CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 20, 2025 — Ensemble, the nation’s leading revenue cycle managed services partner for healthcare organizations, announced today it has been selected by Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) as the system’s strategic end-to-end revenue cycle partner. The partnership brings a combination of innovative technologies and exceptional operators to HSHS that will enhance the patient experience and improve financial performance.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 5, 2025 — Ensemble, the nation’s leading revenue cycle managed services partner for healthcare organizations for the fifth time has been named Best in KLAS for end-to-end revenue cycle outsourcing. This designation recognizes Ensemble as the top ranked partner in delivering a frictionless revenue cycle and exceptional patient experiences by healthcare leaders.

We’re dedicated to investing in our teams so together we can exceed expectations and deliver an exceptional experience. Doing so allows hospitals, health systems and clinicians to focus on delivering care, not defending it.”
