01INTRODUCTION TO YIELD METHODOLOGYWhat if a more efficient and effective approach could smooth outRevenue Cycle operations, even make it predictable and deliversustained earned revenue improvement?In this eBook we share a proven and patented approach to a more predictable RevenueCycle. This approach includes and goes beyond improving financial indicators with smarteranalytics, training the team to look for leaks, adopting AI to automate workflows. It takesa combination of people, process and technology to deliver sustained earned revenueimprovement.In the pages to follow we will share a new approach to managing the Revenue Cycle calledYield Methodology. It has the power to unlock 2-6% of sustained yield improvementon expected net revenue.02TRADITIONAL REVENUE CYCLE ANALYTICSAdopting Yield Methodology starts with a new approach to analytics. Traditional revenue cycleanalysis is run across aggregated data based on days in A/R, denial ratios, net collectionscalculations, and adjustments. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are measured across claimsregardless of where they are in their individual reimbursement journey. As a result of thisapproach many opportunities lay hidden deep in the Revenue Cycle at an account level.Looking at aggregated and averaged data across the Revenue Cycle creates moreopportunities for “leaks” such as: DenialsSlow conversion to revenueOperational errors that lead to no paymentsIncorrect write-offsData inputs that impact traditional Revenue Cycle analytics include payer mix, patientvolumes, and charges. These variables fluctuate all the time and can impact an aggregatedview of the Revenue Cycle, clouding opportunities to collect.CURRANCE STYLE GUIDESEPTEMBER 2020 VER. 2 - SM3Download it free at https://www.1001fonts.com/clear-sans-font.html

03REV-CYCLE YIELD METHODOLOGYRev-Cycle Yield Methodology empowers organizations to recognize opportunitiesin the Revenue Cycle at an individual account level.Yield Methodology starts with an analytical approach of specific opportunities forcollection at an account level measured at regular time intervals.The first step in adopting a Revenue Cycle Yield Methodology is to quantify earnedrevenue at specific time intervals, such as 60, 90, and 120 days at an individualaccount level. By isolating revenue and productivity data more reliable KPIs can bemonitored and work queues managed accordingly.The yield approach revealsopportunities to fine-tune processes, increasevisibility with predictive analytics, and improveefficiency with AI-powered workflow automation.Improve Revenue Cycle efficiencyand predictability by trackingyield at specific time intervals.CURRANCE STYLE GUIDESEPTEMBER 2020 VER. 2 - SM5Download it free at https://www.1001fonts.com/clear-sans-font.html
