Infor launches Infor CloudSuite Healthcare for healthcare delivery organisations

Infor, provider of business application software, announced Infor CloudSuite Healthcare, offering care delivery organisations access to solutions within the industry’s leading cloud environment. Infor CloudSuite Healthcare builds upon Infor’s offerings available on Amazon Web Services (AWS), combining software with a proven and comprehensive solution that includes healthcare-specific functionality, analytics and an implementation accelerator for rapid time to value.

“We were used to having total control over our physical installation. However, several months in, we’ve totally adjusted, trading control for peace of mind, lower risk and greater security, and reliability,” said Carol Jones, Director of Financial Systems, Billings Clinic. “Infor Lawson financial, supply chain and human resources solutions in the cloud provide us with the scalability to support our operations while having the right functionality with minimal complexity and lower cost of ownership. This was accomplished through the due diligence, time and effort of the Billings Clinic project team and the Infor Implementation Accelerator for Healthcare,” she added.

Reportedly, Infor CloudSuite Healthcare provides care delivery organisations with state-of-the-art capabilities when utilising the full suite of solutions to meet the needs of the healthcare industry and healthcare-specific business processes including managing complex clinician pay plans, tracking and validating clinical competencies and job specific performance reviews, grants management, coordination of recalls, patient charge capture, care workloads and assignments, pre-built clinical system connections and patient-specific supply reordering amongst many others. In addition, the suite can apparently help significantly lower capital and ongoing investment in IT, while still providing the most current functionality for organisations to respond to changing needs, sustainable margins and comply with complex regulations and requirements while delivering high quality care.

Infor CloudSuite Healthcare is reportedly more cost effective throughout the total lifecycle of managing enterprise software solutions because it precludes the need to purchase additional onsite servers, hardware, operating systems or databases, and hire supplementary IT staff or contractors for peak support or upgrade services. The solution also enables care delivery organisations to take on innovation at their own pace, upgrading at a pace that accommodates their unique timing and business needs with functionality specifically engineered particularly for healthcare, delivering a dramatically different approach than other horizontal ERP solution providers.

“Healthcare executives are consistently tasked to implement changes associated with healthcare reform, adapt to value-based reimbursement, and find new ways to lower costs – all while delivering the highest outcomes and quality levels. The need to modernize the way operational and administrative systems are running has never been so important,” said Mike Poling, Vice President, Healthcare, Infor. “Infor CloudSuite Healthcare delivers a complete, scalable, proven suite of solutions designed specifically to help healthcare organisations run their business efficiently which results in quality, safe, affordable care.”
