What will the #HospitaloftheFuture look like? More importantly, what will it take to get there?  According to our latest Hospital of the Future, Part 2 report, 89% of healthcare finance professionals surveyed see technology innovation as one of the forces that will reshape healthcare the fastest.  But new technology alone won't solve healthcare's biggest challenges.  Where should hospitals invest? How do leaders measure success beyond financial ROI? And how can technology improve care without adding costs or complexity?  We asked healthcare executives who are making these decisions every day.  #HealthcareFinance #HFMA

The financial outcome is only part of the equation.  At @UChicagoMed, EVP and #CFO Chris Allen says innovation conversations start earlier: What problem are we solving? Can we improve quality, expand access or make care more efficient?  That thinking puts the financials in context instead of making them the starting point.  In the latest hfm cover story, healthcare finance and technology leaders discuss how they’re rethinking ROI as patient-facing innovation accelerates.  #HFMA #HealthcareFinance

Reduce healthcare costs. Not healthcare. That's the commitment we're asking leaders to make. The new Declaration on Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability is open for signatures. Will you add yours? #HealthcareAffordability

Sometimes it happens when you put yourself in front of a room full of peers. For Jessica Yard of @MayoClinic, presenting at HFMA has been an opportunity to grow professionally and personally, build meaningful connections and hear perspectives she might not have encountered otherwise. What could happen if you raised your hand? #HealthcareFinance #HFMA

Some of the most meaningful returns don’t fit neatly on a spreadsheet.  At @RushMedical, #CIO Jeff Gautney and his team have expanded virtual specialty care across more than 10 specialties, including cancer second opinions.  For patients looking for answers during some of the hardest moments of their lives, faster access can mean far more than convenience.  In the latest hfm, healthcare leaders share how they’re broadening the business case for patient-facing innovation.  #HFMA #HealthcareFinance

Moving into healthcare finance can come with a pretty steep learning curve. When James Jones, CHFP, CSBI, made the move from traditional finance into healthcare, HFMA education and certifications helped him build his healthcare knowledge and strengthen his career along the way. New industry. New knowledge. More possibilities. That’s #HFMA + James.

Revenue cycle improvement takes strategy, persistence and a team that keeps pushing the work forward.  If your organization has the results to show for it, the 2027 HFMA MAP Award is your opportunity to put that work in the spotlight.  Applications are open now.  #RevenueCycle #HealthcareFinance #HFMA

A technology investment can look promising on paper and still miss the mark.  At @OSFHealthCare, CFO Kirsten Largent says the real test is whether the investment supports the organization’s priorities — from patient experience and access to caregiver impact and long-term sustainability.  That broader view is reshaping how healthcare leaders think about ROI.  In the latest hfm cover story, healthcare leaders share how they’re broadening the business case for patient-facing innovation.  #HFMA #HealthcareFinance

Healthcare leaders are making decisions in an environment that can shift quickly.  For HFMA Chair Matthew E. Cox, FHFMA, CPA, #CFO at @CorewellHealth that makes peer insight even more valuable. Not because another organization has the exact answer, but because its experience can give you a better place to start.  In the latest hfm, Matt reflects on fresh thinking, candid conversations and the value of testing what might work in your own environment.  #HFMA #healthcarefinance
