For hospital CFOs, VPs Rev Cycle, Directors PFS
The CMI.
A monthly read for hospital CFOs, VPs of Revenue Cycle, and Directors of Patient Financial Services. We named it after the metric most hospital finance teams watch closely. Each issue covers three industry shifts that affect hospital revenue, what they mean operationally, and what we're working on. About 5 minutes.
What you'll get in each issue.
Three stories per issue, focused on hospital revenue cycle leadership.
- IPPS and coding rule changes. DRG rate adjustments, severity rebalancing, CC/MCC capture shifts, with the math on what it means for your case mix.
- RAC audit and payer recovery news. Audit volume trends, extrapolation patterns, appeal win benchmarks.
- CDI and documentation updates. What's defensible in 2026, what's being clawed back, real-time prompt patterns we're seeing work.
- Hospital labor and AR benchmarks. Peer DSO data by hospital size, denial rates, working capital impact.
- What's new at ASP-RCM. CDI AI product updates, conferences we'll be at (HFMA, AHIMA), free hospital audit offers.
- One thing worth 30 minutes. A practical action you can take this week.
