Develop a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation with accompanying 10 to 20 minutes of audio targeted at educating new hires at a health care organization about the revenue-cycle process.

INTRODUCTION

The financial health of the health care organization depends upon its ability to generate consistent and recurring funds from the services it provides. Collectively referred to as the revenue cycle (RCM), critical stages in this process include:

• Patient registration.
• Collection of demographics and payor source.
• Rendering services.
• Documenting services.
• Establishing charges.
• Preparing the claim or bill.
• Submitting the claim.
• Receiving payment.
• Managing accounts receivable.

Decreasing payment delays and lost revenues is a point of interest for many health care managers tasked with oversight of the RCM process. Innovative approaches in technology have assisted with streamlining the RCM process and allowed for automation of many processes, resulting in expedited processing and quick remittance.Managed care dollars represent a significant portion of all health care organizations’ reimbursements. As a result, health care organizations seek to establish contracts with large managed care organizations (MCOs). Negotiating and securing contracts with MCOs is important for several reasons, including preserving revenues, enhancing patient satisfaction, and generating additional sources of revenue.All contracts will contain language outlining the administration of the contract along with the payment schedule. While the payment schedule may be seen as the most important element, the terms outlined within the contract are equally as vital to the financial success of the organization.This assessment focuses on the revenue cycle and how technological innovations have impacted reimbursement for health care organizations. You will take on the role of a patient access supervisor. One of your job functions entails educating new hires on the revenue cycle process.

You have studied Donabedian’s structure-process-outcome (S-P-O) model (Kelly, 2017) of healthcare quality in your textbook readings. Based on your reading, respond to the following:

• Analyze and evaluate how quality is defined, measured, and reported with regards to the S-P-O model.
• What structural characteristics of the S-P-O model do you think are necessary in creating an effective and efficient process? Why?
• Does evidence-based medicine play a role in the S-P-O model and quality outcomes of care? Justify using examples.
