Revenue & Operational Impact
Price a clinical departure honestly and it is far more than a salary: recruitment, credentialing, privileging, locum coverage while the seat sits empty, and the institutional knowledge that leaves with the person. Multiply that by every unplanned clinical departure your system absorbed last year and the number gets uncomfortable fast. The revenue cycle takes the quiet damage: claims denial rates spike when experienced medical coders depart, and prior authorization processing slows when care coordination staff turn over mid-cycle - eroding exactly the documentation quality and denial performance that a stable team protects.
