Hunterdon Health Upgrades to Infor for Enhanced Cloud Services
In a significant move aimed at bolstering its operational efficiency, Hunterdon Health has recently transitioned to Infor's cutting-edge cloud-based applications. This strategic decision marks a key milestone in the health system's journey towards comprehensive digital transformation, enabling better management of resources and improved patient care.
With a network comprising over 30 primary and specialty practices spread across counties including Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer, Morris, and Warren, Hunterdon Health is dedicated to evolving its services to address community needs. The facilities include a 178-bed Five Star rated hospital by CMS, which continuously seeks innovative solutions to streamline operations and tackle the challenges prevalent in healthcare delivery today.
The motivation behind this ambitious shift to cloud infrastructure is rooted in the recognition of the advantages that cloud technologies can bring to healthcare organizations. By moving critical applications to the cloud, Hunterdon Health aims to enhance its management capabilities over pivotal resources such as financial assets, clinical data, and necessary supplies. This shift is anticipated to directly contribute to the ongoing commitment towards better patient care.
Historically, healthcare organizations have faced hurdles due to aging platforms and disjointed systems that consume valuable time and resources. Hunterdon Health's leadership identified an opportunity to replace these outdated setups with a unified platform. The aim is to eliminate silos between departments, reducing the time and effort currently allocated to managing manual processes and disparate systems. This move is expected to liberate staff from mundane tasks, allowing them to concentrate on projects that add greater value to patient services.
Edmund Siy, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Information Officer of Hunterdon Health, stated, "Hunterdon chose to partner with Infor due to its extensive experience in the healthcare domain and the capabilities offered by its ERP platform. The ability to connect clinically with our electronic health records provides real-time visibility across the organization, an invaluable feature for us."
The benefits of this cloud transition extend beyond mere convenience. Hunterdon Health now stands to gain access to Infor's Healthcare CloudSuite, which comprises applications specifically designed for supply chain and financial management. This suite enables better analytics, timely insights, and crucial decision-making support, allowing management to align operational practices effectively.
Additionally, Infor’s solutions facilitate seamless connections with third-party applications, thus enhancing data consolidation across the organization. By having access to real-time information housed within a single system, Hunterdon's decision-makers are empowered to make informed choices that significantly impact patient outcomes.
Hunterdon Health's commitment to integrating technology into its operational framework is evident. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, embracing these innovative solutions underscores their dedication to providing top-notch healthcare services to their patients and the community.
