NAHAM AccessKeys® Pair with BridgeFront Education in New Partnership

Washington, DC—April16, 2015 – The National Association of Healthcare Access Management (NAHAM) is proud to announce a new, exclusive partnership to bring together the NAHAM AccessKeys® and BridgeFront’s Revenue Cycle and Patient Access online education program.

AccessKeys® consist of key performance indicators (KPIs) with corresponding benchmarks that allow users to evaluate their facility’s performance across five key areas: POS collections, Private-Pay Conversions, Process Failures, Productivity, and Quality.

BridgeFront provides outcomes-based education to help patient access professionals improve operational performance across all dimensions of the revenue cycle. Through this partnership, individuals who determine how their facility performs against the AccessKeys® benchmarks, can then take part in BridgeFront’s online learning. NAHAM members benefit from customized curriculums mapped to the AccessKeys® KPIs, and the ability to track and trend monthly data compared totheir education progress.

“We are excited about this exclusive partnership with BridgeFront,” states NAHAM President, Yvonne Chase. “By pairing AccessKeys® with BridgeFront’s online education we offer our members not only ways to assess their facilities against industry standards, but access to the tools and resources they need to make marked improvements in their performances.”

Tools to benchmark, track and improve performance over time are now available. For more information, visit or contact NAHAM directly at (202) 367-1125 or .
