Background Compensation Models: 1) Revenue model: the physician is paid based on actual revenue generation; 2) Net income model: in comparison to revenue model, this model also considers costs. Thus, the physician is paid based on revenue generation and the costs incurred by physician; 3) Base salary plus productivity model: under the model, the physician receives base salary and additional compensation based on chosen productivity measure (revenue or net income). 4) Multiple factor performance model: the physician is paid based on financial and non-financial measures. Under revenue and net income model, performance compensation of physician D is the highest, as D’s contributions to total revenue is the highest.

Selecting the best-fit revenue cycle management (RCM) system for your healthcare organization is critical for success. Beginning before the first appointment scheduling inquiry and continuing through revenue capture and reinvestment, the process must be transparent. To align initiatives with practice objectives, providers depend on a blend of unique data, health intelligence, clinical data, and claims data. As care delivery reimbursement guidelines move away from a traditional volume-based revenue generation model toward the Health and Human Services value-based reimbursement system, practice managers must focus on ways to empower their staff and colleagues to access information that not only improves quality of care, but also enhances customer experience.

Name the three main forces that have been responsible for hospital downsizing. How has each of these forces been responsible for the decline in inpatient hospital utilization? • Changes in Reimbursement- Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of 1982 required the conversion of hospital Medicare reimbursement from cost-plus to a prospective payment system (PPS). Under PPS, hospitals are paid a fixed amount per admission according to the patient's principal diagnosis - regardless of length of stay. To make a profit, hospitals must keep costs below the fixed reimbursement amount, which creates, and incentive to minimize length of stay.
There is no reason why organizations could not change their accounting practices and bill the patients as a whole instead of per procedures/departments. I do not know financial nurses aspects as of yet, but this to me seems simple. Paying one bill, is less intimidating to the patients and the hospital might see a better response to this type of
When the Medicare payments to a hospital are reduced, this can lead to a decrease in revenue because Medicare is a large source of funding for many hospitals. Another way hospitals may be financially impacted by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program would be that they may need to spend more money on staff, training, and equipment to ensure they are giving the best quality of care possible to avoid readmissions. Because of the potential reduction of Medicare funds, managers in hospitals are affected because they now will have more responsibilities associated with budgeting and quality assurance. As a manager at a hospital that is being penalized by the Medicare 30-day readmission rule, the manager will have to figure out solutions for improving quality. Some things a manager may do in this situation may be getting additional training for their employees as well as monitoring their performance to make sure they are giving the patients the best quality of care
In the healthcare organization variable costs may account for over 50 to 60 percent of the operating budget, and supply costs may be another 10 to 15 percent (Rauth, Wadsworth & Weeks, 2010). Healthcare organizations must track and assess the trends of revenue and expenses that can occur within a hospital based on activity levels within the organization. Patient stay days have a direct result to the healthcare organization profits or revenues as well as variable costs. Knowing averages of costs and revenues in relation to patient census assists management in making decisions regarding how the organization can operate to have revenue (Rauth, Wadsworth & Weeks, 2010). There are two types of revenue actual and expected (Dunham-Taylor & Leger, 2018).
