Optimizing Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management: Tools, Tips & Tactics You Must Know
Overview:
The healthcare industry is among the fastest growing and rapidly evolving industries today. With the proliferation of innovation in tools, technologies and platforms, processes like patient intake, payment collection and operational analytics are continual opportunities to drive higher performance for less cost. Coupled with these opportunities are challenges that must be mitigated in order to improve financial performance, particularly in terms of revenue cycle management. Although improved tools and technologies mean eased transactions, these also require new and costly investments.
The challenge for CFOs and revenue cycle leaders lies primarily on how to optimize the revenue cycle while making smart investments that maximize ROI.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders who will provide an in-depth analysis of the current trends to help CFOs and revenue cycle leaders optimize their revenue cycle management, in ways that drive significantly higher value than the initial investment. Speakers will offer significant tools, tips and tactics that can be effectively leveraged to drive higher healthcare revenue cycle management performance.
In a LIVE Webcast, the speakers will discuss:

- Increased market competition and a shift toward value-driven growth is fueling the rapid expansion of many employed physician groups. While there are financial advantages for larger groups, the complexities of physician revenue cycle management can often get in the way of realizing these benefits.
- Determining how to invest in your Physician Revenue Cycle can be challenging. The following initiatives will yield great returns for most medical groups
- Operating Model Evolution: Operational efficiency is critical for an effective revenue cycle, with no single model that is best for all. As a result, you must look at your physician group’s unique needs and goals, taking into account the revenue cycle operating model best positioned to support improvement
- The Charging and Coding Enterprise: Develop Charging and Coding as an organizational competency to ensure accurate capture of charges, and consistent and appropriate reimbursement. To do so, organize charging and coding functions into an end-to-end process with clear roles and goals.
- Take Denials Management to the Next Level: A strategy for triaging and handling denials once they occur is important but preventing denials rather than trying to rectify them is more time and cost efficient. Doing this is often easier said than done. We’ll cover key steps to truly advance your denials program.
