Drivers for Sustainable Revenue Cycle Performance Improvement

Access to care

PwC can help remove barriers to care through digital enablement/automation, transforming the patient experience for our clients. We work with providers to identify multiple access channels for patients to make finding the right care and monitoring their health easy.

Workforce of the future & virtual interactions 

As healthcare becomes increasingly digitized, providers must invest in their digital infrastructure to keep up with competitive market demands and virtual working arrangements. PwC partners with clients to enable a more productive workforce through automation, virtual working arrangements and the development of virtual provider-patient interfaces.

Leveraging technology

PwC champions provider transformation through operationally led and technologically enabled initiatives. PwC helps both traditional and non-traditional healthcare providers assess and manage their technology vendor relationships while offering robust support models from design to implementation.

Patient financial journey & price transparency

Amidst the competitive healthcare landscape and changing regulatory requirements, price transparency is a critical factor driving patients' choices within the healthcare market. PwC helps providers incorporate technology solutions that enable patients to review insurance and self-pay prices for services rendered, increasing transparency and instilling trust.

Revenue cycle performance & cost containment 

As scale and innovation push revenue cycles to greater levels of efficiency and output, the search for incremental value must be guided by an organization's goals and driven by quantitative measurement. PwC can help organizations manage costs strategically while also working to fuel long-term growth.

Additional PwC support services

In addition to core revenue cycle services, PwC’s revenue cycle management practice collaborates with other business segments across platforms to facilitate broad-scale transformation for healthcare provider organizations.

For providers considering mergers, acquisitions and/or financial restructuring, PwC’s Deals practice, in partnership with revenue cycle management, can help guide providers through complex financial decision-making.

As providers may struggle to keep up with changing regulatory environments, PwC’s Health Industries Risk and Regulatory practice can help ensure the proper identification and application of quality and regulatory control points within new and existing revenue cycle processes and technology.

Leveraging our Fit for Growth (FFG) Model, PwC's Revenue Cycle team can support healthcare organizations to re-assess strategic priorities across the value chain to cut costs and grow stronger at the same time. Through FFG assessments, PwC helps healthcare organizations identify differentiating capabilities needed to thrive in competitive operating environments to pave the way for sustainable, long-term growth.
