ATLANTA, Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As 73% of all
registered hospitals in the U.S. are community hospitals having 300
beds or less, collectively these hospitals account for the largest
sector of the U.S. healthcare system. Providing well-located access
to emergency and medical care, the role of community hospitals is
vital to the wellbeing of Americans. To sustain community
healthcare with quality physicians and equipment, community
hospitals must ensure solid financial performance, compliance and
operational efficiency. In support of community hospital leaders'
initiatives to achieve these requirements, Craneware, Inc., the
market leader in automated revenue integrity solutions, announced
today its sponsorship of the 2011 Community Hospital 100 Executive
Management Conference, to be held October
23-25, 2011 at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
As a gathering of some of the nation's most ground-breaking,
senior-level, community hospital executives, The Community Hospital
100 Executive Management Conference provides a venue for industry
thought leaders to collaborate toward strengthening a sector of
healthcare that is often considered to be the foundation of the
national healthcare system. Limited to 100 community hospitals with
300 or fewer beds, this year's conference agenda will consist of
educational sessions, roundtables and workshops with a focus
on closing the divide between current challenges and the expected
clinical and payment models of the future.
Craneware provides healthcare organizations of all sizes,
including community hospitals, with automated revenue integrity
solutions that have consistently proven to be essential tools for
hospitals' achievement of better financial performance, operational
efficiency and minimized compliance risk. In recognition of the
support that the Community Hospital 100 provides community
hospitals across the country, Craneware has elected to become a
"leadership level" sponsor of the organization's Executive
Management Conference.
"It is astounding what can be accomplished when passionate
industry leaders of this caliber come together to work toward a
unified goal of improving community hospital operations," said
Craneware CEO, Keith Neilson.
"Craneware is proud to support the efforts of the Community
Hospital 100 to help advance this category of healthcare
organizations that are essential in meeting the clinical needs of
millions of Americans."
