Black Book™ Announces Tenth Annual Revenue Cycle Management Technology and Outsourcing Solutions Top Client-Rated Honors

​​The highest-ranked vendors in customer satisfaction and client experience are announced by Black Book Research in 12 specific categories of RCM Software Tools and RCM Outsourcing Services. In total, 453 hospitals and inpatient organizations and 4,112 physician practices were represented in the sweeping Q2-Q4 2020 series of revenue cycle solution satisfaction polls.

Black Book™ surveyed hospital and health system Chief Financial Officers, vice presidents of finance and RCM, controllers, business office managers, financial support staff, consultants and corporate directors to determine the top-performing vendors among in-demand financial software, systems and outsourcing services, and assess the gaps and urgencies of RCM financial administration.

Additionally, 2,118 physician office business office managers and 767 outpatient, alternative care, clinics, long term care facilities, IDN physician practices, and ancillary facilities also submitted ballots and evaluated separately.

Black Book conducts polls and surveys with healthcare executives and front-line users about their current technology and services partners and awards top-performing vendors based on performance based on 18 indicators of client experience, loyalty and customer satisfaction.

“The latest wave of COVID-19 challenges accompanying the deferred shifts to value-based care find most providers uneasily navigating through empowering virtual health, initiating patient positive experiences and sinking margins," said Black Book's Managing Partner Doug Brown. "Revenue cycle management is now the most pressing strategic focus in health systems nationwide with system transformation vendors, solutions optimization consultants and RCM outsourcing firms in huge demand, as the industry confronts the effects of the pandemic on financial operations.”
