Southampton Hospital is a 125-bed community hospital located in the East End of Long Island in New York. The hospital offers a full range of outpatient and inpatient services, is an affiliate of Stony Brook Medicine, and has been awarded numerous national awards for exceptional care and patient safety.
Challenge
Southampton’s revenue cycle had not been a primary focus for many years. Hospital leadership knew of multiple issues, but didn’t know where they should start. In addition, the hospital’s chargemaster coordinator was retiring and the hospital’s seasonal location meant recruitment of her replacement would be difficult.
