Tribal Nations & the United States: An Introduction
There are 574 federally recognized Indian Nations (variously called tribes, nations, bands, pueblos, communities and native villages) in the United States. Approximately 229 of these ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse nations are located in Alaska; the other federally recognized tribes are located in 35 other states. Additionally, there are state recognized tribes located throughout the United States recognized by their respective state governments.
A Culture of Tribal Governance
American Indians and Alaska Natives are members of the original Indigenous peoples of North America. Tribal nations have been recognized as sovereign since their first interaction with European settlers. The United States continues to recognize this unique political status and relationship.

Inspirations, deep thoughts, surprising insights, or random ideas on how social media intersects PR.
Everyone is recovering from the US presidential election, and most of us are going back to our normal daily lives. For the majority of us that does not include politics. I for one am very glad its over. This was one of the messier presidential elections and had an effect not only on what Americans were watching on television every night but also what American are choosing to buy, and what they’re choosing to boycott.
I read an interesting article on PR Week, and thought it was worth sharing and discussing. Click the link to read the article: So your brand is the victim of fake news. Now what?
As public relations scholars and professionals the last thing we want to read or hear about is fake news. As communications professionals the news should be only facts and completely non biased right?
In my opinion, people no longer get their news from traditional or credible news outlets. Blogs, vlogs, news websites, daily journals, and social media are now the majority of how we get our news. Many of us, are guilty of not having watch a major news network or local news network on TV for a long time prior to the election.
Unfortunately for major corporations like Pepsi and New Balance, the lies, told by these non-credible news outlets that millions of people are reading and viewing everyday are costing them quite a bit. Not only are these companies losing revenue in lost business, but their executive members are being accused of making statements they never said.
Reading this story takes me back to grade school, when someone told another person something about a person that wasn’t true, but everyone believed it, and shunned the person for it. It’s natural to pity and individual who has been lied on, but a major corporations that’s worth millions of dollars, do people have that same empathy for? It’s an interesting question to consider, and what about the writers of these lies? Knowing that the allegations aren’t true, do their readers consider then still credible sources? Is it even news?

More time cutting than sewing. Quilt top so far... Only took 3 days. Still need to sandwich and quilt/bind. Need thread first.
Q&A with MrsKatieWW
Beautiful job! I just started this project and hope to do it as well as you did. How did you quilt it?
It comes together so nicely with zero guesswork. I am finally quilting this project and I'm falling in love with the nearly finished project. Yours will be terrific too. This fabric is just too pretty to be anything else :)

Triathlons are one of the most intense and gruelling sports out there. With their relentless combination of cycling, swimming and long-distance running, they’re certainly not for the faint hearted. This doesn’t deter Barmby’s Kenton Robbins though, who will be competing in The Homecrafts Goole Sprint Triathlon for the second year running – all in the name of charity.
Kenton’s been on quite the journey to get to where he is today, and in 2013 would probably have never even considered competing. He told Our Goole: ‘Back in 2013 I started to present with atrial fibrillation as my heartbeat become irregular. After an extensive period of diagnosis, they found that my lymphatic system and my lymph nodes were enlarging. One of the scans revealed a tumour on my thyroid. On a positive note, the tumour was benign but the recovery took longer than expected.
Unfortunately, after eight months, I found two more tumours in my throat. Luckily, they were more accessible for the surgeon and after a short convalescence I was back to work and looking forward to rude health again.’
After such a tough time, Kenton chose to look to the future and put his time and energy into HIIT training, working closely with Mark Wilson of Lion Fitness, based in Selby. It didn’t take Kenton long to find his fitness improving dramatically.
Kenton then took his wife to watch the triathlon at Allerthorpe, and found himself completely inspired: ‘Mark and I booked on to the Goole Tri in 2016. We gave it our all and after everything I’d been through, I wasn’t going to let a Swim-Ride-Run get in the way!’
With the success of his first triathlon, Kenton decided it was time to put his new sport to good use. This year, he’s set himself the mammoth challenge of a full year’s triathlon season with at least six events, roughly one a month from March to September. During this triathlon season, Kenton will be raising money for a whole host of charities, including the Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust. The charity is there to help anybody struggling with thyroid cancer and is the first of its kind dedicated to this type.
This is a cause that is very much close to Kenton’s heart, and makes the hard work in his training all the more worthwhile. Other charities Kenton will be fundraising for during his challenge include: Macmillan Cancer Support, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Children’s Burns Trust and The Fountain Centre.
His big race in Goole is just a few months away – The Homecrafts Goole Sprint Triathlon 2017 will kick off on Sunday, October 1st. He’s even tempted to run in a separate event next month – The Goole Triathlon, which takes place on Sunday, July 16th. We encourage all our readers to take a look at Kenton’s Twitter feed: @kentonr, where he will be posting updates of all his races as well as more details on his fundraising.
He’ll also be competing in York this month. You can donate to Alzheimer’s Research for this race via his JustGiving page at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kenton-robbins2

Which photo are you most drawn to? Are you drawn to how the trees protect you on both sides in the photo on the left? Or do you prefer the wide open space in the beach photo on the right?
