How we help…
A critical access hospital faces unique challenges, from staffing to reimbursement to economies of scale. Your personnel wear multiple hats, including within your revenue cycle, where the person responsible for managing your chargemaster might also responsible for managing your cafeteria.
The issues of recruitment, low patient volume, limited purchasing power and a tight IT budget make it vital that you keep track of your every dollar. As Desiree Einsweiler, CEO of Palo Alto County Health System said in a recent interview, “Every year we have to deal with larger reimbursement cuts and are hanging on the edge of our seats wondering what kind of cuts we will see from Medicare and Medicaid.” 3
