ATLANTA, Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst
tightening reimbursement and increasing scrutiny from auditors,
healthcare organizations across the country are facing greater
financial pressure than ever before. In an effort to help meet
these challenges, Craneware, Inc., the market leader in automated
revenue integrity solutions, has launched The Revenue Integrity
Round Table blog. The blog, hosted at StoptheLeakage.com, is the
newest resource dedicated to the movement to prevent revenue
leakage in healthcare.
The Revenue Integrity Round Table blog is moderated by
Craneware's Chief Technology Officer and President Gordon Craig, and bolstered by contributions
from other notable industry thought leaders and guest bloggers. The
blog provides a venue for hospital revenue integrity experts to
share insights into financial success, offer practical advice and
tips on industry trends and provide first-hand accounts of
overcoming challenges on the frontlines of U.S. healthcare
organizations.
"Evolving regulations and healthcare reform make it more
important than ever for healthcare organizations to proactively
ensure the accuracy and defensibility of charges," said Craneware
CEO Keith Neilson. "We are proud to
support this online community and bring together leaders from
across the industry to share and expand their knowledge through
discussions related to best practices for ensuring revenue
integrity. In addition to providing hospitals with tools that help
them manage their revenue cycles, this blog is yet another way
Craneware advances its commitment to the financial success of U.S.
hospitals and health systems."
Craneware invites all those in healthcare and related fields to
visit StoptheLeakage.com and join the more than 200 members already
committed to the movement to prevent revenue leakage in healthcare.
New movement members receive a free welcome packet, which includes
a desktop revenue leakage sign and an exclusive white paper titled,
"The Top 5 Sources of Hospital Revenue Leakage." Movement members
also have access to a library of informative white papers and case
studies covering a variety of healthcare revenue topics ranging
from chargemaster management to RAC audit best practices, and
beyond.
Blog moderator Craig co-founded Craneware with Neilson in 1999,
and has helped the company become the leading provider of revenue
integrity software products for healthcare organizations. As
Craneware's CTO and President of U.S. Operations, Craig guides
Craneware's technological development, product strategy and leads
both Craneware Inc. and Craneware® InSight divisions. Craig and
Neilson co-developed the first effective chargemaster management
software for U.S. healthcare, and have since expanded their product
line to include Revenue Cycle, Access Management & Strategic
Pricing, Supply Management and Audit & Revenue Recovery
solutions.
One quarter of registered U.S. hospitals use Craneware Revenue
Integrity Solutions™. In 1999, Craneware introduced the industry's
