This case study session will focus on the organizational struggles related to collections, including the rapidly growing patient responsibility that has outpaced patients’ ability to pay. It will also look at the strategies, considerations, and lessons learned by Munson Healthcare as it transitioned to a new collection program. Attendees will have the opportunity to examine the pros and cons of various approaches and develop a personal “payment utopia” for their own organization. They will also examine the cultural and operational considerations of a technology-enabled workflow, review payment support and digital automation technologies being used by health systems, and identify different blends of new and traditional collection approaches.