This week my preference is to be protected in my happy bubble by those trees.
But I love the freedom and the expansiveness of wide open spaces too.
Yup, this week I am betwixt and between. I am not fully either of those things, and I surely need both of those things. Let me explain.
I stepped out and participated in a couple of community events this week. The first was a community meeting to discuss the idea of The Whale Sanctuary Project choosing a location in Nova Scotia to build a sanctuary for six to eight Beluga whales who would be rescued from the entertainment industry and given a better home to live out the rest of their years. I was SO excited to go and listen to the presenters who came from California to share their passion for whales. But instead of feeling excited, I left that meeting feeling discouraged.
I was frustrated because there were a couple of people in the crowd who were loud, negative and rude to the guest presenters. I got so frustrated by one man’s behaviour that I actually asked him to stop talking and give other people in the room a chance to ask their questions. It wasn’t my finest display of patience.
The guest presenter handled things like a pro. He was one of the most diplomatic people I’ve ever met. Instead of brushing the bully off, he said things like “every point of view needs to be heard, and every question is important.” I want to be more like him.
I went to another public event and listened to really discouraging comments from the crowd. I read online comments (my bad) and witnessed the worst of humanity. This week I kept encountering loud, negative and rude behaviour and it made me question why I leave the comfortable bubble of my life only to expose myself to things in this world that disappoint, anger and sadden me. Enter all of the psychology and life teachings around that… yes, got it. Or obviously I don’t. hahaha
So back to the photos.
Do I want to stay in the bubble of my life that feels good, or am I ready to face the exposure of putting myself out there for things that I care about?
I haven’t got it all figured out, but here are some of the things I did to help navigate the way I am feeling this week.
So where does this leave me? Being human… taking one day at a time.
I choose both photos.
There are times when it’s important to surround ourselves with what is comfortable and to recharge our batteries… and there are times to go out and risk being vulnerable, to brave the world and work on things that we deeply care about.

Linear motion Linear motion products and solutions from SKF combine the understanding and efforts of linear travel units (ball and roller screws) and linear guides and tables. Linear push methods generally use screws to transfer rotary into linear movements. This necessity is nicely accomplished by our high effectiveness driving merchandise: miniature and large rolled ball screws, floor ball screws and also unique versions of roller screws.
Linear motion may be the motion that's purely natural to an object: shifting within a straight line. In accordance with Newton s To start with Law of Motion, an object not afflicted by any force will keep on indefinitely inside of a straight line. If a projectile is thrown vertically, it'll travel in linear motion and may start to drop when the pressure of gravity equals the power of the toss.
According to Newton’s initial law (also referred to as the principle of inertia), a physique without net pressure acting on it will eventually both continue to be at relaxation or continue to move with uniform pace within a straight line, In line with its Preliminary ailment of motion.
Equipment Resources Solutions IN MOTION From shafting and supports, to spherical and square rail guides, linear motion devices to pillow blocks, Thomson demonstrates how our products and solutions excel as the top Option inside of a big range of industrial apps.
Linear motion is among the most fundamental of all motion. In line with Newton's initial legislation of motion, objects that don't working experience any Internet power will go on to move in a very straight line with a constant velocity right up until They are really subjected to a net power.
All right, perfectly yet again to solve that let's look at a few equations alright first off the distance traveled as a consequence of a simple velocity is simply a velocity times time, so meters for every seconds about seconds all right. The main difference because of gravity is one 50 % gravity periods time squared, that'll be valuable for the second section right here all right. And once again the pressure of gravity is nine.
Linear motion is motion that happens in a straight check my site line. Ball bushings are made use of on shafts and lessen friction in both of those helpful hints axial and linear motions. Ball bushings can be self-aligning and present great have on resistance in addition to a small coefficient of friction.
In keeping with Newton’s first law (also known as the theory of inertia), a system without any Web drive acting on it will eventually both stay at relaxation or keep on to move with uniform pace within a straight line, In accordance with its First ailment of…
Rather easy difficulty, if I begin to see the 20 meters for each next equals ten meters for each next times t I'm able to see that seconds squared and this will likely be unit in seconds so that they'll terminate. I can see that my t equals two seconds all right.
linear motion projectile gravity Let us mention linear motion, This is an illustration of linear motion I get this tennis ball And that i toss it up and down It is really transferring in a single dimension ok. That's a little distinct than parabolic motion where by It can be relocating at an angle plus the force of gravity is also pulling it down. So let's very first examine linear motion, once again To put it simply It truly is just alter is distance about the modify in time ok.
Neglecting the rotation together with other motions of the Earth, an example of linear motion would be the ball helpful hints thrown straight up and slipping back again straight down.

The Buccaneers put their first points on the board as an immediate answer to the Broncos first strike of the game.
The drive began at the 20-yard line and was immediately jump-started by a 5-yard Doug Martin run and 15-yard facemask penalty on the play. The Buccaneers took one strike downfield that fell incomplete before unleashing their rookie running back again.
