Healthcare leaders do not need more activity. They need better performance - measured as outcomes.
The HFMA Washington-Alaska Fall Conference takes place October 13-14, 2026, at Northern Quest Resort & Casino in Airway Heights, Washington. The chapter describes its work around connection, collaboration, growth, education and leadership development. For healthcare finance executives, that creates a useful setting to compare how peers are protecting cash, controlling operating cost and converting technology investment into measurable results.
The chapter’s published presentation archive also shows recurring attention to revenue cycle leadership, collaboration between finance and revenue cycle, pricing transparency, cybersecurity, population health and rural care. Rather than arrive with a broad list of challenges, bring one financial outcome that remains under pressure and the workflow evidence behind it. That makes each conversation more specific and more useful.
Michael Bohaboy, Director of Strategic Client Growth at Vee Healthtek, will attend the conference. Connect with Michael to compare where rework is consuming capacity, which upstream controls can strengthen first-pass performance, and how open accountability can make ownership, results and next actions visible.
A stronger discussion starts before the denial, underpayment or aged balance appears. Compare how organizations connect patient access, prior authorization, clinical documentation integrity and medical coding to the eventual cash outcome. The goal is to identify which correction can be prevented, not merely completed faster.
Ask where automation changes touch counts, exception volume, turnaround time and cost to collect. Compare the operating controls behind revenue cycle technology, electronic health record integrations and the ability to scale with technology. A pilot matters when it improves a defined financial or operational result without creating a new queue of exceptions.
Shared metrics should reveal where cash slows, why performance varies and who owns the corrective action. Useful comparisons include programs to accelerate cash, reduce revenue leakage, improve revenue integrity and reduce cost to collect. Evidence should connect governance to outcomes, as shown in Vee Healthtek case studies on physician enterprise A/R reduction, a zero-backlog operating cadence and DRG validation.
Bring the decision, baseline and operating constraint that matter most. Use the conference to test whether peers are solving the issue through workflow redesign, governed technology, stronger measurement or a different partnership model.
Share the outcome under pressure and the workflow behind it. Meet Michael Bohaboy to examine where upstream accuracy, visible ownership and disciplined execution could change the result.
Continue exploring expert perspectives, industry trends, and practical strategies for improving revenue cycle performance.

Start with one financial result that remains under pressure, such as cash acceleration, revenue leakage, denials or cost to collect. Bring the metric, its operating context and the point where rework first appears. This makes it easier to compare root causes, governance and corrective actions with peers.
First-pass performance focuses on completing work correctly upstream before downstream teams must correct it. In revenue cycle management, that can mean stronger eligibility, authorization, documentation, coding and claim controls. The practical test is whether those controls reduce repeat touches and improve the financial result.
Open accountability makes performance, ownership and corrective action visible. It gives healthcare providers a clearer view of what changed, why it changed and who owns the next step. That visibility helps distinguish activity reporting from accountable execution.
