Overview

In this module, you learned how to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and boost revenue-cycle management in healthcare organiza�ons. You also explored how data analy�cs

can be leveraged to maintain a robust revenue cycle.

In this assignment, you will determine how KPIs support the strategic planning and financial performance of the revenue cycle.

This assignment will help you apply revenue-cycle principles to data analy�cs and evaluate the significance of KPIs in strategic planning and financial performance. From a healthcare

management perspec�ve, this assignment will help you explain the role of technology in managing the revenue cycle. This will help you prepare for sec�ons 2 (Strategic Planning), 3A

(Improvement Processes), and 4 (Revenue Cycle Process) in the course project.
