Practical Strategies for Embracing ACOs, ICD-10, EHRs, and More... Plus a Bulletproof Audit Prep Plan

As more and more consumers move to Medicaid and Medicare to cover their medical needs, the debt burden of hospitals is increasing. Hospital Revenue Cycle departments are looking for ways to streamline their processes, increase accuracy, and cut spending to try and balance out the new costs. Additionally, new government mandates such as the new ICD-10 coding system, the introduction of ACO's and bundle payment programs, the new HIPAA 50-10 compliance, and the forthcoming Healthcare Reform are forcing these departments to revamp their system and prepare for unpredictable changes in the future. All spectrums, from registration to audits, will be affected and influenced by these new mandates. 

The Hospital Revenue Cycle Management in the era of Affordable Care Conference will be the first to encompass the entire revenue cycle and prepare hospital decision makers for the future of the cycle, from Registration to Payment as it applies to future health care reform.
