Over the last seven years, many healthcare systems (hospitals and physician groups) across the country have seen significant growth through acquisition. Gaining market share through acquisition provides an immediate competitive advantage, however, this type of inorganic growth impacts revenue cycle, financial performance and the overall consumer experience.

In recent months, CFOs, Vice Presidents of Revenue Cycle, and Executive Directors have engaged RoundTable Strategic Solutions to develop a go-forward strategy to improve the financial viability and stability of their organization while identifying opportunities to enhance/optimize patient access and the overall consumer experience. Our proven approach provides clients with solutions that leverage operational re-design, reduce manual processes using information technology and create a sustainable model for growth within today’s healthcare delivery and rapidly changing reimbursement model.
