Allen’s session on autonomous healthcare revenue coincides with SSI’s introduction of ARC, the Autonomous Revenue Core™ at Springhill Medical Center, immersive on-site experience designed to help healthcare finance leaders see their revenue cycle in a whole new way.
MOBILE, AL — The SSI Group announces today that CEO Dr. Diana Allen will present at the 2026 HFMA Annual Conference, joining healthcare finance leaders for a conversation about one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: why the cost to collect keeps climbing, and what organizations can actually do about it.
Allen’s session, “Autonomous Healthcare Revenue: A New Way of Thinking About Revenue Cycle Management Through AI and Automation,” takes place June 9 from 8:10 to 9:00 AM ET in Maryland A, Rooms 1-3. She’ll be joined by Sharon Barnicie, Executive Director of Revenue Integrity at Springhill Medical Center, for a data-driven discussion grounded in real-world results.
Together, they’ll take an honest look at why so many organizations continue to see rising operational costs despite ongoing investment, and how a shift toward prevention, smarter prioritization, and coordinated automation is becoming essential to long-term financial sustainability. Attendees will hear directly from Springhill Medical Center on what that shift looks like in practice, with case study examples showing how proactive, AI-driven approaches are reducing denials and improving clean claim performance.
