Windham Brannon is an Atlanta-based tax, audit and advisory services firm. As part of the firm’s Revenue Cycle Consortium, GHA rural members will have access to revenue cycle experts; best-practice benchmarking, coaching and development of metrics; and help in action planning, the involved parties said in a news release.
“Rural hospitals are many times the only care option for residents living outside of the more populated metropolitan areas within our state, and, unfortunately, revenue cycle challenges have severely impacted many of these facilities to the point of shutdown,” said Bill Wylie, GHHS senior vice president of business operations. “Our participation in the Revenue Cycle Consortium gives our member hospitals another resource to help improve revenue cycle efficiency, which in turn is integral to increasing the strength of their financials.”
