Margin Playbook
The Hospitals Holding 6%+ Margin Are Leaking Less. Not Growing Faster.
Charge capture, coding accuracy, denial prevention, and underpayment recovery are margin metrics, not operations metrics. This playbook maps the four mid-RC levers separating top-quartile hospitals from the median, eight board KPIs to govern them, and a 90-day diagnostic plan.
- Four mid-RC levers with benchmarks
- Eight board-level KPIs

What's inside
A CFO-level briefing on the levers, the KPIs, and the plan to close the gap.
The four levers, the eight board KPIs, and the 90-day plan that separate top-quartile hospitals from the median.
The Three Forces Compressing Margins
Payer mix, cost growth, and reimbursement decline moving simultaneously, and why a volume strategy can't offset them.
The Four Mid-RC Levers With Full Benchmarks
Top-quartile targets versus median performance for each lever, where revenue leaks, and what closing the gap is worth.
Eight Board-Level KPIs With Targets
The metrics that belong in every monthly board pack. Their absence is itself a governance finding.
Mid-RC Readiness Self-Assessment
Score each lever 1 to 5. Sixteen-plus is top-quartile posture, 12 to 15 is median, and below 12 is structural exposure.
The 90-Day Diagnostic Plan
Three phases of 30 days each. By day 90 the question isn't where the leakage is, but who is accountable for closing it.
Revenue Recovery Sizing Calculator
Recoverable revenue across all four levers in conservative, mid-case, and top-quartile scenarios by net patient revenue band.
