21. Healthcare Client Successes - Carilion Carilion Health System As the largest healthcare provider and the leading employer spanning across western Virginia, Carilion Health System provides a complete healthcare network offering the latest medical technology and the highest standards of care. Because of its size, diversity and composition of ten hospitals, a level one trauma center, cancer center and other facilities, Carilion faced several challenges when it came to budgeting and management reporting. CHALLENGES FACED Arduous, inaccurate and time consuming budgeting process. Complex healthcare calculations. Limited reporting capabilities and complexities developing reports BENEFITS REALIZED Increased efficiency and accuracy in budget process. Robust modeling environment to handle the complexities of the hospital contractual processes. More intuitive and simplified reporting tools strengthening user and reporting capabilities

22. Healthcare Client Successes - Healthfirst HEALTH FIRST – Florida Health First is a private, non-profit organization providing the people of its communities with quality healthcare without regard to their financial status. Together, with its provider partners, Health First strives to completely integrate all components of care into a seamless system delivered under single leadership. To accomplish this goal, their executive team needs timely access to critical information for public accountability and continuous measurement of clinical performance. Health First used a system called Trendstar for their reporting and analysis. The system housed essential data like historical patient activity, cost and revenue by insurance plan, contract information and other key healthcare information. Trendstar had no flexibility, was costly to maintain, and inaccessible to a wide audience of users. If an executive needed a specific report or analysis, he or she would have to place a report request with an analyst. An analyst would then spend several days coding the report This process was slow and quite limited causing top management to wait for days to receive crucial financial information. For these reasons, Health First found it difficult to manage their business properly. CHALLENGES FACED Time consuming and cumbersome methods utilized to access crucial information. Limited means to analyze profitability. Required the ability to map patient data to the correct service lines and payors. BENEFITS REALIZED Easy access to data without complex reporting logic. Acquiring information in minutes, not days, leaving more time for analysis. High-powered, quick visibility to profitability by doctor, service line, DRG, zip code and many other analysis points.

23. Healthcare Client Successes - Providence PROVIDENCE HEALTH SYSTEM Based in Seattle, Washington, Providence Health System’s commitment of caring spans throughout Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Southern California. Their 34,000 employees operate 19 acute care hospitals, 19 freestanding long-term care facilities and 15 low-income and assisted living facilities.

To meet their myriad of needs, Providence offers a comprehensive array of services including acute and primary care, outpatient services, transitional, home and hospice care, substance abuse programs, mental health treatment and more. For an organization as immense as Providence, getting consistent management reporting and budgeting across the enterprise was an extremely arduous task. CHALLENGES FACED No single point reporting application in place to address financial, customer satisfaction, position control and daily decision making. Existing budgeting solution was not designed to support their budgeting process. Many stakeholders with various needs required a more flexible budgeting tool. Too many disparate data sources and account structures with no access to departmental detail . BENEFITS REALIZED A single point reporting application with a user friendly and intuitive interface that delivered mission critical data to Providence executives to manage the business. A flexible budgeting tool that conformed to the needs of their budgeting process. A single system-wide structure for consolidation with detailed budgeting at the department/ sub-account level that is visible throughout the organization
