Retrieve Medical Holdings Inc. announced a study showing a substantial increase in documented diagnoses using the Retrieve software. In this updated study, 10,542 patient charts were analyzed, and 12,506 additional comorbidities and diagnoses were identified using the Retrieve Dx software solution. With the simple push of a button, Retrieve Dx presents comorbidities to the physician's computer screen for validation and potential inclusion in the patient's record (if deemed necessary by the attending physician) for more complete medical documentation of the patient.

The significance of these results is two-fold. Firstly, an increased number of documented comorbidities (comorbidity capture rate) positively influences the Case Mix Index (CMI), a critical measure that reflects the complexity of cases treated at the institution. This index directly impacts reimbursement levels.

Secondly, Retrieve saw a substantial reduction in physician queries. These queries, which typically demand clinicians to revisit and revise patient records, have been a source of additional work, workflow disruptions, and contribute to physician burnout.
