admissions and high-cost out patient cases. The managed care call centre is manned by qualified, registered nurses that follow specifically designed protocols and guidelines to apportion the appropriate level of hospital resources in relation to the clinical needs of the patient and monitor the quality and cost of care provided for all hospital admissions.
Case Management
The case management process commences on admission to hospital for all major admissions. All MSO case managers are registered nurses (ICU trained), with many years’ experience. The case manager monitors the pre-authorisation budget for the duration of the hospital stay. MSO provides on-site case management to all the major hospitals across South Africa and can arrange similar through partners in many African countries.
PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGEMENT (PBM)
MSO uses Pharmaceutical Benefit Management technology to manage medicine benefits on behalf of healthcare funders. Using advanced medicine claims and clinical technology, MSO reduces pharmaceutical non-healthcare and healthcare costs. It allows sophisticated, real-time, automated, drug utilisation evaluation (DUE). This technology opens new doors to manage particularly acute medicine expenditure. The PBM Service is available in South Africa presently.
