In September 2020, KIWI-TEK hosted a customer roundtable discussion with several revenue cycle and health information management (HIM) experts regarding their COVID-19 challenges, solutions, and lessons learned. The objective was to build a better understanding of how HIM and revenue cycle professionals met the unforeseen challenges of 2020, and how their experiences framed perspectives for the future.
