In this informative episode of RCM Reframed, host Shawn Gretz, President, Sales and Marketing for GetixHealth, and John Hopkins Medicine Vice President of Revenue Cycle, Sharlene Seidman discuss a variety of topics from leaving a 28-year career for a new position to what separates good revenue cycle organizations from world-class organizations. They also talk about leader-employee pairing, succession planning, silo-breaking and more.

Key Topics Covered

  • Why the right-seat/wrong-leader diagnostic matters more than replacing underperformers
  • How to use stretch assignments (like patient financial experience) as leadership development laboratories
  • Why internal mobility is a retention strategy, not a flight risk
  • Why rev cycle silos are especially damaging when the work is full of loops, not linear handoffs
