PANEL: Strategic Revenue Cycle: Labor, Technology, and Tying it all Together

Wednesday, September 3, 1:00pm - 2:00pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Labor shortages in revenue cycle management (RCM) are becoming increasingly critical as hospitals face higher administrative demands, especially with the growing complexity of payer requirements, prior authorizations, and value-based care models. At the same time, automation and AI-driven tools offer potential solutions, but they come with their own challenges. Addressing these labor gaps and leveraging automation effectively is essential for hospitals to maintain operational efficiency, reduce denials, and optimize revenue streams.

This Session will Examine:

The Role of Automation: Automation tools, including robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI), have emerged as key solutions to alleviate labor shortages. However, questions remain about the limitations of automation in more nuanced areas of RCM, where human oversight and expertise are still required.
Redefining Human Roles in an Automated RCM Environment: As automation takes over routine tasks, the roles of human workers in RCM are shifting towards more strategic, analytical, and decision-making functions. Upskilling and retraining employees to thrive in this new environment is essential.
Improving Workplace Culture and Employee Satisfaction: A positive workplace culture is crucial for attracting and retaining revenue cycle professionals. Hospitals can address labor shortages by creating a supportive, inclusive, and flexible work environment that prioritizes employee well-being.
Strategic Hiring and Recruiting from Non-Traditional Talent Pools: With competition for experienced RCM professionals intensifying, hospitals need to broaden their talent pool by recruiting candidates from non-traditional backgrounds and industries.
