The good ‘ole budgeting days are back!
My … how times are changing … back to what they once were! I guess it has something to do with living long enough to experience things, but budgeting with Oracle’s exceptional world class platform Hyperion Planning solution is now available in the cloud. This means that both new and existing Hyperion Planning customers of […]
Transparency: It’s about the patient
I’ve talked a lot lately about cost vs. quality but this time, I want to talk about why all this is important by telling a little story. A few years ago, I was visiting a CFO for a large academic medical center and he was interrupted for a discussion about a chronically ill international patient […]
Patients Shopping for Quality and Value
Data from a recent study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute shows that individuals enrolled in high-deductible health plans are more likely to behave like consumers and seek data on price and quality before receiving care.1 This, combined with the effects of the Affordable Care Act, where trends are reflecting that more than 80% of […]

Understanding the Value of Care – It’s Not a Guessing Game
Robert S. Kaplan, PhD, writes about improving the “value of care” in this month’s HFMA magazine. “Existing cost measurement systems in healthcare are inadequate. They typically use inaccurate and arbitrary cost allocations and provide little transparency to guide clinician and staff driven efforts to reduce costs and improve processes to enhance outcomes. They also fail […]
The “Secret Sauce” for Financial Transparency
Assembling the data needed to achieve financial transparency is both a technical and political challenge. My recent BLOG In Managing Finance at Hospitals, the Proof is in the Data discusses this in detail. I thought I’d take a moment now to discuss some of the software that combines clinical and financial data for cost management […]
Following the Money Trail: Understanding the True Cost of Care
Healthcare leaders are challenged to understand the true costs associated with providing care. If you ask caregivers to determine their current workflow, they don’t really know where the patient and family go before or after each step of their care so the total care pathway is not in their purview. This is a well-known challenge […]
In Managing Finance at Hospitals, the Proof is in the Data
Assembling data is both a technical and political challenge. I’ve been involved with multiple hospitals where the finance and clinical teams never really collaborate and therefore the lenses put on either domain is not terribly realistic. Truly merging and using the data requires clinical and financial leaders to establish trust and shared goals that promote […]

Enterprise Warehouses: The gift that keeps on giving
I read a blog post recently with references to Oracle’s Marc Perlman @marcdperlman speaking about how Healthcare entities are nearing the timeframe where they can reap the benefits of implementing electronic health records. To quote Marc, “As healthcare providers look to establish enterprise data warehouses, they should begin with a specific project that hinges on […]
Improve care coordination with direct secure messaging #HIMSS14
Direct secure messaging (DSM) is a transmission standard promoted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology that meets the Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements of electronic health records (EHRs). It works much the same way as regular email, but the message is encrypted, which prevents unintended use of the protected health […]
