Transform High Data Volumes Using SaaS

By Karla Paris

Community hospitals set to benefit from business intelligence implementation all captured in one system.

Most hospitals do not know how their service lines are performing due to lack of timely and reliable information of their volumes, costs, and profit margins. Recently, RegionalCare Hospital Partners Inc., a leading owner and operator of regionally focused community hospitals in non-urban markets across the United States, has selected Agilum Healthcare Intelligence to provide healthcare business intelligence (BI) solutions and services.

Agilum offers unique advantages to healthcare systems with cloud-based solutions that provide deep Oracle functionality at a monthly subscription fee. Hospitals immediately begin receiving new insights that assist with making informed, timely decisions.

“The ability to easily access business intelligence that is both hospital-specific and company-wide will benefit all of our hospitals, and ultimately, every patient that we serve,” said Alan Wenk, VP of Financial Operations, RegionalCare Hospital Partners.

RegionalCare Hospital Partners provides local communities with hospitals that have the financial resources and management expertise to deliver affordable, accessible, quality healthcare.
