ThedaCare has been named as a recipient of the 2023 MAP Awards for High Performance in Revenue Cycle, sponsored by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (“HFMA”). In partnership with industry-leading revenue cycle management company Ensemble Health Partners, ThedaCare was recognized for meeting industry-standard revenue cycle benchmarks, implementing the patient-centered recommendations and best practices embodied in HFMA’s Healthcare Dollars & Sense® initiatives, and achieving outstanding patient satisfaction. This is the third year in a row that ThedaCare has been recognized with this honor.
The recognition closely aligns with ThedaCare’s mission to improve the health and well-being of the communities served, empowering individuals to live their best lives. ThedaCare is dedicated to protecting access to care, and improving patient experience through responsible financial performance.
“Population Health is about understanding the people in our communities, getting ahead of health events before they occur, and providing care immediately when health issues begin,” said Mark Thompson, ThedaCare Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer. “When we strive to advance overall community health, while lowering the total cost, we can impact the quality of care that is provided.”
Ensemble, the industry leader in revenue cycle management, has served as ThedaCare’s end-to-end revenue cycle outsourcing partner since 2019. The partnership drives financial performance in support of exceptional patient care.
“At Ensemble, we are committed to driving financial performance improvement for our clients, and we are honored to partner with health care providers like ThedaCare who are working to improve health care for their patients and communities,” said Judson Ivy, Founder, President and CEO of Ensemble. “This recognition reaffirms our shared commitment to redefining what is possible in revenue cycle management and calling attention to the impact of improved revenue cycle on the entire health system, including for the patient experience.”
Created by and for health care leaders, HFMA’s MAP initiative sets the standard for revenue cycle excellence in the health care industry. MAP is a comprehensive strategy that allows organizations to measure revenue cycle performance using the industry-standard MAP Keys; apply evidence-based strategies for improvement; and perform to the highest standards to improve financial results and patient satisfaction.
“There is important value when it comes to meeting industry-standard revenue cycle benchmarks, such as the ones measured through HFMA,” said Thompson. “Meeting the standards allows our system to monitor progress, growth and opportunities to continue meeting the needs of the communities we serve.”
Award recipients are acknowledged as industry leaders and share proven strategies with their colleagues. The award was formally presented on June 25 during the HFMA Annual Conference in Nashville, TN.
