Boost Operational, Clinical and Financial Performance with Good Data by Pete Nelson, Vice President and General Manager, Global Alliances, GHX Peter Nelson, VP & General Manager, Global Alliances at GHX There’s an old adage that every challenge is merely an opportunity in disguise. COVID-19 highlighted the healthcare industry’s ongoing challenge with producing clean, standardized data. As the industry looks to rebound from the severe financial impact of the pandemic, there’s a renewed urgency among hospitals and health networks to improve operational efficiency. The push toward greater operational efficiency – in a time of constrained budgets and resources – has accelerated healthcare’s move toward cloud ERP, a market expected to grow by more than $36 billion in the next five years. It’s important to note, however, that simply moving to the cloud will not bring the desired results unless hospitals first address their data issues. In an environment where every penny counts, hospitals can’t afford to make decisions based on “bad” data.
