June 25 2024 - 10:48AM
Ensemble Health Partners, the market leader in end-to-end revenue
cycle outsourcing for mid-sized to large healthcare organizations,
in support of healthcare provider clients across the country, has
been named a recipient of five 2024 MAP Awards for High Performance
in Revenue Cycle, sponsored by the Healthcare Financial
Management Association (“HFMA”). The recognition demonstrates
Ensemble’s continued commitment to helping healthcare providers
meet and exceed industry-standard revenue cycle benchmarks,
implement the patient-centered recommendations and best practices
embodied in HFMA’s Healthcare Dollars & Sense® initiatives and
achieve outstanding patient satisfaction.
Award recipients are acknowledged as industry leaders and share
proven strategies with their colleagues. The award was formally
presented to these health systems on June 24 during the HFMA Annual
Conference in Las Vegas, NV:
- Ballad Health (Johnson City,
TN)
- Covenant Health (Tewksbury,
MA)
- Roper St. Francis
Healthcare (Charleston, SC)
- ThedaCare (Neenah, WI)
- Union Health (Terre Haute,
IN)
This is the sixth year in a row that Ensemble, in support of
healthcare providers, has been named a MAP Award for High
Performance in Revenue Cycle Winner. Uniquely, every health system
recognized in 2024 is an Ensemble client. This is the fourth year
in a row ThedaCare has been recognized with this honor and the
third year in a row for Ballad Health and Covenant Health. This is
the first time Roper St. Francis and Union Health have received
this recognition.
Bon Secours Mercy Health and The Christ Hospital Health Network,
in partnership with Ensemble, were recognized with the 2024 HFMA
MAP Certificates of Revenue Cycle Achievement.
“We are honored to again receive these HFMA MAP Awards in
partnership with five outstanding healthcare provider partners,”
said Ensemble Founder, President and CEO Judson Ivy. “This
recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering a frictionless
revenue cycle with exceptional results and improved financial
outcomes so healthcare providers can focus on delivering the best
care to their patients. By deploying best practices, data-rich
intelligence and expert operational management we help our clients
deliver on their missions and make a true impact in their
communities.”
Ensemble manages $32 billion in annual net patient revenue,
partnering with more unique health systems than any other firm to
improve revenue cycle performance through end-to-end managed
services. Ensemble focuses on delivering value quickly and
sustaining high performance, meeting 100% of year-one client goals,
exceeding 102% of year-one cash collections and delivering 5%
average net revenue improvement each year across clients.
The decision to partner with an experienced firm to manage
end-to-end revenue cycle operations is an increasing trend among
healthcare executives looking to solve critical business issues and
position their organizations for long-term success. According to
a recent survey of healthcare executives, 95% said they would
consider end-to-end managed services to solve critical business
challenges and 60% said it was important to partner with a single
firm rather than multiple different vendors.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for the 22nd time
and are honored to play a role in helping our clients provide a
better healthcare experience for their patients and communities. We
deliver the best, and that’s why healthcare providers are turning
to us for results,” said Shannon White, Ensemble’s Chief Operating
Officer. “We are also incredibly proud of our more than 10,000
passionate and dedicated associates that work together to deliver
outstanding results to our clients.”
Created by and for healthcare leaders, HFMA’s MAP initiative
sets the standard for revenue cycle excellence in the healthcare
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.
“These organizations have demonstrated their commitment to
putting patients first when it comes to their billing and payment
practices,” said HFMA President and CEO C. Ann Jordan, J.D.
“Congratulations to all of the 2024 MAP Award winners for serving
as role models for the field.”
This announcement comes on the heels of several other recent
accomplishments for the firm, including its HITRUST
Risk-Based, 2-year certification for its commitment to strong
cybersecurity and protecting sensitive data, Ensemble’s tenth
U.S. patent for its latest innovative technology, its expanded
partnership with Microsoft to accelerate continued innovation
of EIQ, and its partnership with Epic in the newly
launched Epic Rev Cycle Partners program. This also marks the
fourth year for Ensemble being ranked #1 in KLAS for
end-to-end revenue cycle outsourcing by healthcare executives.
These accomplishments are a testament to Ensemble’s position as the
leading RCM firm in the industry, underscoring its ability to
operate consistently high-performing revenue cycle operations, meet
or exceed client expectations, and enable healthcare organizations
to deliver exceptional care in their communities.
