Pop quiz: How many systems are involved in receiving a payment from your patients?
The answer might surprise you. As one CFO recently told us, “I had no idea we used this many payment systems.”
He’s not alone. The systems and processes involved often cross departments and geographies in a complex web that even the most experienced team members don’t fully understand.
Problem is, if we don’t fully understand the perspective our patients have on the processes we subject them to, we’re on shaky ground. Without a holistic view of—and commitment to—the effortless patient journey, even the smallest tweaks can cause major headaches for your patients, which lead to negative outcomes.
