While the iconic VLOOKUP function is probably the most popular lookup function, there are times when other options may be a better fit. Depending on the type of workbook, INDEX/MATCH or SUMIFS may offer some benefits. And, depending on the version of Excel you are using, XLOOKUP may be a wonderful option. Join us to learn the pros and cons of the key lookup functions and when to use each.

Do you ever import data into Excel, and then spend a bunch of time manually preparing it for use? Perhaps you delete extra columns or rows. Maybe you need to split a single column into multiple columns, or, combine multiple columns into a single column. The good news is that many of these transformations can be fully automated with Excel! Power Query is an incredibly powerful tool that, at a high level, helps us retrieve data from a variety of sources and prepare it for use. In this session, we’ll use Power Query to help with several common tasks, including flattening data, splitting and combining columns, formatting data, unpivoting summarized data, and combining several csv exports. If you frequently export/import data from one system to another, you will want to understand how to use Power Query to streamline your work. Learning objectives: (1) recall the steps to create a new query; (2) identify commands that transform data; and (3) state the process to return the transformed data to Excel.

Is CMS’ Pricing Transparency Rule keeping you up at night? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. The rule is top of mind for hospital leaders across the country as it leads to significant repercussions throughout the health care system. Preparation can be laborious and requiring staff wear many hats, but even at this late stage, it is still doable.
Meeting the January deadline and sustaining compliance will be no small feat for hospitals. CMS estimates each hospital will spend an average of 150 hours and nearly $12k to review and post its standard charges for 2021.
In this conference session, PatientMatters and Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital (MSLC) will join together to provide an overview of the ruling and requirements along with the strategies implemented and lessons learned as the hospital continues to prepare to meet the price transparency January deadline.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify factors considered in MSLC’s internal discussions regarding the CMS Pricing Transparency Final Rule and how to meet its regulations.
- Illustrate how MSLC will communicate/educate its patient community and staff on the steps it will take to meet the CMS price transparency rule regulations.
- Lessons learned as preparation for the pricing transparency deadline continues.

Do you love PivotTables? Of course, we all do! Traditional PivotTables are incredible … but, they do have limitations. If you have ever encountered one of these limitations, you’ll be excited to learn that by using Power Pivot, you’ll be able to bypass many of the restrictions that exist with traditional PivotTables. Power Pivot provides a new data source for PivotTables, and essentially combines the flexibility of formula-based reports with the PivotTable engine. Microsoft provides Power Pivot free for most editions of Excel for Windows 2010 and forward (currently, it is unavailable in Excel for Mac). In this session, we’ll explore Power Pivot and the data model, build PivotTables from multiple tables, create calculated columns, and write measures. If you frequently build PivotTables and would like to do more with them, you’ll want to understand how Power Pivot can enhance your reports and workflow. Learning objectives: (1) recall the steps to access the Power Pivot window; (2) identify the process to create table relationships; and (3) state the procedure for building named sets.

Event Details
Excel users have prepared reports the same way for decades … formulas and PivotTables. Typically, we export data from an accounting system, copy and paste it into an Excel workbook, clean and prepare it for use, and then use PivotTables and/or functions such as VLOOKUP and SUMIFS. But, that workflow is manual and slow. In this session, we’ll use Power Query and Power Pivot to improve our workflow. Specifically, we’ll use Power Query to get and shape external data. We’ll send the query results into the data model. We’ll use Power Pivot to organize tables and create measures and then use them as the source for PivotTable reports. If you frequently build formula-based or PivotTable reports, join this session to learn how Power Query and Power Pivot can help. Learning objectives: (1) identify which tool in Excel helps to import and transform data; (2) state the process for relating tables in Power Pivot; and (3) recall a benefit of using Power Query and Power Pivot when building PivotTables.