QB Josh Freeman found him on a screen pass on the left side and Martin turned it up field, stiff arming and breaking tackles for a gain of 26, bringing the ball into Denver territory at the 34-yard line. He took the next carry off the left tackle again following his blockers and displaying his footwork for a gain of nine.
The offense was able to make their way to the red zone on a Luke Stocker 11-yard reception, but only made it as far as the 14-yard line, setting up a 31-yard attempt. His kick sailed through the uprights making the score 7-3.

- Extreme Civil War: Guerrilla Warfare, Environment, and Race on the Trans-Mississippi Frontier by Matthew M. Stith
Turning his attention to the western edge of the Trans-Mississippi Theater, Matthew M. Stith seeks to illuminate the "extreme" style of warfare that characterized this borderland during the Civil War. In explaining how soldiers and civilians in this region experienced the war, Stith uncovers that the conflict within this culturally and environmentally diverse region escalated far beyond what many scholars have termed "hard war" (2). By interlacing discussions of race, culture, politics, guerrilla tactics, counterinsurgency measures, and the environment, Stith demonstrates that the western Trans-Mississippi border was a unique theater of war in which the conflict became increasingly brutal and civilian-centered.
In Extreme Civil War, Stith, a professor at the University of Texas at Tyler, focuses on irregular and regular forces, the environment, and the role of race in the war in the Trans-Mississippi borderland. As both guerrillas and the West are growing fields in Civil War scholarship, Stith's book is a welcome addition. Building on recent works on guerrilla warfare and complicating Mark Grimsley's 1995 book The Hard Hand of War, Stith examines how the policies and actions of soldiers, guerrillas, and governments shifted over four years of war. Simultaneously, he discusses the ways in which the environment influenced the war, was altered (and in many cases, completely destroyed) by war, and became a tool of war.
Organizing his book chronologically, Stith recounts how a different kind of warfare emerged—one that occurred not only on the geographical margins of the Trans-Mississippi, but also on the margins of civilized warfare. In this extreme form of "hard war," Stith argues, nobody was immune to its immediate and long-term effects—women and children became active participants alongside soldiers. In the region where Arkansas, Indian Territory, Missouri, and Kansas met and formed a cultural, racial, and environmental borderland, civilians were drawn into the conflict almost as soon as hostilities began. Although Stith explains that guerrillas subscribed to a code of honor that limited violence against innocent white women and children, this did not keep them from stealing or destroying everything they owned. Men, older boys, and African American civilians, however, were rarely exempt from the guerrillas' death code on the Trans-Mississippi border.
Environment plays a key role in Stith's book, as both an influencer of warfare and a victim. Just as nobody was entirely immune to guerrilla tactics or foraging soldiers, nobody was immune to the environment's extremes. Even before the war began, the harsh climate transformed the region into what some called "Starving Kansas." During the war, as guerrillas and Union forces competed for control of the region, confiscating or stealing livestock, foodstuffs, and supplies along the way, civilians struggled to survive. Frigid winters and wide fluctuations in rainfall, likewise, plagued civilians, Confederate guerrillas, and Union forces. Relying on recollections from soldiers and civilians who witnessed the desolation, Stith illustrates the extent of the devastation and the horrors of "extreme" war. [End Page 86]
While environmental factors significantly affected civilians and combatants, Stith also reveals that civilians suffered due to the Union army's presence in the region. In their fight for the region, thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers traversed southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. Just as Confederate guerrillas attacked potential unionists, Union troops punished civilians thought to be loyal to the Confederacy. Feeling threatened by both forces and the environment, people living outside towns fled the area. Their isolated homes and, Stith explains, became center points of what had rapidly turned into a vast and brutal battlefield. And beginning in 1862, civilian-centered guerrilla warfare quickly expanded to take the place of large armies and grand campaigns (83–84).
This transition from regular versus irregular warfare to full-scale civilian-centered guerrilla warfare is what, for Stith, makes the western Trans-Mississippi region worth studying. While civilians were not immune to warfare...

n2-Propadienylidenelanthanum [La(n2-CCCH2)] and deprotiolanthanacyclobutadiene [La(HCCCH)] of La(C3H2) are identified from the reaction mixture of neutral La atom activation of propyne in the gas phase. The two isomers are characterized with mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy combined with electronic structure calculations and spectral simulations. La(n2-CCCH2) and La(HCCCH) are formed by concerted 1,3- and 3,3-dehydrogenation, respectively. Both isomers prefer a doublet ground state with a La 6s-based unpaired electron, and La(n2-CCCH2) is slightly more stable than La(HCCCH). Ionization of the neutral doublet state of either isomer produces a singlet ion state by removing the La-based electron. The geometry change upon ionization results in the excitation of a symmetric metal-hydrocarbon stretching mode in the ionic state, whereas thermal excitation leads to the observation of the same stretching mode in the neutral state. Although the La atom is in a formal oxidation state of +2, the ionization energies of these metal-hydrocarbon radicals are lower than that of the neutral La atom. Deuteration has a very small effect on the ionization energies of the two isomers and the metal-hydrocarbon stretching mode of La(n2-CCCH2), but it reduces considerably the metal-ligand stretching frequencies of La(HCCCH).

