About Colleen Wood

I have spent 25 years in healthcare in both operations and sales, working my way through the ranks of Practice Administrator, Regional Administrator, individual contributor to managing sales and support teams. I am passionate in bringing both revenue cycle and quality improvement options to clients so that they feel the commitment of the company they work with. I have been successful helping to position and optimize technology solutions in provider organizations, hospitals and IDNs. In sales my skills include guiding teams in the use of tools, such as Salesforce, which help to understand the market, predict outcomes and guide individual contributor and team success. In operations my skills have been focused on how to leverage operations and support in the sales discussion to secure sales but more importantly to have happy satisfied clients. Post sale, I have guided operations teams in successful client support to ensure ongoing client business beyond the original contract. As healthcare changes, I view technology innovations to be the solution to assist EMR/EHR vendors, hospitals and providers meet their goals of managing healthier patients within economic parameters. My goal is to ensure providers are able to manage patients and provide great care delivered in ways that drive revenue. My focus is always on driving corporate financial performance through the use of proper automated solutions, process improvement and other changes that leverage system data, continued improvement and ease of technology deployment. My skills are leveraged to help my company, our clients and my colleagues gain a thorough understanding and appreciation of issues and gaps while navigating to address these with business appropriate solutions. I enjoy challenging basic assumptions in order to promote the growth and expansion of people, products and service offerings.

   I am so excited to be able to represent Availity and the breadth of revenue cycle solutions serving integrated delivery networks, hospitals and physician practices. As the business of healthcare becomes more complicated, hospitals and physician practices need solutions that make it faster and easier to manage critical workflows throughout the entire revenue cycle, prevent denials, and receive payments faster without placing an additional burden on existing staff. Availity brings these solutions with intergated capabilities depending on the client\'s EHR.
