"One day I was fine. The next day, I was facing the reality of open-heart surgery. I had zero symptoms, no pain, and no warning signs, yet a proactive decision to request a simple heart scan quite literally saved my life. As I approach my 60th birthday, I’m sharing my journey from a routine test to a life-saving discovery to remind our RCM CommUnity: sometimes the most critical risks are the ones that stay silent."

LinkedIn is a visibility engine, not a passive feed. In a CommUnity of more than 740,000 Revenue Cycle professionals, engagement with career announcements is intentional. Here’s why acknowledging new roles matters and why RCR|HUB tracks leadership movement every month.

December’s Shakers & Movers list closes out the year with a wave of meaningful Revenue Cycle leadership changes across hospitals, health systems, physician enterprises, cancer centers, and specialty organizations. It highlights leaders stepping into new roles or expanded scope in Revenue Cycle, managed care, clinical revenue, and operations, showing how organizations are elevating Revenue Cycle leadership as they head into 2026.

Stop giving out your cell number to patients and payers. A softphone gives your Revenue Cycle team a professional direct line that works from anywhere, protects staff privacy, and still looks like a normal business phone number in email signatures (think Softphone 867-5309). It is a small technology shift that can make a big difference in how your RCM operation handles calls, measures performance, and supports remote work.​

Quiet hiring is already reshaping Revenue Cycle Management, even when leaders do not call it by name. Instead of opening traditional job postings, organizations are quietly expanding responsibilities for existing staff, moving high performers into new roles, and leaning on contractors and specialized vendors to fill critical gaps. This shift is driven by a flood of job applications, persistent RCM staffing shortages, tighter margins, and the rapid adoption of AI and automation. For revenue cycle professionals, it means that being discoverable on platforms like LinkedIn—and clearly demonstrating impact, skills, and thought leadership—is now just as important as applying to open roles.