Bank of Ireland’s interest income from loans declined in 2015 compared with the previous year, illustrating the difficulty banks face in growing profits.
Interest income was €3,269m compared with €3,432m in 2014. However, the bank also paid out less interest to depositors – €825m v. €1,111m - so net interest income improved by 5.3% year-on-year.
Operating expenses advanced by 6.9% to €1,823m. When trading from the bank’s insurance operation is factored in, BoI’s operating profit improved by 9.7% to €1,340m. The net outcome was €940m v. €786m. No dividend was paid to shareholders but chief executive Richie Boucher said the dividend will be reinstated in FY 2016.
Broker Darren McKinley at Merrion commented: “We assume investors who buy at the current price will be rewarded with a dividend of 5%+ in FY18. The resumption of dividends should help broaden the potential investor base. The investment case is further strengthened now that we expect their net loan book will grow again in FY16, having been contracting for a long period post the recession. We currently rate Bank of Ireland a ‘Buy’ with a December 2016 target price of 36c. Given the upcoming Irish election and UK ‘in-out’ referendum we expect continued volatility in Bank of Ireland’s share price.”
Boucher commented: “All of our trading divisions are profitable and contributed to our strong financial performance during the period. We continued to be the largest lender to the Irish economy and we are well positioned to meet credit demand which is recovering as the Irish economy grows and confidence returns."
The Bank of Ireland share has plunged from 34c at the end of December 2015 to the 26c level now, wiping €2.5bn off the company's value.
Bank of Ireland is Ireland’s leading corporate and business bank and has the second largest market share in consumer banking. The Central Bank’s recent macro financial review paints a fairly gloomy picture of the short-term prospects for Bank of Ireland and other Irish banks.
The CBI review notes that the recovery in banks’ profits remains weak. “The improvement in profitability has been mainly driven by write-backs of impairment provisions, and the high level of impaired loans remains a challenge for the banking system,” says the CBI.
New lending, while increasing, remains at levels which are being offset by redemptions of existing loans. In the CBI’s view, the reliance on lower funding costs to support income growth is not a viable long-term source of earnings growth.
“Despite some positive developments, domestic banks continue to face challenges in terms of developing business models that are capable of producing sustainable income,” states the review. “In an environment where profitability levels across the European banking system are weak, domestic Irish banks compare poorly when operating profit before impairment provisions is used.”
The CBI calculates that one-fifth of outstanding loans by value in domestic banks are non-performing, a high figure by international comparison. “In general, the necessity to set aside provisions for a substantial amount of NPLs hampers the ability of banks to supply credit to the real economy. The resolution of legacy arrears is a crucial determinant of the future performance of the domestic banks,” states the review.
Another factor weighing on sentiment towards Bank of Ireland is the possibility of the UK deciding to leave the European Union. In the worst case scenario, Brexit could have a “significant impact” on the Irish financial sector, the CBI warns.
Despite this negative mood music, house broker Davy predicts that growth in UK lending will result in overall net loan book growth in 2016. The broker’s ‘discounted fair value’ for BOI is 39.5c.

Weird horror homage that may develop a cult following
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning
This bizarre little horror film that appears to have come out of nowhere seems, judging by it's style and appearance, to be a homage to the grainy 1970s horror flicks from the likes of Dario Argento or other such luminaries. Playing out in various acts (i.e. Act I: Transmission and such...) maybe the feeling isn't so much homage as one of trying to be clever and post ironic, but either way the film has the feeling of a particular type of grainy horror flick.
The driving force seems to be AJ Bowen's possessive husband, tracking his unfaithful spouse (Anessa Ramsey) after being driven mad by a twisted transmission in the tellys, leading to a whole succession of mad plot twists, until saviour (hopefully) arrives in the form of Justin Welborn's more rational bit on the side. There's plenty of blood splattered violence on display, some of it seriously pushing the boundaries, but all done with a noticeable and decent tongue in the cheek that balances it all out. The plot alone is complicated and, yes clever enough that at least two viewings would be a good idea. While this doesn't manage to be a classic of any kind, it more than makes for a rewarding enough horror flick. ***

As we prepare to meet the new Doctor Who this Sunday, it looks like My Family star Kris Marshall is still the frontrunner to enter the TARDIS next time around. Taking over from Peter Capaldi, the bets are still running on who will be tuning their sonic screwdriver to play the thirteenth Doctor for the BBC.
We already saw hints of the Doctor's infamous regeneration during July 1's season finale "The Doctor Falls", and the stage is set for a new era. Continuing as the 11th season of the show since its reboot in 2005, Doctor Who promises all change for the BBC's sci-fi drama. In addition to Capaldi's departure, showrunner Steven Moffat will be replaced by Chris Chibnall in season 11.
