Drive improvement in revenue cycle by selecting and tracking metrics that push an organization to exceed, not simply hit, expectations.
Theresa Brandon, Managing Director, Novia Strategies: Reevaluate current or long time metrics to determine if they are still appropriate and meaningful. If performance has historically been meeting or exceeding expectations, it may be time to challenge your organization to focus on a different metric. Choose succinct, replicable and timely data with which to measure improvement opportunities. Establish accountability and require action plans when progress lags.
