Healthcare Revenue Cycle Identified is a Strategic Driver in Framing the Patient Journey


The Beryl Institute, in collaboration with Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), releases findings on how revenue cycle can and should contribute to the holistic patient experience. The Role of Revenue Cycle in Elevating the Human Experience in Healthcare explores how revenue cycle plays an integral role in a person’s experience well before and after a clinical engagement.

The white paper reinforces the significant idea that if we are to ensure the best in experience, we must recognize and act to support every factor that impacts outcomes. Revenue cycle is far more than an operational function; it is a strategic driver that frames the patient journey, as it is typically the first impression and last touchpoint with a healthcare organization.

The white paper, sponsored by Health Prime International, shares insights from contributors across the U.S. on approaching revenue cycle in a way that shifts the mindset of consumers from billing and collections to one of support, advocacy and partnership.

Contributors reinforced a clear alignment regardless of organization size or focus, leader role or accountability and highlighted three key strategic considerations in leading forward:

  • Establish and build revenue cycles from a foundation of partnership, integral to developing trust and loyalty
  • Make the complex simple and accessible, ensuring transparency and easy access to information where and when patients want and need it
  • Commit to a focus on advocacy, bridging financial experience and patient experience

Now more than ever, people are asking questions about the price of healthcare,” said Todd Nelson, Chief Partnership Executive, HFMA. “They are called on to make more decisions and pay more out-of-pocket for the services they receive. And they increasingly expect a financial experience that is on par with their other consumer experiences.”
