Lifting Revenue Cycle Performance with Jim Gaffney

Over the past several years, the healthcare industry and the inspiring leaders working within it have experienced increased clinical, operational, administrative, and economic strain. And, of course, this collective strain has only been further exacerbated by the global pandemic.

However, because of leaders like our next guest, I remain hopeful and optimistic that we can positively impact and reimagine the health of the healthcare industry.
