Bronx-Lebanon Selects Allscripts For Revenue Cycle Management

Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, a 564 bed not-for-profit health care system serving the South and Central Bronx, New York, selected Sunrise Financial Manager (SFM) from Allscripts to manage revenue across the healthcare system. Built on the Sunrise Enterprise 6.0 platform, SFM will provide Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center with a modern, integrated clinical and financial system designed for use with the new value-based care payment models.

An early adopter of SFM in the New York City market, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center shared valuable insights during solution development, including the importance of addressing changing regulations in healthcare today. The hospital is expanding on a long-standing relationship with Allscripts and is already a seasoned user of the Sunrise Enterprise suite of solutions.

“We selected Allscripts to build on the success we have seen from Sunrise Clinical Manager,” said Steve Anderman, chief operating officer of Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center. “Sunrise Financial Manager was truly developed with the future in mind and will give us the tools to adapt to change while avoiding any business interruption.”

Allscripts designed SFM with the latest Microsoft technology, creating a solution that is cohesive, connected and focused on care coordination across a patient’s total health experience. The solution uses a single database with unique visual workflow capabilities, providing a flexible tool to streamline business operations, reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

“Sunrise Financial Manager is a game-changing solution that provides a solid foundation for our clients navigating the current healthcare landscape,” said Paul Black, president and chief executive officer of Allscripts. “We look forward to helping Bronx-Lebanon thrive in a world of new value based care payment models.”
