Overview
In this module, you learned about the internal and external revenue-cycle workflows, and how these are impacted by insurance plan requirements and regula�ons. You also read about
the opera�onal workflows within a healthcare revenue cycle.
This assignment will allow you to assess the impact of internal and external revenue-cycle workflows on strategic planning and financial management and iden�fy front-end, middle,
and back-end revenue-cycle processes within opera�onal workflows.
The assignment will help you prepare for sec�ons 3 (Healthcare Reimbursement), 4 (Revenue Cycle Process), and 5C (Technology and System Impacts) in the course project.
Direc�ons
Create an analysis report to assess an organiza�on’s internal workflows from the context of improving cash flow and financial strength. If you need wri�ng support, access the Online
Wri�ng Center through the Academic Support module of your course.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Pa�ent Registra�on: Analyze the significance of the steps in the opera�onal workflow for registering a pa�ent prior to a diagnos�c procedure. Consider the following ques�ons
to guide your response:
What is the significance of the pa�ent financial responsibility agreement?
When should the provider present an advance beneficiary no�fica�on of noncoverage to the beneficiary?
2. Errors Impac�ng Cash Flow: Analyze the revenue-cycle errors that may occur in internal and external workflows that can impact a healthcare organiza�on’s cash flow and
financial strength. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:
What errors can occur that will impact revenue integrity?
How do these errors affect the organiza�on’s cash flow?
3. Preven�on of Errors: Explain how the errors you described can be prevented. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:
What changes in the process will help prevent these errors?
What tools or systems can you use to prevent these errors?
4. Workflow Improvements: Recommend at least two workflow process improvements across the front-end, middle, and back-end revenue-cycle processes. These workflow
improvements must not be directly related to the error-preven�on recommenda�ons you provided. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:
What improvements can you recommend for internal processes?
What improvements can you recommend for external processes?
All the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your cita�ons should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the textbook or module resources) of credible
sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources, at least one of which should be separate from your own research. Refer to the IHP
630 Library Guide located in the Start Here sec�on of the course for addi�onal support.
