KPG Revenue Cycle Services will be at GE Centricity CLIVE 2015 in Orlando, Florida from April 29 thru May 3, 2015.

This year she is speaking on a topic that came out of discussions from last years attendees: how do you measure productivity in the billing office?

Plan to join Kathy on Friday, May 1 at 8 AM at CLIVE for " Optimizing Your Billing Office Staff".

Stephen Stoyko from KPG Revenue Cycle Management will be speaking on Saturday, May 2 at 9:45 AM on "Appointment-to-Payment: Using Process Mapping to Increase Practice Productivity". Stephen brings his expertise in process improvement to address questions we are challenged with everyday in the revenue cycle.

Your Virtual Account Manager

Centricity Group Management� customers no longer have the safety net known as an Account Manager. We came to depend on this great group of dedicated people to coach us thru the new releases, to guide us to the correct resources, to answer questions on how the product functioned and to assist us in pulling together state and regional user group meetings. They were there to hold our hand thru the challenges that every practice faces in dealing with their practice management system, the industry and the myriad other stakeholders we deal with each day.

Without these forums, we at KPG RCM are seeking alternatives to help you continue to grow in your knowledge and use of Centricity Group Management. Hence to be Your Virtual Account Manager.

We will put tips and tricks in this corner. We will also be sending out a survey to ask you what you miss most about your Account Manager and how we might help get the state user groups moving again.

We often fail in our projects because of our lack of understanding of what it takes to complete a project successfully. By incorporating a few basic principles, you can bring your projects in on time and within budget!

We often think Project Management is for engineering or software projects. On the contrary, the principles of Project Management can be applied to all types of projects and we in health care would benefit greatly from learning to use these in our projects.
