Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering Case Study:

Revenue Cycle Cloud Modernization (Healthcare)

Innovate. Automate. Secure. Transform.

Context

A large healthcare organization faced operational inefficiencies within its revenue management and claims processing systems, which relied on outdated on-premises infrastructure. The system’s legacy architecture led to delays in claim validation, limited scalability, and poor interoperability with insurance data sources. To address these issues, the client aimed to migrate its revenue cycle platform to a modern, cloud-based architecture with embedded AI for smarter claim handling and compliance.

Challenge

The existing revenue management system struggled to support rapid claims growth, data standardization, and audit transparency.

Key challenges included:

  • High claim rejection rates due to manual validation and fragmented data flows.
  • Limited visibility across claims lifecycle and financial reporting.
  • High infrastructure maintenance costs and poor elasticity during peak processing periods.
  • Compliance risks due to outdated security and data-handling models.

SentinelX Approach

SentinelX Digital’s experts led the modernization of the client’s revenue cycle management system using Microsoft Azure’s serverless and AI capabilities.

Key delivery components included:

  • Migration of legacy workloads to Azure App Services, Azure Functions, and Logic Apps for event-driven automation.
  • Integration of Azure Machine Learning models to predict claim rejection patterns and automate resolution workflows.
  • Deployment of AI-powered data validation ensuring compliance with HIPAA and ICD-10 standards.
  • Design of a data lake architecture to unify financial and insurance datasets, enabling real-time reporting and analytics.
  • Implementation of Power BI dashboards for executive-level performance visibility.

Outcomes & Impact

  • 25% increase in revenue realization through faster claim processing and improved accuracy.
  • 15% reduction in claim rejections through AI-led validation and predictive flagging.
  • 50% improvement in operational throughput, reducing cycle time from weeks to days.
  • Enhanced compliance and traceability through automated audit logs and data governance.
