The National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity’s (NAHRI) 2018 Revenue Integrity Symposium is a great opportunity to learn from and network with peers. There are many interesting and timely topics to be covered. I’m looking forward to many of my colleagues’ presentations and it’s difficult to single out just one; I’m also very excited about the sessions I’m participating in.
