Nurses Week 2018 Reflections
By Mary Gannon, Senior Director and Chief Nursing Officer
Inspire, Innovate, Influence – those three words are the American Nurses Association theme for Nurses Week 2018. As I reflect upon my career as a nurse and think about all of the lives I have come in contact with, I think of you all. While patient and family care is first and foremost to who we are, the ability to inspire, innovate and influence is what drives the advancement of care and advocacy for the betterment of healthcare regardless of the venue in which we practice. We share experiences, passion, frustration, joy across the continuum of life and whether you remain in direct patient care or have moved to nursing related fields such as information technology, education, leadership, you will always, first and foremost be a nurse…and nurses make a difference.
I wish you a wonderful Nurses Week 2018!

The Three Pillars of a Sustainable Healthcare Revenue Cycle
Thursday, June 04 | Post-Acute Care,Thought Leadership
For many healthcare leaders "billing" is viewed as a back-office function. It is often treated as the final step to resolve issues that began weeks or even months earlier. In today's complex regulatory and reimbursement environment, this approach is no longer sustainable. Treating the revenue cycle as a siloed endpoint can lead to increased denials, delayed cash flow and staff burnout.

Something fundamental has shifted in senior living, and most organizations feel it every day. Residents are delaying move-in and ultimately arriving with more complex needs than many communities were designed to support. Residents and their families still want exceptional hospitality and services. Referring providers and partners expect clinical coordination while payers demand outcomes supported by data. And operators are expected to deliver all three at the same time and at scale.
