The healthcare revenue cycle includes a diverse biosphere of professionals—in many instances, including CDI. Like any revenue cycle, those working in healthcare administration track their facilities expenses against incoming finances in order to ensure the viability of the overall organization.

In recent years, however, hospitals and healthcare systems began to re-imagine this system into a full-circle department which looks to ensure the integrity of each piece of the overarching financial universe for their organization. In August 2017, ACDIS’ sister organization the National Association for Healthcare Revenue Integrity (NAHRI—pronounced nah-ree) was founded to help revenue integrity professionals enhance the profession through standards, advocacy, networking, and the promotion of shared knowledge and resources.

To that end, NAHRI is holding its first Revenue Integrity Week, a national week of recognition for revenue integrity professionals, June 3–9.
