title: Hospital receivables management: the hidden receivable.
abstract: When patient claims are delayed in their availability to Patient Accounting for billing, these delays can add to an organization's outstanding receivables. By controlling the inter-system processes more carefully, the financial department can target windows of opportunity to reduce the hospital's overall receivables.
