This four‑hour, expert‑led course provides a deep, practical, and strategic understanding of the entire RCM continuum, from patient scheduling to final collections. The curriculum will include a module on Work Relative Value Units (wRVUs) helping participants understand how provider productivity is measured, how wRVUs tie to revenue and compensation, and how documentation quality directly impacts wRVU generation. This section empowers both physicians and administrators to interpret wRVU data, benchmark performance, identify documentation and coding gaps, and ensure compensation models are fair and sustainable. This course is designed for physicians and practice administrators, with clear emphasis on how clinical decision‑making, documentation, and workflow design directly affect financial performance.
