2019 U.S. Health System Patient Access Market Share Study

$1,500.00

In August of 2019, Eliciting Insights conducted a survey of Revenue Cycle executives with deep knowledge of Patient Access at over 150 health systems across the country. Health systems were questions on revenue cycle priorities, Patient Access pain points, technology buying trends, and then asked specifically if their health system performs key Patient Access functions, and if the functions were done manually or utilizing technology. If technology is used, they were then asked about the specific vendor. This report details the findings of that study.

This report provides a detailed look at twenty six areas of the Patient Access workflow. For each function, we provide a description of the function, market share by vendor, percent of the market that does not utilize technology and the ability to view by specific Patient Accounting/Registration vendor.
