Trifecta of Triumph: The Master Link between Supply Chain & Revenue Cycle

Supply Chain initiatives have a direct impact on the healthcare institution’s ability to generate revenue, but in many cases the collaboration is nearly non-existent.  How do we bridge the gap between revenue cycle and supply chain to ensure a successful and coordinated effort?  Kelli McRory from Jefferson Health in Philadelphia provides a roadmap for engaging revenue cycle teammates in your organization.  The benefits of aligning supply chain and finance include improving the accuracy of charges, enhancing revenue capture and accelerating cycle times while also increasing supplier accountability.  Join us for this episode of Power Supply which should inspire you to join Kelli on her journey to establish a fully integrated supply chain model and achieve the “Trifecta of Triumph”!

For the Love of Statistics: Mining Data to Combat Cryptic Media Messaging

Mark Van Sumeren was concerned by what he was seeing and reading in the media during the early days of the pandemic and so he began to do his own research.  Motivated to counter the denial and fear mongering, he put his engineering background to use and began to collate information into a daily insights and a newsletter that he shared by email with a few close colleagues.  The response was positive and Mark’s passion project went viral.  The newsletter continues today, and has been recognized by the national media and absent of political bias due his fact-based approach.  Tune into this episode of Power Supply to listen to his story and subscribe to the free Vital Signs Newsletter by visiting healthindustryadvisor.com.
