Assess the current state of health revenue cycle against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Managing the Health Revenue Cycle from Billing to Collection
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to health revenue cycle.
Course Overview
Clinical staff will work around a process for health revenue cycle that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Variation in the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Participants apply the health and pharmaceutical services capability to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. Comparative studies of health revenue cycle across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants who influence this area of health and pharmaceutical services without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services and the judgement to adapt it. Improvement in health revenue cycle stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this part of health and pharmaceutical services has actually achieved. The final module sets out how progress on the health and pharmaceutical services capability will be evidenced six months later.
