Healthcare has always been a data-driven industry. Until recently, many healthcare institutions struggled with disparate data in siloed enterprise systems because an integrated Cloud solution wasn’t widely available across Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) processes. Today more than ever, it is critical that health systems have the ability to deliver quality care at the right cost. Equally important is the ability to remain agile and adapt to events around them. Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.
Healthcare has always been a data-driven industry. Until recently, many healthcare institutions struggled with disparate data in siloed enterprise systems because an integrated Cloud solution wasn’t widely available across Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) processes. Today more than ever, it is critical that health systems have the ability to deliver quality care at the right cost. Equally important is the ability to remain agile and adapt to events around them. Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.
In this session, attendees learn:
• Establishing the foundation in the chart of accounts. Visualize how the right COA design can provide actionable analytics.
• Gain an understanding of how financials can directly connect with an EPM-focused solution like Planning to reduce manual processes and increase the efficiency of financial operations teams, therefore, assisting in bringing about real cost transparency to your organization.
• Finally, see how a Human Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll solution integrates seamlessly with the Planning process to provide better visibility into and reporting capabilities on the organization’s employees.
Join us as we embark on the Oracle Cloud digital transformation journey in pursuit of improving healthcare outcomes and bending the cost curve.

11. Healthcare Challenges – ERP Focused
Together Towards Tomorrow
INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Outgrown Chart of Accounts
• Previous system in place for 10+ years
• Growth of the company, desire to
track more metrics
• Acquisitions/Mergers with other
health orgs
Reporting frustrations
Master Maintenance frustrations
Manual Excel manipulation
Longer Period Close
• Lack of Integrated Solutions – HCM vs
ERP
• Old and Unsupported UIs &
Integrations, no out-of-box options
• End of Life, On-Premise
Expensive Integrations Development &
Maintenance
Expensive Internal Infrastructure –
Hardware & Personnel
Outdated ERPs Too Much Paper!
• Employee documents stored physically
• Approvals performed outside system
with paper and stamps
• PO's/Invoices
• Payments for Expense Reimbursement,
Employee Payroll, Vendors on paper
checks
High Cost - Dollars & Time
Zero Controls
12. Focused Enterprise
Challenges
Together Towards Tomorrow
INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Exploding Supplier Master – Patient Refunds
Lack of Projects/Grants System
• Adding payees into the Supplier Master for Patient
Refunds – Individual Patients & Insurance
Companies
• Performance issues with too many records
• Not best practice
• Increasingly difficult to maintain
• Many health care orgs are required to
have a true system with audits, controls,
budget vs actuals spend tracking in real
time
• Government requirements for some
Grants
• Lots of orgs use excel
Escheatments
• Process of taking uncashed Patient Refund checks
and remitting to the State
• Typically a messy process and very manual
Approval Workflows
• Many health care orgs treat the
combination of Department AND Location
as a true Cost Center
• Separate managers, which approvals need
to be driven by
13. Focused Enterprise
Challenges
Together Towards Tomorrow
INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Low Employee Engagement
• Challenging to get solid user adoption when Self-
Service functions are in play
• This issue is amplified in health care
• When User Interfaces (UIs) are antiquated and not
mobile-friendly, it's a losing battle
High Turnover
• The industry is plagued by extremely high turnover
• Companies are finding that they have to compete
on every level, not just Compensation and Benefits
--> Onboarding experience, Career Development,
Continual Learning

16. Healthcare Challenges – EPM Focused
Together Towards Tomorrow
INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Consolidation In Healthcare System(s)
• Acquisitions of smaller systems –
merging with larger systems
• Physician Group consolidation
• Expansion of Service Lines – additional
revenue streams
• Business Unit Flexibility
• Data Integration
• System flexibility – systems that are
more than monolithic solutions

expanded and offer flexibility in that
configuration
• Deeper analysis of solutions for greater
cost savings
Vendor/Software Consolidation Operational & Financial Data Alignment

proactive as a result of pandemic

more time analyzing vs preparing

systems to for more aligned driver
related processes
17. Focused Enterprise
Challenges
Together Towards Tomorrow
INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Disconnected Planning Process(es)
Lack Integrated Reporting
• Most clients are dealing with a manual data
loading process
• Bringing together all the required data to complete
a budget, forecast, rolling forecast is time intensive
and is facilitated by multiple FTEs
• Seeding/Initialization process can be time-
consuming for clients and ultimately doesn’t fit the
logic requirements they need
• Operational Planning components live in different
tools and some of these process are not
connected
• Budget process not giving them the transparency
they need to answer all the questions for variances
• Reporting tools not integrated to financial
systems, and if they are, they are static
reports that can’t be configured to
provide tangible analysis capabilities
• Lack of integration causes issues with
trying to report near “real-time” as users
are adding or changing data
• Use of 3rd party tools sometimes require
exporting and importing data which
increases manual nature of reporting
• Lack transparency
18. Focused Enterprise
Challenges

INTERACT 21 VIRTUAL| JUNE 14 - 16
Manual/Time intensive Financial Processes
Operational and Financial Data
Convergence
• As more Healthcare systems consolidate and/or
purchase groups a solution that can bring multiple
ERPs together to consolidate more effectively is
required
• Lack visibility during the close process to
orchestrate the activities and provide clear status
on where things are stand at a given time
• Account reconciliation processes are time
consuming and produce a real “hidden tax” within
organizations based on the effort and number of
people involved and effort
• Reporting tools not integrated to financial
systems, and if they are, they are static
reports that can’t be configured to provide
tangible analysis capabilities
• Lack of integration causes issues with
trying to report near “real-time” as users
are adding or changing data
• Use of 3rd party tools sometimes require
exporting and importing data which
increases manual nature of reporting
• Lack transparency
