SAP BusinessObjects Solutions for the Healthcare Industry
Provider Performance Insight
Healthcare providers face a broad range of challenges across multiple fronts – from fierce competition and increased regulatory requirements to rising costs and growing patient activism for high-quality care. This dynamic set of challenges makes up what appears to be a significant and accelerated revolution within the healthcare industry.
For example, the trend toward outcome-driven medical care forces you to do much more with much less. Many payers are refusing to reimburse for medical treatment unless there is a clear demonstrable benefit to the patient. This requires you to effectively link healthcare delivery to specific patient outcomes and to rapidly determine the context in which payers would approve payment.
SAP BusinessObjects solutions that support the needs of the healthcare industry can help forward-thinking healthcare organizations access, analyze, and share information across your healthcare operation. You can leverage data from your existing applications to gain the insight to ensure high-quality patient care, operational efficiency, and financial health.
With SAP BusinessObjects solutions, you can benefit from comprehensive functionality that can enable:
- Agile and responsive operations – Gain transparency into key aspects of your operation through a constantly updated daily operation and performance interactive dashboard. You can get a quick snapshot of the status of critical key performance indicators (KPIs) such as patient census, scheduled surgeries, and medical staff efficiency, so you can evaluate daily performance.
- Greater nursing and patient satisfaction – Using detailed analytics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for patient care, such as infection rates, re-admission rates, and patient acuity, you can optimize staffing levels to reduce overall cost while maximizing patient care. You can view critical, customized reports – comparing hourly patient census, bed capacity, and staff count, for example – to match staffing ratios to patient acuity. Ultimately improving satisfaction among staff and patients alike.
- Accurate and complete reimbursement – Dynamically assess your hospital's overall financial performance picture. With cash-on-hand, net margins, profits, collections and other critical KPIs, the software provides the metrics your financial managers need to gain visibility into revenues, expenses, and other key financial data. You can see revenue from all sources and at multiple levels of detail – across clinical service lines, facilities, departments, diagnostic-related groups, and physicians.
