IHP 630 Module Six Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In this module, you learned about the internal and external revenue-cycle work�ows, and how these are impacted by insurance plan requirements and regulations. You also read about the

operational work�ows within a healthcare revenue cycle.

This assignment will allow you to assess the impact of internal and external revenue-cycle work�ows on strategic planning and �nancial management and identify front-end, middle, and back-

end revenue-cycle processes within operational work�ows.

The assignment will help you prepare for sections 4 (Healthcare Reimbursement), 5 (Revenue-Cycle Process), and 6C (Technology and System Impacts) in the course project.

Directions

Create an analysis report to assess an organization’s internal work�ows from the context of improving cash �ow and �nancial strength. If you need writing support, access the Online Writing

Center through the Academic Support module of your course.

Speci�cally, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Patient Registration: Analyze the signi�cance of the steps in the operational work�ow for registering a patient prior to a diagnostic procedure. Consider the following questions to guide

your response:

What is the signi�cance of the patient �nancial responsibility agreement?

When should the provider present an advance bene�ciary noti�cation of noncoverage to the bene�ciary?

2. Errors Impacting Cash Flow: Analyze the revenue-cycle errors that may occur in internal and external work�ows that can impact a healthcare organization’s cash �ow and �nancial

strength. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What errors can occur that will impact revenue integrity?

How do these errors affect the organization’s cash �ow?

3. Prevention of Errors: Explain how the errors you described can be prevented. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What changes in the process will help prevent these errors?

What tools or systems can you use to prevent these errors?

4. Work�ow Improvements: Recommend at least two work�ow process improvements across the front-end, middle, and back-end revenue-cycle processes. These work�ow improvements

must not be directly related to the error-prevention recommendations you provided. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What improvements can you recommend for internal processes?
