AGPAM changes name, adds benchmarking
PFStats shows accounts receivable winners
The American Guild of Patient Account Management has changed its name to the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM).
The Washington, DC-based organization is a source of information on trends, legal and financial issues, and general business office management. Its publication, the Journal of Healthcare Administrative Management, is published quarterly.
Quarterly data available
As a member benefit, AAHAM is launching PFStats, an accounts receivable benchmarking program that will offer statistics on a quarterly basis.
