Workshops

Zimmerman regularly conducts one-day informational workshops that provide CFOs and other Revenue Cycle Leaders with an overview of the research we have conducted on revenue cycle best practices.  The information presented in the workshop plays an integral part in allowing the attendee to formulate a strategy to maximize net revenue yield and to simultaneously increase patient satisfaction.  Attendance is by invitation only and is exclusive to hospital CFOs and Revenue Cycle Leaders.

If you are considering revenue cycle reform, on a large scale or on a smaller scale, or you are simply interested in learning what other hospitals are doing to achieve maximum revenue cycle performance, our executive workshops can help you identify and understand the best practice policies, processes, and strategies that may be available to you.

Please call 800-525-0133 between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm CST to learn more about the workshop schedule and receive answers to any questions you may have.
