　　Re: Director for Patient Financial Services

　　Dear Mrs. Boyd:

　　I was very interested to see your advertisement for a Director of Patient Financial Services in the Philadelphia Inquirer (8-11-01). I have been seeking just such an opportunity as this, and I think my background and your requirements may be a good match. My resume is enclosed for your review.

　　Of particular note for you and the members of your team as you consider this management placement are my strong accomplishments² in reducing outstandings and reorganizing accounting³ and collections functions to achieve improved operating efficiency internally and improved cashflow for the institution as a whole.

　　Consider the following:

　　* Reduced A/R days from 110 to 60.4.

　　* Reduced staff by 6.5 FTEs with concurrent⁴ increase in total departmental performance.

　　* Reduced patient complaints with simultaneous increase in A/R collected.

　　* Improved cashflow by $1.6 million per month.

　　Additionally, my contributions have been mainly achieved by improving information flow within the patient financial services function, improving patient financial services utilization⁵ of already available MIS services, and improving cooperation between patient services and admissions, UR, contracting, and medical records functions.

　　After fifteen years in patient accounting, I have a thorough understanding of every aspect of this function in a modern hospital/medical center setting. My current employer is very happy with my performance, but I view myself as somewhat of a troubleshooter, and most of the reorganizations initiated⁶ here have already come to fruition, so I am eager to consider new challenges.

　　If you are seeking a manager who stays abreast⁷ of her field, who understands technology, who earns 100% staff support, and who is as career-committed as it takes to achieve total success, then please consider what I have to offer. I would be happy to have a preliminary discussion with you or members of your committee to see if we can establish a mutual⁸ interest. I will call you within the week to answer any initial questions you may have, and to hear about your hiring process.

　　Thank you for your attention to these materials. I certainly look forward to exploring this further.

　　Yours truly,

　　Brenda J. Wilson
