A New CFO Turbocharges Revenue Modeling Using BI Tools and Techniques: AAPA Case Study

The profession of physician assistants is expanding dramatically as the healthcare industry adapts to deep change. The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), a non-profit professional association, has a terrific opportunity to innovate and grow. The CFO, who joined AAPA in mid-2012, now deploys advanced financial modeling tools and techniques that fall under the rubric of business intelligence (BI). The idea is to isolate and analyze operating metrics and patterns that drive financial outcomes. This case study explains how the CFO works with business managers to understand and influence interactions between financial and non-financial variables, all with the intention of generating best-possible financial results for the enterprise.
