2023 Together - PH332 - Nursing Roles Capable of Generating Untapped Revenue
Registered nurses (RNs) are typically viewed as expensive support staff in an ambulatory setting. However, the value of empowered RNs can be realized through several billing opportunities that are not often captured. The Integrated Memory Care Clinic has identified strategies to leverage not only the expertise of the RN but also the revenue generation opportunities of their role in preventive care and care coordination. This presentation will discuss the ways the Integrated Memory Care team has utilized the nursing team to generate approximately one-third of the clinic’s total monthly revenue.
