When people think of heat in Arizona, it is usually in terms of how warm our climate is. But for those of us who live here, we know that from December through March, the evenings require heat and many of the days do, too. The functioning of your business depends highly on its space being comfortable, which is why you need to have a reliable commercial heater in your commercial space.

Whether you have a new building that needs a first–time heater installation or you need to replace an outdated commercial heating system, you want to work with experts from the very beginning of your process. Why? The first factor is advice concerning your options. Commercial property owners have more heating system choices than ever before, but not every system is going to be a good fit for you – let us help you find the right system for your property.

﻿ Can outsourcing providers meet the challenges posed by the US healthcare reforms - ValueNotes Strategic Intelligence
The healthcare industry is broadly divided into providers, payers and individuals, to whom the services are provided. The services that are rendered by third party vendors are classified into payer and provider services. The payer segment provides services such as data processing and transaction processing for insurance claims that are settled by insurers, i.e. the payers. Provider services are support services rendered to healthcare providers, i.e. hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare providers. Medical transcription, coding and billing, and accounting and follow up of dues also called revenue cycle management are the common services facilitated by outsourced vendors.
For the next decade or so, the US healthcare industry will be interesting to watch. With the objective of providing universal healthcare access to its citizens and streamline its healthcare system, the US government is spearheading several policy changes. It also intends to cut back on spiralling costs of an expensive healthcare system (at over $5,000 per capita, it is the most expensive in the world). Its healthcare system is also burdened by lack of resources, and an ageing population which further increases healthcare costs. Included in the healthcare legislation are laws that –
As these laws are implemented, there will be a growing need among healthcare providers to increase outsourcing. This need arises from a shortage of current resources for support services like data transaction, processing, coding and billing. Providers are therefore unable to upgrade to newer versions of software or compliance standards without some form of external assistance.

These include support services like revenue cycle management (RCM) including, data capture, billing, coding, and collection of payments. Healthcare vendors have already been moving up the value chain and providing higher end services like data analytics and accounts reconciliations. Some vendors have capitalised on regulatory changes and are even assisting providers with testing and software to implement electronic medical record systems. The following figure depicts the value chain of services as has evolved over the years in the RCM service chain:
We believe that the next few years are going to be critical in terms of RCM services which are especially likely to experience a ‘boom’. Vendors need to prepare themselves by increasing recruitment, training existing staff to new standards or versions, i.e. showcasing themselves as providers with the capability to help healthcare outsourcing buyers with their needs in light of the current changing environment.
Buyers, in turn need to evaluate the right vendor for their needs, and choose from a diverse and fragmented pool of vendors, the best fit. Some key points they need to evaluate include-
