Interim Management
The past decade brought multiple changes for HIM professionals including ICD-10, the proliferation of EHRs, new privacy and security risks, and rapidly advancing value-based reimbursement models. As medical records quickly moved to digital—and payments shifted to value—traditional HIM roles have evolved.
Some hospitals and health systems find themselves lacking the coding and HIM leadership skills they need to keep up. From HIM Directors to Coding Managers, maintaining the correct levels of professional leadership is a complex conundrum for many revenue executives.

We’ll actively perform your most important HIM duties for any period—interim or long term. Based on your unique needs and specific HIM priorities, our directors and managers are available to:
- Bring DNFB to acceptable levels
- Identify areas of concern within HIM processes
