Accuity Appoints Hannah Hartung as Chief Operating Officer

Accuity, a leader in AI-driven clinical revenue integrity solutions, has announced the appointment of Hannah Hartung as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). With a rich background in healthcare operations and over a decade of experience in managed care and clinical operations, Hartung is set to lead the company's operational strategy and execution across its delivery functions. This move comes as Accuity aims to strengthen its partnerships with health systems nationwide and drive scalable performance.

A Proven Leader in Healthcare

Hartung joins Accuity from Centene Corporation, where she held the position of Vice President of Population Health Clinical Operations for Medicare and Duals programs. Her career reflects a steadfast commitment to advancing healthcare delivery through operational excellence. Prior to her tenure at Centene, she served in key roles at Evolent Health as the Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations, as well as at Magellan Health, where she progressed from Clinical Operations Manager to Vice President over several years.

Throughout her career, Hartung has focused on various critical areas, including utilization management, care management, and large-scale operational transformations. Her diverse experience will be invaluable in enhancing Accuity’s operational infrastructure to support its ongoing expansion.

Driving Clinical Revenue Integrity

As COO, Hartung will be tasked with optimizing Accuity’s operational framework to bolster its AI-driven model, which combines a physician-governed AI engine with expert physician and coding reviews. The primary goal is to help hospitals maximize their revenue capture while ensuring that clinical accuracy remains at the forefront.

Todd Van Meter, the CEO of Accuity, expressed confidence in Hartung's leadership, stating, "Hannah started her career treating patients, and that clinical lens has shaped how she approaches operations at every level since." Her ability to grow a team while preserving its core strengths is exactly what Accuity needs as it navigates its current growth phase.

A Strong Foundation

Hartung, who initially trained as a physical therapist, carries a unique perspective that blends clinical expertise with operational discipline. She holds a doctorate in physical therapy and has continuously applied her clinical knowledge to enhance healthcare operations effectively. "Accuity's model works because it brings clinical expertise and operational discipline together in a way that most organizations only claim to," she emphasized. This approach ensures that Accuity can continue delivering high-quality service to its health system partners while scaling up its operations.

What’s Next for Accuity?

Under Hartung's leadership, Accuity is poised to enhance its capabilities significantly. The firm utilizes proprietary technology called Amplifi AI, which, when integrated with insights from physician, coding, and revenue cycle experts, thoroughly reviews every inpatient chart before billing.

This innovative hybrid approach helps address documentation gaps and capture clinically driven coding opportunities that ultimately ensure compliance and reflect true clinical realities. Accuity's model has proven effective, yielding an average of $4 to $6 million in additional revenue per 10,000 discharges while improving key patient quality metrics, including Case Mix Index and Severity of Illness/Risk of Mortality.

Accuity is committed to delivering clinical clarity today while building a foundation for financial resilience in the future. As they welcome Hartung aboard, the company reaffirms its intent to remain at the forefront of healthcare innovation and operational excellence.
