New task force aims to revamp revenue cycle with a 'patient-centric' focus.

The Revenue Cycle Management Task Force of the Heathcare Information and Management Systems Society is addressing the next generation of revenue cycle management processes and tools. Payers, providers, vendors, and consultants are involved. Front-end processes such as patient access, business analytics, and point-of-service collections are a key focus. Patient access will need new technology or updated legacy systems. Patients will be able to manage their care with a single portal.
