Speaker Highlight: Shiny George
Vice President of Revenue Cycle
Thomas Jefferson University
Shiny B. George will discuss empowering colleagues and how she has developed a revenue cycle team who work together to share knowledge, data and create a productive environment for the all colleagues to be successful.


Shiny George serves as the Vice President of Revenue Cycle at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. In her role, she provides strategic direction and leadership in the delivery of all revenue cycle services. This includes functional areas within patient access, health information management, clinical documentation improvement, revenue integrity and patient financial services.  

She has over 20 years of experience in the various leadership roles focusing on healthcare revenue cycle. She believes what has contributed to her professional success are the inspiring leaders and mentors in her life, the great team she was able to build throughout her career, in addition to her “roll up your sleeves” spirit, and a “can do” attitude. Prior to joining Jefferson, she worked at the University of Pennsylvania Health System for over 15 years serving in various leadership roles, including Director of Health Information Management.
