AI, Analytics, and Automation-enabled Solutions Enhancing Transformative Potential of Healthcare RCM
Healthcare challenges such as workforce shortages, decline in revenue and operating margins, patient payment collection issues, complex claims compliance requirements, and increased patient expectations for seamless experience are compelling healthcare providers to rethink their revenue cycle management (RCM) approach. Providers are realizing the importance of a robust RCM strategy to address revenue and margin challenges. Improving turnaround time from service to payment is a key focus of RCM strategies.
Effective and efficient payer-provider coordination will be a competitive advantage for providers. Growing shift toward value-based care, process-specific inefficiencies such as the need for a digital front door, error-prone coding and documentation, and poor denial management drive the demand for technology-driven RCM solutions. Healthcare leaders consider RCM a top healthcare IT strategy, highlighting their appetite for new technology adoption. Intelligent technologies such as conversational AI, Generative AI, and automation will spur the transformational growth of the RCM market.
