About Brianna
Brianna has led clients through financial and operational revenue cycle transformation for more than a decade, including system design and implementation, project management, process improvement and interim management.

Throughout her career, Brianna has:
- Transformed the perioperative charge methodology at a top children’s hospital from a room-based, time-block-based rate structure to a procedure-based, per-minute charge, resulting in an annualized net revenue gain of $8.8 million and improved margins during the COVID-19 disruptions for elective and minor procedure volumes.
- Consolidated five business offices into a single virtual business office and designed a new leadership organizational structure to support a regional community hospital system’s expansion.
- Optimized Epic denial definitions and mappings to accelerate $1.6 million in cash and reduce collections workforce needs by seven full-time equivalents at a nationally ranked women’s and children’s hospital.
- Designed a robotic process automation (RPA) use case for denials resolution and implemented the RPA solution to complete additional information requests without staff intervention at an acute care hospital in Texas.
