The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) announced the 2018 winners of the MAP Award for High Performance in Revenue Cycle, including three integrated delivery systems, two hospital systems, nine individual hospitals, two critical access hospitals, and six physician practices.  

HFMA’s MAP Award for High Performance in Revenue Cycle recognizes providers that have excelled in meeting industry standard revenue cycle benchmarks (MAP Keys®), implemented the patient-centered recommendations and best practices embodied in HFMA’s Healthcare Dollars & Sens^TM initiatives, and achieved outstanding patient satisfaction. Award recipients are acknowledged as industry leaders and share proven strategies with their colleagues.

“Kudos to our winners for their outstanding revenue cycle performance,” said HFMA President and CEO Joseph J. Fifer, FHFMA, CPA. “These organizations have connected the dots between consumerism and revenue cycle results. That’s a win-win approach for both consumers and providers.”
