Research Collaborative
Connance operates an ongoing program of research in collaboration with leading healthcare providers across the nation. The primary goals are to foster new ideas, share experiences, and spur innovation. Research efforts are currently organized around three themes:
- quantifying the changing nature of the patient collections challenge
- identifying opportunities to improve the patient collection experience
- uncovering means to improve provider net cash performance
Benefits to participating providers include:
- Privileged access to research outputs.
- Top-line benchmark analysis of their institution’s patient collections performance.
- Input to Connance’s ongoing product development efforts.
- Priority access to product during pre-commercial periods.
- Invitation to Connance-sponsored meetings.
- Joining a community of other providers seeking patient collections improvement.
Connance's Research Collaborative is open to leading health systems throughout the U.S. Currently, participating institutions include a broad range of facilities, ownership types and collectively represent millions of patient encounters each year. There is no cost to participate in the collaborative, and the time commitment is up to each individual member.
