The RCM Bootcamp was very informative. The information provided validated both things we are doing and requests we have made to the CEO regarding staffing and implementation of processes. Confirmation that you are doing the right things and that your processes, goals and strategic plans align with industry best practice standards gives credibility and brings value to the employees who work hard every day.

I had some good take-a-ways from our discussion. I especially liked the benchmarks presented by Darya and the reminder about understanding our hospital’s RCM staffing is so crucial.