Week 5: Non-Compliance Costs More Than You Expect – Four Critical Tasks to Meet CMS Requirements
Today’s healthcare consumer presents new challenges for providers as patients continue to face increased responsibility in healthcare costs. This is forcing them to shop a service, which creates a need for meaningful and readily accessible price transparency. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Requirements set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2021, are presenting logistical challenges for providers. Navigating these regulations is a growing concern as the deadline fast approaches. This presentation focuses on interpreting the requirements, outlining the consequences of non-compliance and explaining the 4 critical tasks for compliance. We’ll also talk with providers about their journey to price transparency.

Week 4: How to Turn a CMS Mandate into a Competitive Advantage for 2021
It’s no secret that price transparency is at the top of every hospital leader’s minds as we transition into the new year. And CMS has made it clear: compliance date is January 1, 2021; penalties begin July 1, 2021. With many uncertainties and predictions in the market, hospital leaders are forced to act quickly on this legislation by turning to their key vendor partners for support. What should providers be thinking about as we move towards a new year? In this session, we’ll share key strategies for how hospital leaders can leverage this mandate as a critical first step in their digital transformation. You’ll learn strategies for differentiating your organization from the competition – to ensure that price transparency doesn’t lead to a margin-eroding race to the bottom for service prices. And we’ll examine how other providers have begun leveraging ecommerce tools to help them convert a price-shopping consumer to a loyal patient. As the deadline looms for hospitals to make pricing for common services transparent and “shoppable,” we’ll review how this can be integrated within your overall revenue cycle strategy for 2021.

Proactive Price Transparency: A Consumerism-Based Approach that Increases Revenue and Wins Patients
Forward-thinking hospitals are taking proactive measures to embrace price transparency by responding to patient demand for a digital experience and safety as accelerated by COVID-19. These market leaders are positioned to improve revenue capture, and increase patient volume, loyalty and satisfaction, by going beyond price transparency regulations to offer an enhanced digital patient experience.
Yet an analysis by Guidehouse Center for Health Insights reveals just 12% of 151 organizations surveyed are prepared for the January 2021 deadline. Many are hesitant to disclose their negotiated payer rates, while others lack the infrastructure.
Learn why providing patients with out-of-pocket cost estimates before the point of service not only helps to meet price transparency rules, it helps ease patient financial anxiety. We’ll uncover how delivering meaningful price transparency is a strategy for long-term revenue cycle performance success that is mutually beneficial for hospitals and patients.

Revenue cycle leaders have needed to quickly adapt to significant upheaval from the COVID-19 pandemic, not the least of which are the changes to the workforce. As we’ve adapted and managing a remote workforce has become the new standard, leaders need to effectively engage and manage their team – whether remote, in the office or a hybrid. At the same time, we must ensure office safety for those who are unable to work remote while creating a strategy to return to the office when appropriate.
Learning Objectives:
- Effectively engage and manage their workforce, which is likely physically dispersed.
- Maintain a safe office environment for those who cannot work remotely.
- Create a strategy to return to the office when appropriate.

The last decade has seen a seismic shift in the healthcare industry. Healthcare consumer expectations have changed, as has their relationship with the industry. Healthcare consumers want to manage their healthcare business online, and they expect a one-stop “Amazon-like” experience.
At the same time, there was a shift in payment responsibility from insurance to patient, which made it more challenging for provider to recover net revenue. Plus, many providers have fallen behind the technology curve and are unprepared to provide the seamless, online convenience consumers want.
Fortunately, there is a solution. Providers can onboard a digital engagement solution that both provides patients with an all-in-one financial experience and significantly enhances recovery rates and increases cash flow. One provider that integrated sch a solution saw improved contact and payment rates that exceeded their average recovery by 20% within the first few months.

Event Details
The difficulty of collecting patient balances is an ongoing reality for revenue cycle leaders. With COVID-19 forcing millions of people out of work, self-pay balances are at even greater risk as consumers tighten their purse strings and reprioritize expenses. This presents a dilemma for providers in their local communities: how to ethically pursue patient balances while demonstrating empathy and understanding of the situation? This webinar will examine self-pay collection strategies that provide a transparent and patient-friendly billing experience during the pandemic and beyond.
