Hospital Costing and Health Coding Forum

The Hospital Costing and Health Coding Forum will focus on advancing activity based management for improved quality and performance.

Improving data is a common concern for all hospitals and a central point of discussion between health information, business/ data analysts, costing and coding professionals. Improving the integrity of patient data is more important than ever within an activity based environment.
