The purpose of the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and Physician Practice Management (PPM) assessments are to help participating hospital/clinic leadership teams with improving their Revenue Cycle and Physician Practice Management processes.

Some key strategic and environmental considerations underlying both analysis areas include:

  • Hospital financial challenges attributable to low inpatient (IP) admissions
  • Limited primary care alignment in local market
  • Implementation of a new electronic medical record (EMR) system 
  • 340B Drug Program, Home Health, and Swing Bed Operations

The attachments will provide a thorough overview of the RCM/PPM assessment process and anticipated time commitment for participating hospitals and clinics.
