Biography
Kathy retired from GE Healthcare and took her passion for excellence and commitment to customer service to become the K in KPG! She knew she wanted to continue to reach out to clients. That brings us to the Revenue Cycle Management in KPG Revenue Cycle Management, Inc.!
Kathy has worked for medical practices as well as for IDX/GE. It is her unique combination of skills: understanding the client from having walked in their shoes to being a part of the IDX/GE implementation team and developing a deeper knowledge of the system that has given her a special perspective when working with clients. It is also this combination of skills that allowed her to develop a consulting business within GE to assist Group Management clients with the unique challenges they met each day with staff turnovers, new releases and industry changes.
A highlight of Kathy’s time with IDX/GE is the time she spent with the Group Management (aka GPMS/Group Cast) Implementation Team developing a process for implementations is still used as a model for other product lines within GE. It is even more exciting that three other members of that team are part of the KPG RCM Dream Team.