Betting site Odds Checker confirms that Marshall is still in the No.1 spot for odds-on playing the next Doctor. With current odds as high as 1/2, you won't get much for your money when betting on the 44-year-old. Coming in second place is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, so could we be getting our first ever female Doctor? Bets on Waller-Bridge soared after the Fleabag creator hinted the next Doctor could be a woman. "The Doctor Falls" also fanned the flames that the TARDIS will be getting a woman's touch, as John Simm and Michelle Gomez's alternate versions of the Master teased an all-woman future.
Equally popular - and currently in third place - is Black Mirror and Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker. Friday Night Dinner star Tom Rosenthal is in fourth place for a younger version of the Doctor, and Homeland veteran David Harewood rounds off the top five. BAFTA Award-winning Michaela Coel is currently in sixth place, while Doctor Strange's Tilda Swinton is at seven.
However, with Marshall refusing to address rumors that he is playing the Doctor, and quitting his long-term role on the BBC's Death in Paradise, all signs point to him playing the legendary time-traveller. However, even when we do find out who will be the next incarnation, we will still have to wait another five months until the Christmas special and Capaldi's swansong. In classic Doctor Who tradition, the current actor usually bows out during the festive episode and ushers in the new blood.
However, with even Christmas special director Rachel Talalay claiming she has no idea who will be the next Doctor, it is still anyone's guess who it will actually be. Either way, we are sure to kick off season 11 of the popular prime time show with a bang when it eventually airs in 2018. The BBC promises to reveal the identity of the mystery Doctor after Wimbledon's Men's Final on July 16th, so we don't have long to wait.

Introduction to Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is the financial process that healthcare organizations use to track patient care and payment. It involves managing all aspects of the revenue process, from appointment scheduling and insurance verification to medical coding, billing, and payment collection. The importance of effective revenue cycle management cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the financial stability and success of a healthcare organization.
What is Revenue Cycle Management?
Revenue cycle management is the financial process that healthcare organizations use to track patient care and payment. This process involves managing all aspects of the revenue process, including appointment scheduling, insurance verification, medical coding, billing, payment collection, and accounts receivable. The goal of RCM is to ensure that healthcare organizations receive payment for the services they provide in a timely and efficient manner.
Importance of Revenue Cycle Management
Effective revenue cycle management is critical for the financial stability and success of healthcare organizations. It helps to ensure that healthcare providers receive payment for the services they provide in a timely and efficient manner, and it also helps to improve the overall patient experience by streamlining the billing and payment process. Poor RCM can result in delays in payment, denied claims, and decreased revenue, which can significantly impact the financial stability of a healthcare organization.
Objectives of Revenue Cycle Management
The primary objectives of revenue cycle management are to increase revenue, improve financial stability, and enhance the patient experience. To achieve these goals, RCM focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of the billing and payment process, reducing delays in payment, and decreasing the number of denied claims. RCM also helps healthcare organizations to comply with regulatory requirements and reduce the risk of financial loss due to fraud or errors.
Key Players in Revenue Cycle Management
The key players in revenue cycle management include healthcare providers, billing and coding specialists, insurance companies, and patients. The healthcare providers are responsible for delivering patient care and generating the claims that are submitted for payment. Billing and coding specialists are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the medical codes and claims submitted for payment. Insurance companies are responsible for verifying and processing claims, and patients are responsible for paying their share of the costs.
Revenue Cycle Management Process
The revenue cycle management process includes several key steps, including patient encounter and scheduling, insurance verification and authorization, medical coding and billing, payment posting, and accounts receivable. Each of these steps is critical to the overall success of the RCM process and requires the expertise and collaboration of all key players. To ensure the success of the RCM process, healthcare organizations must continually monitor and evaluate their processes to identify areas for improvement.
Patient Encounter and Scheduling
The first step in the revenue cycle management process is the patient encounter and scheduling. This involves scheduling appointments, verifying insurance coverage, and obtaining patient information. Accurate and complete patient information is essential for the success of the RCM process, as it helps to ensure that the correct insurance information is submitted with the claim and that the patient is responsible for the correct portion of the bill.
Insurance Verification and Authorization
The next step in the revenue cycle management process is insurance verification and authorization. This involves verifying the patient's insurance coverage, determining the patient's responsibility for payment, and obtaining any necessary authorizations. Proper insurance verification and authorization help to reduce the risk of denied claims and ensure that the healthcare organization receives payment for the services provided.
Medical Coding and Billing
Once the patient encounter and insurance verification have been completed, the next step in the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) process is medical coding and billing. Medical coding specialists use standardized codes to accurately describe the medical services provided to the patient. This information is then used to generate a claim that is submitted to the insurance company for payment. Accurate medical coding and billing are critical to the success of the RCM process, as incorrect coding can result in denied claims and decreased revenue.
Payment Posting and Accounts Receivable
The final step in the revenue cycle management process is payment posting and accounts receivable. This involves posting payments received from insurance companies and patients to the appropriate accounts, and following up on any outstanding balances. Effective payment posting and accounts receivable management helps to ensure that healthcare organizations receive payment for the services they provide in a timely manner and reduce the risk of bad debt.
