HomeTown Health recognizes 6 hospitals with RCM accreditation

Six hospitals were awarded 2016 RISAH accreditation at the end of HomeTown Health's "Rev Up Your Revenue Cycle" program, a program provided through the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Grant Program in cooperation with the State Office of Rural Health in Georgia and Florida.

The Revenue Integrity Standards and Accreditation for Healthcare aims to strengthen the revenue cycle knowledge base and practice of rural hospitals and to demonstrate commitment to continuous performance improvement by identifying best practice standards and methods of measurement, said HomeTown Health, a network of rural hospitals, healthcare providers and best practice business partners. The RISAH accreditation recognizes hospitals "who are dedicated to creating an efficient, profitable and compliant hospital revenue cycle."

Six hospitals successfully met the requirements for 2016 accreditation:

  • Crisp Regional Hospital (Cordele, Ga.)
  • Doctors Memorial (Bonifay, Fla.)
  • Madison (Fla.) County Memorial Hospital
  • Union General Hospital (Blairsville, Ga.)
  • Upson Regional Hospital (Thomaston, Ga.)
  • Warm Springs (Ga.) Medical Center

For hospitals that have yet to qualify for RISAH accreditation, HomeTown Health noted it is holding open enrollment for the 2017 session for organizations wishing to obtain RISAH accreditation.
