SE CIO that was a nice article I like those Ideas. I appreciate the honesty about picking up a day on the claims hold. I am tired of RCM companies trying to say the entire claim run is their savings. I think your numbers are pretty reasonable too, but I guess that comes from the fact that you actually have done what you said. Either way looks good. Karl,

Those were all great savings ideas. Even in better economic times, I've always liked finding more ways to save more resources. It's just good stewardship, and it generally benefits everyone. It would be a "dream job" for me to spend all my time discovering ways to simplify, streamline, clarify, and mostly reduce barriers and costs within an organization. In the '50s we had “Efficiency Experts”, and in the ‘80s & 90s it was Business Process Reengineering (sorta). Today, I think it’s more of an assumed role for each manager within their own realm, although they have precious little time to devote the proper focus. I’m sure this economy will give birth to ever new paths. Thank you, SE CIO. Those were all great savings ideas.
