Staying Financially Healthy

Hospitals Must Protect Revenue Cycle Capabilities to Limit COVID-19’s Financial Fallout

Any initial effort to meet the anticipated financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic must start with:

1. Revising financial performance targets, cash flow projections, and operational plans
2. Determine operational issues that can occur related to the COVID-19 outbreak that could negatively impact cash flow and overall performance
