Note from the Director: NAHRI to host virtual revenue integrity event

Wednesday, August 19, 2020

by Jaclyn Fitzgerald, CHRI

High-level continued learning and engaged networking with peers are critical to revenue integrity professionals as healthcare regulations transform each year. This is especially true in the wake of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has led to unprecedented revenue shortfalls and increased billing and reimbursement changes.

We are excited to announce we will host Revenue Integrity and Reimbursement Strategies: A NAHRI Virtual Event from October 6‒8, 2020, to ensure revenue integrity professionals have access to the focused education and innovative networking they have come to expect from NAHRI.

Ensuring revenue is accurate and compliant has never been more critical, but with CMS and other payers releasing new guidance and rules at lightning speed simply keeping up has become a significant challenge. Healthcare organizations have never been under more stress. This three-day virtual event offers the expert advice and analysis you need to maintain revenue integrity now and prepare for the coming year.

Registrants will have ongoing access to the educational sessions for the remainder of the year so you can go back and re-watch the audio-video sessions that are critical to your role.

Networking and education on our virtual portal

NAHRI offers access to all our sessions within one easy-to-use virtual event portal. Our event kicks off each day at 11:30 a.m. Eastern and ensures balance between educational sessions, networking events, and access to exhibitors who can offer you helpful solutions. We will start day one with a special edition of The Revenue Integrity Show: A NAHRI Podcast where select speakers will discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue integrity operations.

Between sessions, we have carved out dedicated time for networking, events, and of course fun, games, and prizes using our integrated gamification. Real-time chat, questions, polls, and presence detection in the portal will create the ultimate social experience for session attendees. You can join your peers for video calls or opt for text chat all within one portal. Each day features a live Q&A session with that day’s speakers so you can get the answers you need in a timely manner.

Take a moment to browse our agenda and be sure to reach out to a member of the NAHRI team at nahri@hcpro.com if you have any questions. We look forward to “seeing” you there!
