Research Canidates needed

[vpregnon]

Hello colleagues,


I'm Verna Pregnon, MSHI, CPC, a Doctor of Health Administration candidate at Capella University and an AAPC member since 2002. I'm looking for revenue cycle leaders to take part in my doctoral study: Strategies to Address Staff Resistance to Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Outpatient Hospital Revenue Cycle Operations.


You may qualify if you:

• Hold a Director or Senior Director role in revenue cycle, HIM, billing, coding, or denial management
• Work at a U.S. hospital or health system
• Have direct operational responsibility for billing and coding workflows
• Have experience implementing, evaluating, planning, or integrating AI tools

What's involved:

• One confidential Zoom interview, 45 to 60 minutes (audio recorded)
• A 15 to 20 minute review of your de-identified transcript
• Your name and organization are never reported; pseudonyms are used
• A $50 thank-you for each completed interview

If you're interested or have questions, please email me at vpregnon@capellauniversity.edu.


If you know a revenue cycle leader who fits, I'd be grateful if you shared this post with them.


Approved by the Capella University Institutional Review Board, Protocol #2026-914. Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time.


Thank you,
Verna Pregnon
