Healthcare CEOs perspective on the future
Report shares CEO interview results about acute health care sector's future.
Considering the significant investment health care organizations devote to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) implementation, a conversation around the potential financial and operational risks of supply chain integration is imperative for the sustainability of such an integrated solution. An organization frequently focuses on materials management and EMR systems independently, with siloed reporting relationships promoting a lack of coordination between clinical departments, finance, revenue cycle, IT, materials management and supply chain stakeholders. When these worlds collide through an EMR implementation, there is often increased miscellaneous supply usage, revenue and productivity loss and stakeholder frustration.
The financial impact is significant, and while an organization that effectively integrates can see stable or improved financial performance, failure to do so can be a significant driver of an EMR implementation falling short of financial expectations.
