The Wicked Tendencies of Revenue Cycle Management: Reimagining the Approach to Benchmarking KPIs Presented by Landon Tooke
As presented at HBMA's 2023 Fall Conference September 26th-28th, 2023.
Description:
A wicked problem is a complex and elusive challenge that defies easy definition and resists simple solutions. It is an inherently multifaceted issue with multiple stakeholders, perspectives, and underlying causes. A wicked problem is not just difficult. It is also often dynamic, meaning that it can change over time in response to external factors, new information, or shifting values.
This session explores revenue cycle management’s “wicked” tendencies and the challenges they create in measuring key performance and productivity indicators. The session will dismantle the comforts of “best practices” and reliance on published benchmarks. Instead, audience members will learn the importance of operationalizing the use of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. For fun, audience members will receive a list of KPIs and suggested benchmarks for use as a reference.
Objectives:
Course participants will be able to:
- Understand the challenges of measuring revenue cycle performance and productivity indicators
- Rethink the utility of “best practices” and benchmarking
- Reimagine their approach to analytics to achieve a more desirable result
