What We Deliver
Healthcare leaders do not need more activity. They need better performance - measured as outcomes.

The 2026 HFMA Region 2 Annual Conference takes place October 14–16 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York. The conference theme, “Building Bridges Forward: Connected for Success,” brings healthcare finance, revenue cycle, operations, technology and leadership professionals together around challenges that cannot be solved within one function. For finance and revenue cycle leaders, the practical value lies in connecting operating decisions to financial consequences: where fragmented workflows create rework, where technology adds capacity, and where governance determines whether improvement lasts.
The published conference description emphasizes collaboration, shared perspectives and innovation across the healthcare ecosystem. Attendees can use that broad mandate to pressure-test how their organizations manage revenue integrity, denials, workforce constraints and technology-enabled change. The goal is not to collect isolated ideas, but to leave with clearer choices about performance, ownership and execution.
Matthew Curry, CRCR, Strategic Client Growth Director at Vee Healthtek, will attend the conference. Meet with him to trace where performance breaks down across functions and explore how First-Pass Performance, technology-enabled workflows, and Open Accountability can reduce rework, strengthen cash flow and improve revenue cycle performance without taking control away from the provider.
Higher cash collections do not prove the revenue cycle is becoming easier to run. Compare how organizations trace manual touches, exceptions and avoidable handoffs back to their source. Reducing cost to collect requires leaders to distinguish productive capacity from labor that repeatedly repairs preventable defects.
Effective appeals may recover revenue while the same denials continue entering inventory. Use cross-functional perspectives at Region 2 to clarify which access, documentation, coding and payer issues recur most often. First-Pass Performance shifts attention upstream, where stronger controls can prevent avoidable work and protect earned reimbursement.
Technology creates value when it removes work, improves decision speed and strengthens financial control. Compare where automation resolves an issue end to end versus routing another exception to staff. A governed revenue cycle technology ecosystem should reduce fragmentation while preserving clear intervention points for complex work.
Cross-functional alignment weakens when commitments are broad but performance ownership is unclear. Translate conference ideas into named decisions, measurable outcomes and an operating cadence that exposes missed handoffs early. Open Accountability keeps responsibilities and results inspectable while healthcare providers retain authority over priorities, risk and change.
Use the form to connect with Matthew Curry at HFMA Region 2 and share the operating or financial tension your organization needs to resolve.
