Shortly after COVID-19 arrived in the United States, the National Rural Health Association’s Senior Vice President Brock Slabach stated, “The pandemic has shined a bright light on the widening fractures that exist in the rural health safety net.”1 Indeed, the unprecedented economic and public health trials facing rural communities and their health care delivery systems are daunting. Developing a meaningful plan to protect and improve the health of rural people and strengthen rural health care delivery systems during this time requires insight from those working on the front lines in these communities – hospital administrative and governance leaders, clinicians, public health leaders: your peers. Most importantly, it must also include the collective voice of rural patients, people who have personally experienced and have been impacted by initial response efforts.

While it’s estimated that hospitals lose $262 billion a year from insurance denials — which is about nine percent of all healthcare transactions1 — it’s possible to eliminate the majority of preventable and avoidable denials and increase revenue by implementing a comprehensive denial management strategy.

Nearly a decade has passed since the U.S. government introduced the concept of electronic health records (EHRs) meaningful use as a determining factor for Medicare payments to hospitals and providers. And yet, despite the widespread installation of EHR systems, a significant percentage of facilities still struggle to attain universal EHR adoption by their physicians and other providers.
