Hospital Revenue Cycle Management conference set for Feb. 6-7 in San Diego

This post is sponsored by Opal Events.

Opal Events is announcing its new addition to its Conference Series: Hospital Revenue Cycle Management in the Era of “Affordable Care”: Practical Strategies for Embracing ACOs, ICD-10, EHRs, and More… Plus a Bulletproof Audit Prep Plan.

As more and more consumers move to Medicaid and Medicare to cover their medical needs, the debt burden of hospitals is increasing. Hospital Revenue Cycle departments are looking for ways to streamline their processes, increase accuracy, and cut spending to try and balance out the new costs. Additionally, new government mandates such as the new ICD-10 coding system, the introduction of ACOs and bundle payment programs, the new HIPAA 50-10 compliance, and the forthcoming Healthcare Reform are forcing these departments to revamp their systems and prepare for unpredictable changes in the future. All spectrums, from registration to audits, will be affected and influenced by these new mandates.

Join us for more than 14 panels, discussions and presentations of the most relevant, pertinent information to improving your revenue cycle; stimulating discussions on the roles and responsibilities in hospital management, as well as new and innovative technologies and strategies; and more than five hours of scheduled networking opportunities.

Keynote speakers include: Jon Langmead, Health Insurance Specialist, CMS; Ron Spingarn, Deputy Director, Healthcare Information Division, California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development; and Kenny Kwong, Manager, California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.

Topics of discussion will include: Bundle Payment Plans: Improving Outcomes and Cost Effectiveness, Optimize Your EHR: Best Practices, and Technology Roadmap for the Era of “Affordable Care.”

This conference has been researched and developed specifically for executives and managers at community hospitals, specialty hospitals and clinics.
