CIBER Helps Healthcare Firms Gain Efficiencies and Meet Compliance Requirements


LAS VEGAS - HIMSS ANNUAL CONFERENCE - Major healthcare firms throughout the U.S. have been turning to CIBER for assistance with ICD-10 compliance, software implementations, business process improvement and more. At the HIMSS Annual Conference in Las Vegas, CIBER will highlight some of its healthcare offerings, including its ICD-10 services, strategic and application-based mobility solutions, quality assurance and testing, as well as human capital management enterprise software implementations.

CIBER has delivered customized technology solutions to help healthcare firms address business needs. Here are a few examples of the projects recently completed or under way:

Enhancing talent management and acquisition for a major Midwest hospital system: CIBER recently started an implementation of talent management and talent acquisition software for a major Midwest healthcare network. The client's existing talent management system relied heavily on manual processes and was not integrated with the hospital system's HR management software. The new solution will be fully integrated, providing automated work flows and better visibility into the hiring process.

Testing claims systems that serve nearly five million people for ICD-10 compliance: A Northeast health insurer with nearly five million members turned to CIBER's Testing Centers of Excellence for functional, regression and parallel testing to ensure claims processing is ready for HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10 changes. CIBER's Testing Centers of Excellence provide quality assurance to ensure upgrades meet compliance pressures while providing plan members excellent service for claims processing. Using CIBER's proven methodologies and highly skilled consultants, the healthcare firm is meeting tight timelines with reliable testing performed in global delivery centers.

Streamlining processes and consolidating multiple facilities' systems for a major Midwest hospital system: Late in 2011, CIBER completed implementation of an enterprise-wide financial, human resources and payroll system that improves administration, reporting and analysis capabilities for a major Midwest healthcare network. By consolidating systems from multiple facilities into a unified ERP solution, this healthcare provider reduced redundancies and cut costs associated with managing multiple types of HR and financial software. The client also shortened processing cycle times and set the stage for implementation of business intelligence later this year.

Attendees of this year's HIMSS conference can learn about these projects and more by visiting CIBER at booth number 7710. CIBER practitioners will be onsite to discuss:
