Interprofessional education (IPE) is when two or more professions learn from, about, and alongside each other in order to facilitate effective collaboration and enhance health outcomes.

When a patient and a healthcare organization first make contact, the medical billing process begins. Front-end employees must gather patient data during this encounter that will serve as the basis for invoicing and collection. From the standpoint of the revenue cycle, obtaining the most accurate data at the outset begins with patient scheduling and registration. In addition to making sure that a patient's demographic data is accurately entered into the provider's billing system, it is crucial that front-end staff also confirm the patient's health insurance status and coverage.
