The Cost of Not Getting It: What HBO Max and Revenue Cycle Consulting Have in Common
Too often in healthcare, outside consultants offer polished strategies without understanding the real work behind the revenue cycle. They recommend changes that look good on paper but miss the mark in practice. At SparkChange, we take a different approach — grounded in context, collaboration, and action. We stay close to the system, the team, and the outcomes that matter.
The History and Peril of Past Revenue Cycle Performance Improvement Efforts
Past revenue cycle improvements delivered short-term gains but faded fast. Today, automation and data-driven intelligence are unlocking lasting efficiency and financial health.
The Silent Crisis in Healthcare
The February 2024 cyberattack on a key healthcare vendor threw the industry into chaos, disrupting operations and leaving a mess that still isn’t fully cleaned up.

In this post, Kristel Hladky sheds light on why this crisis still matters and why we can’t afford to ignore it.
