Revenue Cycle Turnaround: Rebuilding for an Advanced ROI – A Case Study

 

Whether reviewing a hospital or employed physician network (EPN), the devil is in the details when examining the health of the Revenue Cycle (RC) ecosystem. Sometimes figures and reports don’t tell the entire story. What may appear as a sound measurement of days in accounts receivable (AR) (e.g., 30 days) can actually mask systemic problems in processes and procedures. If data reported are inaccurate, miscalculated, or outright corrupt, leadership may not discover the issues until revenue wanes.

 

In this paper, we use a real-world case study to illustrate the signs of an in-danger RC that can be overlooked. Further, we explain how Coker helped one organization turn around its Patient Accounting System resulting in a 14 to 1 return on investment (ROI). We will review the health system’s situation to show their struggle with their RC as a newly-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) questioned why things were not moving ahead smoothly for the several-hundred provider organization.
