True or False? Accountability for the Revenue Cycle are not usually fragmented and incentives are generally aligned with the health systems mission and financial goals? False The end-result is: 1.Sub-optimal financial outcomes and frustration among management and staff. 2.Difficulty changing behavior. 3.Management fails to focus on process and focuses on functional outcomes. 4.Responsibility and Authority are not vested in the same results.
