    Study Notes

    The Need for a Financial Operating System for Healthcare

    • Healthcare providers lack insight into their finances, including payment amounts, timing, and discrepancies.
    • The electronic health records (EHR) system serves as the clinical truth, but a financial source of truth does not exist.
    • The revenue cycle management (RCM) process is complex and involves multiple intermediaries, leading to payment discrepancies and confusion.
    • Healthcare providers face financial pain points, including cash flow management, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
    • The lack of healthcare-specific systems for accounting and financial planning is due to the flow of funds.
    • A financial operating system (OS) for healthcare could act as a real-time, action-oriented engine that ingests financial data and becomes the financial system of record for the practice.
    • The financial OS could provide predictive analytics to surface opportunities for improvement and become a trusted source of truth for lenders, vendor partners, and insurance companies.
    • The financial OS could integrate adjacent financial products, such as business bank accounts, credit cards, expense management, and patient financing.
    • The financial OS could re-orient the focus of the EHR and care from billing to patient outcomes.
    • Fintech infrastructure makes it easier for non-bank entities to offer financial services to existing customers, driving higher LTV with no incremental CAC.
    • Either software or financial services could be viable for an initial go-to-market approach for the financial OS for healthcare.
    • Building in the healthcare x fintech space becomes more critical to the health of the system as a whole as healthcare takes up more of the nation's GDP while relying on disconnected, outdated financial rails.