The Benefits of an Effective Revenue Cycle Management
RCM is a critical component of the healthcare industry, as it directly impacts the financial performance of healthcare organizations. An effective RCM process can help to improve financial performance, increase staff efficiency, enhance patient satisfaction, and improve data management. Here are the benefits of an effective revenue cycle management process and the common challenges that healthcare organizations face.
Improved Financial Performance
One of the key benefits of an effective revenue cycle management process is improved financial performance. With an efficient RCM process in place, healthcare organizations can reduce the risk of denied claims, reduce administrative costs, and increase the speed at which they receive payment for services provided. This leads to improved cash flow and bottom-line results, allowing healthcare organizations to invest in other areas of their business.
Increased Staff Efficiency
An effective revenue cycle management process also leads to increased staff efficiency. With streamlined workflows, automated processes, and accurate data entry, healthcare staff can focus on providing high-quality patient care, rather than being bogged down by administrative tasks. This not only leads to improved staff morale, but it also helps to reduce staff burnout and turnover.
Better Patient Satisfaction
Effective revenue cycle management can also have a positive impact on patient satisfaction. With improved patient communication and clearer billing processes, patients are more likely to have a positive experience with the healthcare organization. This can lead to increased patient loyalty and improved patient retention, as well as improved referral patterns.
Enhanced Data Management
An effective revenue cycle management process also leads to improved data management. With accurate and complete patient information, healthcare organizations can make informed decisions about patient care and improve their overall patient outcomes. Accurate data management also helps to reduce the risk of medical errors and improves the overall quality of care provided.
Common Challenges in Revenue Cycle Management
Despite the benefits of an effective revenue cycle management process, healthcare organizations still face a number of common challenges. These include:
Inadequate Staff Training
One of the biggest challenges in revenue cycle management is inadequate staff training. Without proper training, staff may not understand the importance of accurate data entry or may be unfamiliar with the latest medical coding and billing practices. This can lead to errors, decreased efficiency, and decreased revenue.
Another common challenge in revenue cycle management is inefficient workflows. In many cases, healthcare organizations have outdated or manual processes that are time-consuming and prone to errors. Improving workflows can help to reduce administrative costs, increase efficiency, and improve overall financial performance.
Inaccurate Data Entry
Inaccurate data entry is another major challenge in revenue cycle management. With incorrect patient information, healthcare organizations may not receive payment for services provided or may be at risk of denied claims. Improving data accuracy and completeness is essential for the success of the RCM process.
Limited Technology and Automation
Finally, limited technology and automation are common challenges in revenue cycle management. In many cases, healthcare organizations have outdated systems or limited automation capabilities, which can lead to decreased efficiency and increased administrative costs. Implementing new technology and automation can help to improve the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) process and reduce the risk of errors.
Best Practices for Revenue Cycle Management
Develop a Comprehensive RCM
Plan One of the first steps in improving revenue cycle management is to develop a comprehensive Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) plan. This plan should outline the goals, processes, and strategies that the organization will use to manage the RCM process. This includes identifying areas for improvement, setting targets, and establishing KPIs to track progress.
Regularly Review and Update Policies and Procedures
Another best practice for revenue cycle management is to regularly review and update policies and procedures. This helps to ensure that the RCM process is in line with industry standards, remains efficient, and is up-to-date with the latest technology and automation.
Invest in Technology and Automation
Investing in technology and automation is another key best practice for revenue cycle management. This includes implementing systems for patient scheduling, insurance verification, medical coding and billing, and payment posting and accounts receivable. Automating these processes helps to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve the accuracy of data.
Implement Effective Training Programs
Effective training programs are also important for the success of revenue cycle management. This includes training for staff on the latest medical coding and billing practices, as well as training on the technology and systems used in the RCM process. This helps to reduce errors, improve staff efficiency, and increase the overall quality of the RCM process.
Revenue Cycle Management Metrics
Measuring the success of the revenue cycle management process is essential for making informed decisions about the RCM process. There are a number of metrics that healthcare organizations should track, including:
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
KPIs are critical metrics for tracking the success of the revenue cycle management process. This includes metrics such as denied claims, average days in accounts receivable, and payment accuracy. By tracking these KPIs, healthcare organizations can identify areas for improvement and make changes to improve their RCM process.
Benchmarking and Trend Analysis
Benchmarking and trend analysis are also important metrics for tracking the success of the revenue cycle management process. This involves comparing the organization's RCM performance against industry standards and trends and using this information to make improvements to the RCM process.
Performance Tracking and Reporting
Performance tracking and reporting are also essential for the success of the RCM process. This involves tracking the performance of the RCM process over time, including the accuracy of data, the speed of payment, and the overall efficiency of the process.
Finally, ROI calculations are critical for measuring the success of the revenue cycle management process. This involves calculating the return on investment for the RCM process, including the cost of technology and automation, the cost of staff training, and the return on investment in terms of improved financial performance and increased efficiency.
