Amerinet Economic Solutions Series Focuses on Revenue Cycle Efficiencies
ST. LOUIS-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Amerinet, a leading healthcare group purchasing organization is highlighting strategies to enhance the revenue cycle as part of its continuing Economic Solutions series, an initiative focused on keeping members proactively engaged with current economic challenges and healthcare reform issues.
“The resources available through Amerinet Economic Solutions include audioconferences, as well as educational and informational offerings,” said Todd Ebert, Amerinet president and CEO. “We also link members with existing tools and industry experts which can provide support and guidance.”
Amerinet’s market-leading Financial Management Solutions deliver as much as a 5 percent increase in cash collections by enabling healthcare providers to identify and implement margin improvement initiatives in each phase of patient interaction. Providers use our tools to increase net revenue, increase net collection percentage, reduce the cost of collections and make cash flow more predictable. They include the Amerinet Alliance for Financial Efficiency – a partnership with industry leaders Craneware and Perot Systems – built to optimize financial performance and improve revenue cycle management.
Amerinet is also presenting a free Webinar – Reimbursement Train on Track – Optimizing the CDM to Avoid Revenue Cycle Caution Flags, on October 6, 2009, from 2:15 – 3:45 p.m. EDT. Kelley Blair, vice president of professional services for Craneware, Inc. and Linda Corley, corporate compliance officer and learning and development leader for Perot Systems, will identify and provide realistic solutions for revenue cycle “caution” and “stop” signals that slow and even prohibit appropriate hospital reimbursement.
Amerinet’s Economic Solutions will focus on topics including workforce initiatives, the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, “pay for performance,” challenges of accessing capital and fundraising, containing price increases and physician preference.
The first issue in the series focused on the educational and contracted resources Amerinet has available to assist facilities in taking advantage of healthcare information technology stimulus funds. It featured the Webinar The EMR Value Assessment™ Preparing for the HIT Stimulus Package by national IT strategist Pam Arlotto. The second session highlighted supply chain efficiencies, with a Webinar on Leveraging the Efficiencies of Your Supply Chain by Vicki Smith-Daniels.
The free Webinars featured in the series are available through the Learning on Demand feature of Inquisit, Amerinet’s strategic education partner, at www.inquisit.org, under the Economic Solutions Education Series tab.
