Revenue Cycle Crisis Management: Coronavirus (COVID-19)

As the healthcare industry gears up to face the COVID 19 crisis, hospitals must ensure that their revenue cycle is up to the challenge. The incorporation of remote staffing, volume variability, payor mix changes, and cash flow interruptions have the potential to challenge the financial viability of every organization.
