Abstract

Operations in revenue cycle are reliant upon information technology’s (IT) ability to efficiently optimize Allegheny Health Network (AHN) systems for revenue cycle end users i.e., customers. Revenue cycle operations at AHN lacked an issue management tool and change management process. Leadership had to rely heavily on email to resolve problems and the lack of a formalized issue request system resulted in operational losses. Therefore, developing an issue management system that was well-integrated with IT became a priority. This study is relevant to public health because revenue cycle operations directly impact the operations of the healthcare organization, affecting its ability to deliver care. An efficient revenue cycle bridges the business and the clinical sides of healthcare, and affects a wide range of the front as well as back-end processes of care delivery.
