title: Tracking in-house accounts receivable can identify potential problems.
abstract: Developing a program to track in-house accounts receivables can help hospitals identify cases that may result in bad debt or charity care write-offs. A case management approach that includes analysis of patients' financial, social, and clinical information will allow hospitals to work ahead of problems rather than behind them.
