Every hospital lives or dies by a cycle most of its leaders were never taught to read: the journey from a patient's bedside to the bank. From Bedside to Bank is the complete, plain-English guide to hospital revenue cycle management for the people accountable for it — executives, finance and operations leaders, and the teams who run registration, coding, billing, claims, denials, and reconciliation.Written for practitioners rather than specialists, it walks the money's full journey across the three systems every hospital runs, decodes the KPIs that actually matter, and turns denials, underpayments, and leakage into problems you can see and fix. Each chapter closes with what to do on Monday. If revenue integrity is your responsibility, this is the reference you'll keep within reach.