The Role of Technology in Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is a complex and ever-evolving process that requires the use of technology to achieve efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. In this section, we'll explore the role of technology in RCM and its impact on the revenue generation process.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
Electronic health records (EHRs) play a critical role in revenue cycle management as they provide healthcare providers with a comprehensive view of a patient's medical history. With EHRs, medical billing and coding professionals can quickly access patient information, making it easier to accurately code and bill for services rendered.

Automated Payment Posting and Denial Management
Automated payment posting and denial management tools streamline the payment and denial management process, reducing errors and improving the accuracy of revenue cycle management. With these tools, healthcare providers can automate payment posting and denial management, freeing up staff time for other critical revenue cycle management tasks.
Improving Claims Management and Denial Prevention
Revenue cycle management is directly impacted by the management of claims and the prevention of denials. In this section, we'll explore how technology can help improve claims management and denial prevention.
Understanding the Claims Process
Understanding the claims process is critical to improving claims management and denial prevention. With a clear understanding of the claims process, healthcare providers can take proactive measures to reduce the number of denied claims and improve the overall efficiency of the revenue cycle management process.
Identifying Common Denial Causes
Identifying common denial causes is key to improving claims management and denial prevention. By understanding the most common causes of denials, healthcare providers can take proactive measures to reduce the number of denied claims, improving the overall efficiency of the revenue cycle management process.
Implementing Denial Prevention Strategies
Implementing denial prevention strategies is a critical component of improving claims management and denial prevention. With the right denial prevention strategies in place, healthcare providers can reduce the number of denied claims, improving the overall efficiency and profitability of the revenue cycle management process.
Enhancing Claims Management through Technology
Technology plays a critical role in enhancing claims management and denial prevention. With the right technology in place, healthcare providers can automate the claims management process, reducing errors and improving the overall efficiency and profitability of the revenue cycle management process.
The Importance of Medical Coding and Billing
Medical coding and billing play a crucial role in the revenue cycle management of healthcare organizations. Accurate and efficient coding and billing processes ensure that healthcare providers receive proper reimbursement for the services they provide.
Understanding Medical Coding
Medical coding involves assigning standardized codes to medical diagnoses, procedures, and services. These codes are used for insurance claims, medical records, and statistical purposes. There are several coding systems, including ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS, each with its own unique codes and requirements.
Importance of Accurate Medical Billing
Accurate medical billing is essential for ensuring that healthcare providers receive proper reimbursement for the services they provide. Inaccurate billing can result in denied claims, delayed payments, and decreased revenue. It is also important for maintaining good relationships with patients and insurance companies.
Common Billing Errors and Their Impact
Common billing errors include incorrect coding, missing or incorrect patient information, and incorrect insurance information. These errors can result in denied claims, delayed payments, and decreased revenue. They can also lead to increased administrative costs and decreased patient satisfaction.
Strategies for Improving Medical Coding and Billing
Improving medical coding and billing processes can help to increase revenue, reduce administrative costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Some strategies include regular staff training, investing in technology and automation, and implementing efficient workflows. Regular audits and quality assurance processes can also help to identify and resolve coding and billing errors.
Patient Financial Responsibility and Payment Collection
Patient financial responsibility refers to the portion of medical expenses that patients are responsible for paying. Understanding patient financial responsibility is important for implementing effective payment collection strategies and streamlining the payment collection process.
Understanding Patient Financial Responsibility
Patient financial responsibility can vary based on a patient's insurance coverage and the specific services they receive. It is important for healthcare providers to understand patient financial responsibility in order to accurately bill patients and receive proper reimbursement.
Implementing Effective Payment Collection Strategies
Effective payment collection strategies can help healthcare providers receive prompt payment for the services they provide. These strategies may include pre-authorization, pre-payment, and patient financing options. Automated payment posting and denial management systems can also help streamline the payment collection process.
Streamlining the Payment Collection Process
Streamlining the payment collection process can help healthcare providers receive prompt payment for the services they provide and improve patient satisfaction. Automated payment posting and denial management systems can help to automate and streamline the payment collection process, reducing administrative costs and increasing revenue.
Improving Patient Communication and Education
Improving patient communication and education can help healthcare providers increase patient satisfaction and ensure prompt payment for the services they provide. Providing clear and concise information about patient financial responsibility, payment options, and the payment collection process can help to improve patient understanding and reduce the risk of billing errors.
Accounts Receivable Management
Understanding Accounts Receivable Revenue cycle management (RCM) includes the process of tracking, collecting, and managing payments from patients, insurance companies, and other sources. Accounts receivable (AR) is a critical component of RCM and refers to the outstanding amounts that a healthcare organization is owed for services provided.
Strategies for Improving Accounts Receivable
To optimize their AR, healthcare organizations should focus on reducing their average accounts receivable days, improving their collections rate, and increasing the accuracy and efficiency of their billing and payment processes. Some strategies that can help improve AR include implementing automated payment solutions, regularly monitoring and reporting on accounts receivable, and optimizing payment collection processes.
