Charlie Eckert Joins Libman Education as Vice President, Strategic Growth

BEDFORD, Mass. - Aug. 15, 2024 - PRLog -- Libman Education announces Charlie Eckert has joined the firm as Vice President for Strategic Growth.

As a twenty-year veteran of the healthcare industry, Charlie Eckert knows that this is an industry unlike any other — it is all about expertise, integrity, and efficiency. "I am very excited to join the team at Libman Education and look forward to connecting healthcare organizations with our excellent training solutions," said Charlie summarizing his goals for joining Libman Education.

Charlie identifies two interrelated challenges facing healthcare organizations and believes Libman Education is well-positioned to help with both.

• The opportunity to shift the focus from denials management (a costly, ineffective, and after-the-fact approach) to denials prevention where coding is supported by appropriate documentation leading to accurate code assignment and claims that flow through cleanly. "As I see it, too much time is spent trying to manage the problem of payer denials when there is a far greater benefit to be had from preventing the denial from occurring in the first place."
• Rethinking the costly practice of signing bonuses for new employees you hope will work out and instead investing resources to train and up-skill your current coders, auditors, and CDI staff to meet your organization's need for quality, productivity, and ultimately, denials prevention. "The financial health of a healthcare organization is built on a robust revenue cycle and for that you need experienced, capable, and well-trained staff. Staffing shortages are not going away. Targeted investment of time and money in the staff you already have, yields a much greater chance of success."

"Charlie has worked closely with some of the most innovative healthcare organizations in the country. His in-depth knowledge of healthcare organizations gained through this experience will ensure Libman Education continues to provide the training resources necessary for our students and our client healthcare organizations to thrive," said Susan Pepple, President, welcoming Charlie to the Libman Education team.
