Included in this Learning Moment are two sessions:

Embracing a Better RCM Model 

Operational margin has moved center stage in terms of priorities for today’s orthopedic practices. Future success hinges on the ability to maximize revenue capture amid severe billing staff shortages and increased patient financial responsibility. Consequently, revenue cycle models must become more “effective” in terms of workflow and oversight. Yet, embracing RCM models built on effective intelligence requires access to deeper insights than EHRs and practice management systems can provide. To overcome this challenge, Washington-based Rebound Orthopedics—the 75-provider group that services the Portland Trail Blazers and Portland Winterhawks—deployed an infrastructure that brings together data from multiple sources to help existing staff execute tasks more effectively. Today the practice is reaping the benefits of having real-time visibility into the effectiveness and bottom-line impact of each revenue cycle team member. This presentation will explore how Rebound Orthopedics laid the needed foundation for realizing better bottom-line performance with fewer FTEs.

Identifying Growth Opportunities

Growth can be a delicate business. As surgery centers strive to identify new growth opportunities, it’s essential to review current business processes to develop fresh insights for long-term success. This session will address the following topics: - Current changes in ASC rules and regulations that impact potential growth opportunities. - Forward thinking revenue cycle metrics to review for ASC growth. - Common revenue cycle pitfalls and how to avoid them with tools and tactics to build better outcomes. - Insights shared via case study of an ASC with a strong orthopedic background.
