Lean Six Sigma for HIM & RCM
Healthcare organizations are under constant pressure to deliver accurate, efficient, and compliant services while safeguarding revenue. Yet many Health Information Management (HIM) and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) teams struggle with coding errors, claim denials, and workflow inefficiencies that drain resources and delay reimbursement. This introductory course demonstrates how Lean Six Sigma (LSS) principles and methodologies can be applied directly to these challenges, equipping participants with a practical framework for improvement.
In this mini-course, learners will explore the core concepts of Lean Six Sigma—including the DMAIC methodology, waste reduction strategies, and data-driven decision making—through the lens of healthcare operations. Rather than theory alone, the course emphasizes real-world applications: identifying common bottlenecks in the revenue cycle, recognizing process variation in coding, and using measurement tools to pinpoint root causes of inefficiency.
Designed for busy professionals, the course delivers a concise, high-value learning experience. Participants will leave with actionable insights they can begin applying immediately to reduce denials, strengthen compliance, and improve financial outcomes.
Most importantly, this session serves as a gateway to deeper transformation. By highlighting the tangible impact of Lean Six Sigma on HIM and RCM, the course sets the stage for a full LSS evaluation—a comprehensive engagement that uncovers systemic opportunities for cost reduction, productivity gains, and sustainable process improvement.
