Measuring number of claims worked or measuring work effort & successful outcomes? What should healthcare executives focus on with RCM labor?

Give your RCM staff work/life balance by measuring effectiveness not productivity, establishing clear goals & incentivizing top performers, and tie it to a reward system that creates the recognition that this new generation of the workforce needs to have.

Telling the full story of revenue cycle effectiveness may mean that your staff must use more technology in their daily routines. But taking the extra steps to record tasks & outcomes with Effective Intelligence can achieve ROI within 60 days.

There is a misnomer that people, process, and technology are independent of each other. I often go to trade shows where vendors have great technology. They’re promising big results. But the provider organization doesn’t understand that they will likely have to make material changes to adopt that technology to get the results that are being promised.

On a given day, 80 to 90 percent of the active claims in A/R do not need to be touched, so why are billing representatives wasting time on them? Because there is no visibility into which claims need to be focused on to actually generate revenue.

High call volume, abandoned calls, staff shortage, & high wages could be preventing you from retaining patients, getting paid, keeping margin. Here are some points to consider when choosing a call center vendor.

When healthcare executives are shopping for technology to improve margin & collections, and reduce staff, don’t ask “How much does it cost?” Instead, evaluate the potential return on investment.

If your desired outcome is higher margin in your revenue cycle, but your actions aren’t aligned, you cannot achieve that outcome. The right technology & process guides the right people to success, therefore increasing your margin.
