Business office directors and CFOs will benefit and gain a clear understanding of the correlation between coder productivity and the revenue cycle. Consultants will use the strategies presented to help their clients build stronger, more efficient coding processes. During her 25 year career Rose Dunn, FHFMA, RHIA, CPA, CHPS, FACHE, has had more than 200 articles published, is a sought after public speaker on a variety of healthcare subjects, and has authored books on legal aspects, finance, and management.
