Solving Purchased Services Complexities: How OSF HealthCare Automated Cost Controls

Most health systems rely on invoice audits to recover losses from purchased services overpayments, essentially paying contingency fees to recover your own money. It's a reactive cycle that costs time, margin, and organizational trust.

This executive focus group, led by Dave Fergus from OSF HealthCare, explores how leading health systems are breaking that cycle. We'll discuss how pre-payment contract enforcement - validating invoices against negotiated terms before money leaves the organization - surfaces exceptions early, strengthens financial controls, and protects margins in real time.

You'll leave with:
•    Practical insight into implementing automated cost controls at scale
•    Perspectives from peers facing the same operational and financial pressures
•    An understanding of how to shift your system from reactive recovery to proactive prevention
