Craneware And Shriners Hospitals For Children Selected To Present On Supply Chain Revenue Integrity And Data Management At AHRMM 2014

Presentation to Share Best Practices for Establishing Supply and Pharmacy Revenue Integrity

Craneware, Inc., the healthcare market leader in automated revenue integrity solutions, recently announced it will present alongside Shriners Hospitals for Children, a not-for-profit provider of pediatric specialty care with 22 locations across North America, at the Association of Healthcare Resource and Materials Management 2014 Annual Conference and Exhibition (AHRMM14).

Sean Hay, Pharmacy/Supply Revenue Coordinator at Shriners Hospitals for Children and Kathy Schwartz, Product Manager at Craneware will lead a presentation titled, “Minding the Gaps for Supply Chain Integrity and Data Management,” on August 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. EST in Orlando, FL. During the session, Hay and Schwartz will share how Shriners Hospitals for Children automated their supply and pharmacy management process for advancing sustainability and revenue integrity by normalizing data across previously siloed areas of the organization.

“As the US seeks to reduce healthcare costs while expanding insurance access to more people, healthcare organizations that can identify opportunities to increase efficiency and penetrate siloes for improved business performance are contributing to the sustainability of quality US healthcare,” said Craneware CEO Keith Neilson. “We’re excited to present alongside Shriners Hospitals for Children to share how they automated management processes across the enterprise to facilitate use of best practices for supply and pharmacy revenue integrity. They are a leading example of how a proactive strategy centered on revenue integrity can transform an organization for efficient and successful business performance.”
