HFMA

Jessica Vogen joined HFMA for the networking. Then something happened: the more people she met, the more involved she became. Eventually, networking turned into an opportunity to give back to the same community that welcomed her in. That’s the difference between making connections and truly finding community. That’s #HFMA + Jessica.

Your next career move starts with a connection.  HFMA's Emerging Leaders Mentoring Program brings together rising #healthcarefinance professionals and experienced leaders to exchange insights, build leadership skills and open doors to new opportunities.  Want to see where mentoring can take you?  Join our informational webinar November 3 at 2 p.m. CT to discover how the program works, what you'll gain and how to participate as a mentor or mentee.  Register for the webinar: hubs.ly/Q04CHxz40

Meet Colin 👋 Community Member Spotlight For Colin Quincy, healthcare finance is about more than understanding the numbers. It’s about helping people make sense of them. As chief accounting officer at @Intermountain, Colin knows that navigating healthcare finance takes curiosity, collaboration and a willingness to keep learning. Through HFMA, he's found a network of peers who understand the challenges, share practical ideas and help one another make better decisions. Colin is one of many professionals engaging in HFMA’s Community to: 💡 Connect with peers who understand the complexities of healthcare finance 💡 Exchange ideas and learn from shared challenges 💡 Stay current through education, industry insights and professional connections 💡 Bring practical solutions back to their teams and organizations His advice for those entering the field? Learn the fundamentals, but stay curious.

What will the #HospitaloftheFuture look like? More importantly, what will it take to get there?  According to our latest Hospital of the Future, Part 2 report, 89% of healthcare finance professionals surveyed see technology innovation as one of the forces that will reshape healthcare the fastest.  But new technology alone won't solve healthcare's biggest challenges.  Where should hospitals invest? How do leaders measure success beyond financial ROI? And how can technology improve care without adding costs or complexity?  We asked healthcare executives who are making these decisions every day.  #HealthcareFinance #HFMA

The financial outcome is only part of the equation.  At @UChicagoMed, EVP and #CFO Chris Allen says innovation conversations start earlier: What problem are we solving? Can we improve quality, expand access or make care more efficient?  That thinking puts the financials in context instead of making them the starting point.  In the latest hfm cover story, healthcare finance and technology leaders discuss how they’re rethinking ROI as patient-facing innovation accelerates.  #HFMA #HealthcareFinance

Reduce healthcare costs. Not healthcare. That's the commitment we're asking leaders to make. The new Declaration on Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability is open for signatures. Will you add yours? #HealthcareAffordability

Sometimes it happens when you put yourself in front of a room full of peers. For Jessica Yard of @MayoClinic, presenting at HFMA has been an opportunity to grow professionally and personally, build meaningful connections and hear perspectives she might not have encountered otherwise. What could happen if you raised your hand? #HealthcareFinance #HFMA

Some of the most meaningful returns don’t fit neatly on a spreadsheet.  At @RushMedical, #CIO Jeff Gautney and his team have expanded virtual specialty care across more than 10 specialties, including cancer second opinions.  For patients looking for answers during some of the hardest moments of their lives, faster access can mean far more than convenience.  In the latest hfm, healthcare leaders share how they’re broadening the business case for patient-facing innovation.  #HFMA #HealthcareFinance

Moving into healthcare finance can come with a pretty steep learning curve. When James Jones, CHFP, CSBI, made the move from traditional finance into healthcare, HFMA education and certifications helped him build his healthcare knowledge and strengthen his career along the way. New industry. New knowledge. More possibilities. That’s #HFMA + James.
