Leaders from Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Mount Carmel Health System and XIFIN to Explore Strategies to Transform Lab Financial Performance in HFMA Webinar


In an upcoming Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) member webinar, industry experts Jane Hermansen, Manager, Outreach and Network Development at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, and Emily Adams, Director of Outpatient Laboratory at Mount Carmel Health System, will join Mike Fauver, Associate Vice President of Health Systems at XIFIN, to discuss proven strategies that can transform labs from expense-driven environments into profit centers. During this September 14 webinar, these experts will explore current roadblocks, initiatives and tools for organizational success that attendees can apply to their own operational strategies.

This indicates to public health leaders that the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic will continue into the fall and signals to labs that high caseloads and the various challenges labs have faced to meet testing demands, including capacity and staffing, are not over. In fact, lab testing volumes are nearly 2X baseline with COVID-19 testing representing approximately 42 percent of volume, as reported by XIFIN's Lab Volume Index. This behavior accentuates the importance of keeping laboratories strong and why optimal activity is crucial to maintaining a financially viable health system.

"Achieving financial stability requires a holistic approach, including automation and system connectivity," said Mike Fauver, AVP of Health Systems at XIFIN. "A successful lab outreach program also provides health systems with a means to increase client and patient engagement and improve both patient outcomes and revenue growth. Only by considering all these elements will lab organizations reach their goals."

During the webinar, "Why Lab Finances are Critical and How to Transform Performance," attendees will learn more about implementing the right strategies and technologies to boost revenue and rein in operating costs, while safeguarding crucial compliance requirements, and:
