NFPRHA September Webinar

Relying on old skills and competencies is not a viable option in today's evolving health care environment. In this session, we will explore the administrative, clinical, and financial tools, skills and knowledge that health care organizations need to enhance sustainability and ensure proper positioning with payers and other stakeholders. Strategies for moving toward a team-based approach to enhance administrative excellence, improve quality outcomes, and drive financial performance will also be discussed.   

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the revenue cycle and staffing pattern needed to take full advantage of multi-payer billing under health care reform;
• Identify elements of care coordination necessary to secure payer contracts and effectively interact with other provider groups; and
• Develop a training plan to boost the capacity of your administrative, clinical and finance staff to maximize revenues and improve health outcomes.

Presenters: Warren Brodine, President, W. J. Brodine & Co. and Scott Morgan, Director, CohnReznick LLP

RAINN Day is an annual day of action to raise awareness and educate students about sexual violence on college campuses. Sponsored by Rape, Incest & Abuse National Network (RAINN), it is a grassroots program designed to empower college students to educate their peers about risk reduction and recovery resources on their campus. This year, RAINN Day is Thursday, September 25.

You can sign up as an individual, department, student organization, or campus resource center to create your own unique event. RAINN Day organizers can motivate their campuses to take a stand against sexual violence, and can make a difference on their campus through educational events, fundraisers, and peer empowerment activities.
