Overview
In this module, you learned how to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and boost revenue-cycle management in healthcare organiza�ons. You also explored how data analy�cs
can be leveraged to maintain a robust revenue cycle.
In this assignment, you will determine how KPIs support the strategic planning and financial performance of the revenue cycle.
This assignment will help you apply revenue-cycle principles to data analy�cs and evaluate the significance of KPIs in strategic planning and financial performance. From a healthcare
management perspec�ve, this assignment will help you explain the role of technology in managing the revenue cycle. This will help you prepare for sec�ons 2 (Strategic Planning), 3A
(Improvement Processes), and 4 (Revenue Cycle Process) in the course project.
Direc�ons
Create a short paper on how KPIs support the strategic planning and financial performance of the revenue cycle.
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. Key Performance Indicators: Explain the significance of at least six general key performance indicators (KPIs) from anywhere in the revenue cycle. Consider the following
ques�ons to guide your response:
Why are these KPIs significant?
How do these KPIs impact pa�ent experience?
2. Strategic Planning: Explain how the KPIs you selected support strategic planning. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:
What could be some examples of strategic decisions that these KPIs impact?
How would the KPIs guide the organiza�ons to develop price transparency tools for pa�ents?
3. Data Analysis: Describe how you can iden�fy opportuni�es for improving cash flow from an organiza�on’s financial data. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your
response:
How would you capture the data required for the analysis?
How would you restructure the revenue cycle workflows to accommodate opportuni�es to improve the cash flow?
4. Leveraging Technology: Explain how you can leverage technology to support opportuni�es for improving cash flow. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:
Which workflows in the revenue cycle would best accommodate technological changes?
What types of technological innova�ons should be considered for an improved performance of revenue-cycle opera�ons?
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
