We were proud to have our Senior Director of Market Strategy, Dana Finnegan, featured in Health IT Answers’ expert roundup, The Business and Finance of Healthcare in 2026. Alongside leaders from PointClickCare, Experian Health, Arcadia, and dozens of other prominent health IT organizations, Dana shared her outlook on what the coming year will demand from revenue integrity teams. Her contribution ties the accelerating pace of hospital consolidation directly to the rising payer scrutiny and denial rates documented in our 2025 Benchmark Report, making the case that leadership navigating newly merged entities will need to rethink revenue integrity as a strategic function rather than a back-office compliance exercise.
Dana’s prediction points to expanded deployment of pre-bill revenue integrity solutions, predictive analytics, autonomous coding, and continuous risk monitoring tools as the capabilities health systems will lean on to scale effectively and protect revenue in an increasingly complex environment. It is a forward-looking perspective grounded in the real-world data we see across our network every day, and we are glad it reached the broad audience of healthcare finance and business leaders that Health IT Answers serves.
