Revenue360® Ranked High in Survey of Top Hospital RCM Vendors

Beaverton, Oregon (PRWEB) October 31, 2013

Revenue360® recently received high rankings in the 2013 Black Book Revenue Cycle Management Survey, in the category of top RCM vendors in hospitals over 250 beds.

Black Book surveyed 3,700 healthcare financial executives, administrators, and managers at 557 hospital and inpatient facilities to assess revenue cycle outcomes across 18 performance areas of operational excellence, in order to rank vendors by RCM product lines. Hospitals use Black Book’s report to identify the top 20 solution vendors in a category, and develop a short-list for RFPs when pursuing technology solutions.

About the motivation for the study, Doug Brown, managing partner, Black Book Rankings, explains, “Shifting payment models and regulations are forcing hospital leaders to redirect previously launched budgets, priorities and strategic plans to assess if new RCM solutions can rescue them from imminent hospital layoffs, even bankruptcies.”

“We’re pleased to rank so well as a hospital revenue cycle software solution. We have seen firsthand how revenue cycle management technology can really improve a hospital's cash flow” observes Edward L (Ted) Tomkins, President of Provider Advantage NW, Inc. — developers of the Revenue360 platform.

“It's equally exciting for us to see our partners, like QuadraMed - who support Revenue360 within their hospital information systems, make the top revenue cycle vendor list. By seamlessly integrating Revenue360 in the revenue cycle workflow, processes such as patient insurance and identity verification, and even out-of-pocket expense estimation deliver immediate ROI to hospitals of all sizes. There are significant changes coming with the Affordable Care Act. The ability to electronically interpret extensive data from health plans, hospital contracts and over 40,000 other data sources and provide on-the-fly intelligent guidance can help hospitals ease the impact of these changes on their bottom line.”
