As cybersecurity incidents increase across U.S. healthcare, the recent <\/span>breach<\/span><\/a> affecting Oracle Health\u2019s Cerner systems has brought the issue of revenue cycle resilience to the forefront for providers.<\/span><\/p>\n

What started as a cybersecurity issue has turned into a financial crisis for hospitals, practices, and health systems that rely on steady claims processing and payer workflows.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
