The importance of medical records to patient accounting.
Medical record processing delays can be significant and costly for hospitals. As hospitals seek to enhance financial performance through improved billing processes, medical record department functions should not be ignored. These functions can affect the financial performance of the institution in many ways. Successful hospitals will be those that actively manage these functions and integrate them with the billing process.
