Are your healthcare dashboards helping you identify performance gaps or are important opportunities being missed?

Healthcare organizations rely on Power BI and Excel dashboards to monitor physician productivity, revenue cycle performance, patient access, and financial results.

But effective dashboard design goes beyond displaying data. It's about making performance gaps, trends, and opportunities for improvement easier to recognize before they affect operational and financial performance.

Join Practical Data Solutions (PDS) for Designing Better Healthcare Dashboards for Power BI and Excel and explore five practical design techniques to make your healthcare reporting clearer, more actionable, and easier to understand.

Not every healthcare performance measure is best communicated with a traditional bar, line, or pie chart.

Sometimes a different approach can reveal variations, outliers, and trends that might otherwise be overlooked.

Join PDS to explore five practical dashboard design techniques, including ways to communicate healthcare performance more effectively in Power BI and Excel.

When does more information become less useful?

Recovering denied revenue matters. Preventing the next may matter even more. But do you know which denials your organization can actually prevent?

Better denial analytics can help uncover patterns by payer, procedure, and other operational factors—giving teams a clearer picture of where prevention efforts may have the greatest impact.

Join PDS for Working Smarter with Denials: Focusing on Prevention, Recovery, and Results to learn how denial data can help your organization move from reacting to denials toward identifying opportunities to prevent them.

When teams define, calculate, or interpret metrics differently, confidence in the reporting disappears quickly.

and analytics can play an important role in creating a consistent view of:
• Denial activity
• Recovery rates
• Effective net denial rates
• Financial impact
• Trends over time

Join PDS for Working Smarter with Denials: Focusing on Prevention, Recovery, and Results and explore how a stronger analytics foundation can help create denial reporting that business leaders can understand, trust, and use.

Is Your Denial Rate Telling You the Whole Story?

Healthcare organizations spend considerable time tracking denials, but are they measuring the right things?

Knowing how many claims were denied and the dollars involved is important. But those numbers alone don't tell you which denials are recoverable, where your staff should focus, or whether your prevention efforts are actually improving performance.

In fact, your denial rate could be telling you that performance is getting worse when it's actually improving.

Consider how denials are measured. Reporting denials by the month they're posted provides an important picture of current activity. But those denials may relate to claims submitted months earlier. When you match denials back to their original billing periods, a very different performance trend can emerge.

That distinction matters when you're evaluating operational improvements and measuring true denial recovery.

In PDS's webcast, Working Smarter with Denials: Focusing on Prevention, Recovery, and Results, Hendrickson explores how healthcare organizations can move beyond basic denial reporting to answer more valuable questions:
• Which denials can we directly prevent, and which can we only influence?
• Are we recovering the revenue associated with denied claims?
• Which payers and procedures represent the greatest financial opportunities?
• Are our prevention and recovery efforts actually improving results?

The webcast also demonstrates how analytics can identify high-dollar procedures with low recovery rates, uncover denial patterns across payers and specialties, and drill down to individual claims to help teams investigate opportunities.

The goal isn't to work every denial harder. It's to understand where your efforts can produce the greatest financial return.

In just 30 minutes, discover practical ways to turn denial data into better decisions about prevention, recovery, and resource allocation.

Not all are created equal.
Some represent significant lost revenue. Others may cost more to pursue than they're worth.

The challenge for Revenue Cycle, Finance, and Operations isn't simply knowing how many denials you have. It's knowing where to focus.

Which denials have the greatest financial impact?
Which are recoverable?
Where can prevention make a difference?
And where should your team spend its time?

Join PDS for Working Smarter with Denials: Focusing on Prevention, Recovery, and Results and learn how to use denial data to prioritize opportunities based on financial impact, not just denial volume.