Implementing Automated Accounts Receivable Solutions
One of the most effective ways to improve accounts receivable is to implement automated solutions that streamline the payment collection process. Automated accounts receivable solutions can help reduce manual errors, improve efficiency, and provide real-time visibility into outstanding balances, payment history, and other key metrics.
Regularly Monitoring and Reporting on Accounts Receivable
To ensure the ongoing success of their AR management efforts, healthcare organizations should regularly monitor and report on their accounts receivable. This includes tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average accounts receivable days, payment collections rate, and denial rate, and analyzing trends to identify areas for improvement.
Compliance and Regulatory Requirements in Revenue Cycle Management
Understanding HIPAA and Other Regulatory Requirements
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is subject to a number of regulatory requirements, including HIPAA and other privacy and security laws. These laws are designed to protect patient information and ensure that healthcare organizations are handling personal and financial data in a secure and compliant manner.
Ensuring Compliance in RCM Processes
To ensure compliance with these regulations, healthcare organizations must implement robust policies, procedures, and technology solutions to secure and manage patient data. This includes using encrypted communication and storage, regularly monitoring and reporting on compliance activities, and conducting periodic risk assessments.
Implementing Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
Regular monitoring and reporting on compliance activities is a critical component of ensuring regulatory compliance in revenue cycle management. This includes tracking key metrics such as data breaches, HIPAA violations, and other regulatory incidents, and analyzing trends to identify areas for improvement.
Staying Up to Date with Regulatory Changes
Finally, healthcare organizations must stay up-to-date with changing regulations and adapt their RCM processes accordingly. This requires regular training and education, as well as investing in technology solutions that are designed to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
The Impact of Insurance Contracts on Revenue Cycle Management
Understanding Insurance Contracts: A key aspect of revenue cycle management is understanding the terms and conditions of insurance contracts. It is important to have a clear understanding of what services are covered and what the reimbursement rate is for each service.
Managing Insurance Contracts
Once you understand the terms of the insurance contract, it is important to manage it effectively. This includes regularly reviewing the contract, negotiating new terms, and renewing the contract as necessary.
The Impact of Insurance Contracts on RCM Metrics
Insurance contracts play a critical role in determining the financial health of a healthcare organization. An effective contract management system can result in improved RCM metrics such as higher reimbursement rates, reduced denial rates, and improved collections.
Negotiating and Renewing Insurance Contracts
Negotiating and renewing insurance contracts is a critical part of revenue cycle management. It is important to understand the negotiation process, identify key negotiation points, and have a clear strategy in place for renewing contracts.

“Contagion” is a 2011 American disaster thriller film that depicts a panic caused by a global pandemic of an unknown deadly virus infection, and the struggles of the people working in medical health organizations, as an ensemble drama by making use of the multi-narrative “hyperlink cinema” style.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh. 106 minutes.
American marketing executive Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) meets with her ex-boyfriend in Chicago on her way home from a Hong Kong business trip. Two days later, she suffers a seizure in her home in suburban Minneapolis. Her husband Mitch (Matt Damon) rushes her to the hospital. She dies from a previously unknown virus. Returning home, Mitch finds that his stepson, Clark, has also died. Mitch is isolated but found to be naturally immune. After being released, he isolates his teenage daughter, Jory, at home.
At the same time, a young man in Hong Kong, a model in London, and a businessman in Tokyo die, being infected by the novel virus. The virus rapidly spreads worldwide.
In Atlanta, Dr. Ellis Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dispatches Dr. Erin Mears (Kate Winslet), an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer, to Minneapolis. Mears tries to determine the source of the virus outbreak, but she herself is infected by the virus and dies.
As the novel virus spreads, several cities, such as Chicago and Minneapolis, are placed under lockdown, and it causes panic buying, looting, and violence.
At the CDC, Dr. Ally Hextall (Jennifer Ehle) determines the novel virus “MEV-1” is a combination of genetic material from pig and bat-borne viruses. Though scientists face difficulty cultivating the virus, which is necessary for the vaccine development, University of California researcher Dr. Ian Sussman finds a usable culture medium.
Conspiracy theorist Alan Krumwiede (Jude Law) blogs about the virus, and he spreads a false rumor that the infection can be cured by a homeopathic treatment using forsythia. Krumwiede is arrested for conspiracy and securities fraud, but he is released on bail because his sympathizers post bail.
Hextall succeeds in developing a vaccine. The CDC starts vaccinating the people in order of birth date determined by a random lottery.
In Hong Kong, World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiologist Dr. Leonora Orantes (Marion Cotillard) and public health officials discover that Beth is the index case who contracted the virus in a Macau casino. Government official Sun Feng kidnaps Orantes as a hostage to obtain MEV-1 vaccines for his home village.
“Contagion” is a disaster thriller film that realistically depicts what happens in the case of a global pandemic outbreak of a deadly virus, being based on scientific research, like a thought experiment or simulation.
It was inspired by events that actually happened, such as the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak and the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The pandemic depicted in the film bears some resemblance to the COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2019. So, it can also be seen as a forward-looking film that predicted the social situation after the COVID-19 pandemic.
