And how long will it take for us to see results? The revenue cycle lands at the top of the heap when it comes to quick but highly effective ways to accelerate revenue. It also plays a critical role in improving the patient experience and health of populations while reducing the cost of care.  By improving revenue cycle efficiencies, healthcare financial leaders can gain a vital "quick win" in their financial recovery timeline. I recently taught a 2-day HFMA seminar on [Revenue Cycle Essentials and KPIs](https://go.luminahp.com/risk-ready-organization-hfma-2020-lp) (key performance indicators). Here, I’ll summarize the challenges revenue cycle leaders are experiencing today, as well as key factors for success.  [Read More](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/managing-ambulatory-revenue-cycle) [![doctor holding a clipboard](https://www.luminahp.com/hubfs/doctor-1228627_1920.jpg) ](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/how-safe-is-your-primary-care-strategy-from-payviders) ## [How Safe is Your Primary Care Strategy From “Payviders”?](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/how-safe-is-your-primary-care-strategy-from-payviders) By [George Mayzell, MD, MBA](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/author/george-mayzell-md-mba) | Posted in [Financial Recovery](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/topic/financial-recovery), [Primary Care](https://www.luminahp.com/blog/topic/primary-care) Most health systems have invested heavily in primary care practices in the last decade. The good news is this strategy is paying off. Research shows that primary care providers are key to engaging patients, coordinating care, controlling costs and ensuring the best outcomes. For healthcare organizations, a strong primary care strategy is key to succeeding under value-based care.

These business transactions also have a direct effect on the most valuable asset any healthcare organization has: its employees. Although the human side of these transactions is seldom talked about, failing to address employee issues can be expensive in both cost and reputation, and can lead to unresolved conflict.
