ZirMed, the premier cloud-based enterprise financial and clinical performance solution for healthcare, today announced it will be hosting its 2015 ZirMed User Group Conference (ZUG 15), August 17-18 in Chicago, near its newly opened Healthcare Analytics Center of Excellence. This year’s conference theme, “Architect Your Future,” will focus on building a complete financial and clinical performance system to optimize revenue cycle and population health.

ZUG 15 is a two-day event of educational sessions on topics ranging from reimbursement, to patient responsibility to denials management. The event offers vital insights and tools to help providers work more efficiently, improve their revenue stream and reduce reimbursement delays. The conference also offers valuable formal and informal networking opportunities – such as receptions and roundtables – for attendees to learn from their peers and specialists from around the nation.

“Each year we look forward to bringing our experts and our clients together to help providers take charge of their revenue cycle,” said Tom Butts, ZirMed CEO. “This year we’re hosting the event close to our new Healthcare Analytics Center of Excellence in Chicago. Attendees can expect to leave the conference poised to identify new revenue opportunities, accelerate cash flow, and uncover and flag at-risk accounts.”

ZirMed will host the 2015 conference at theWit hotel, which is located in the heart of Chicago’s theater district. Early bird registration for ZUG 15 is now open until May 31. To register and view the full conference agenda, please visit: http://www.zug15.com.

“Attending ZUG last year gave me the opportunity to collaborate with my peers and hear how others are overcoming reimbursement challenges,” said Wendy Tricarico, Director of Billing, Perioperative Services, LLC.  “I was able to come back to my organization with best practices to revitalize our revenue cycle management process and boost collections. At ZUG 15, I’m looking forward to discovering how to build on our success and for the opportunity to learn from and provide mentorship to others.”
