Making Payment Part of Your Digital Front Door: Four Insights

Thursday, April 20 at 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM CT
South Building, Level 1 | S105A

In the rush to open healthcare’s digital front door, some organizations forgot to include a crucial component: digital options for healthcare payment—the last step in the patient experience. When this piece is missing or incomplete, the result is a disjointed patient financial encounter that not only slows down collections, but also threatens patient satisfaction and loyalty. This session will share why digital payment is a necessary component for healthcare digital success. The speaker will discuss Atrium’s journey and approach to digital payment, financing and account management and the lessons learned along the way.
