  4. True or False? Processes supporting the Revenue Cycle are the result of evolution, not design? External requirements and changes are usually responded to by the addition of work-arounds and patches and not by fundamental process redesign? True The result is: • Non Standardization • Compliance Risk • Excessive Hand-off’s • Decreased Patient Satisfaction • Increased Cost • Untimely Data Capture

  5. True or False? Accountability for the Revenue Cycle are not usually fragmented and incentives are generally aligned with the health systems mission and financial goals? False The end-result is: • Sub-optimal financial outcomes and frustration among management and staff. • Difficulty changing behavior. • Management fails to focus on process and focuses on functional outcomes. • Responsibility and Authority are not vested in the same results.

  6. Performance Evaluation and Measurements The ability to monitor, assess, and improve Revenue Cycle performance relies upon the establishment of clear metrics and tools that define and COMMUNICATE performance expectations. Attributes of effective PERFORMANCE metrics are that they are: • Clearly Defined • Quantifiable • Accessible • Objective • Relevant to Desired Outcomes • Leading and Lagging • Cascading and Multi-Level
