Book excerpt: The Revenue Integrity Training Toolkit Elizabeth Lamkin, MHA, ACHE The revenue cycle in a hospital or health system is a continuum, and each department and role within the cycle has to work in unison to be successful. Due to the nature of today's healthcare environment some staff may not even realize that they're part of the revenue cycle. If there's a weak link, the entire system can quickly be in trouble due to issues with compliance, reimbursement, and, ultimately, patient care. This handbook will help get everyone, from billers to clinicians, on the same page improving systemic information flow and feedback loops. This toolkit comes with five handbooks that you can give to members of the revenue cycle. Bulk pricing for these handbooks is also available.
