Hospitals are being forced to alter the way they interact with patients, and that includes how they bill and collect payments
Portland, ME (PRWEB) November 09, 2015
HIMSS has announced the agenda for their Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit, a stand-out event for financial decision makers in healthcare, which will be held in Atlanta on December 7 and 8, 2015. With consumerism rising, along with the seismic shift toward value-based care, healthcare organizations are facing a more competitive environment than ever before. HIMSS’ Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit will bring together academic researchers and leading payer and provider organizations to help illuminate the road forward, and to demonstrate the changes organizations must make to survive these transformative times.
“Hospitals are being forced to alter the way they interact with patients, and that includes how they bill and collect payments,” said John Whelan, executive vice president of HIMSS Media. “Staying the course simply isn’t an option. So we plan to analyze what’s viable now, and how organizations can go about implementing change to drive success and stability.”
The Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit will combine practical, solutions-driven case studies with leadership talks on how to align your organization behind your new financial strategy, tackling human and technical factors together in one unique two-day forum.
