What Does It Take to Become a Revenue Cycle Executive?

By Sarah Sheber

Have you thought about moving into a revenue cycle executive position? The AHIMA22 pre-conference workshop “What Does it Take to Become a Revenue Cycle Executive?” offers an opportunity to learn from industry expert Rose Dunn, MBA, RHIA, CPA, FACHE, FAHIMA, chief operating officer at First Class Solutions, Inc. and a Distinguished Member AHIMA Triumph Award recipient.  

Today, the revenue cycle is quite different compared to the revenue cycle of even 10 years ago.

Gina Sanvik, MS, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, practice director, revenue cycle management, professional development and education at AHIMA, lists multiple reasons: “Today’s complex environment includes value-based care, risk adjustment, price transparency, telehealth, and financial and workforce challenges.” Add to that list rapidly evolving technology and automation of many revenue cycle processes.

The workshop will explore key components of the revenue cycle and give you the tools to comfortably discuss financial terms and metrics. Dunn will also discuss revenue integrity and how each function in the revenue cycle impacts profits and losses. The format of the workshop will encourage participatory discussion.

“Health information professionals play an important role in all areas of the revenue cycle—front, middle, and back,” Sanvik says. They are prime candidates to continue moving into revenue cycle functions and taking the lead in executive roles.
