BJC HealthCare selects Siemens revenue cycle solution

June 30, 2010

Malvern, PA, June 30, 2010 – Today, Siemens Healthcare announced that BJC HealthCare, one of the largest nonprofit healthcare organizations in the U.S., has signed a new 12-year agreement to migrate 11 of its hospitals to Soarian Financials, Siemens’ enterprise-wide, Web-based revenue cycle solution. Siemens also announced that Platte Valley and Kingman Regional medical centers each signed new multi-year deals to bring Soarian Clinicals live in their facilities: moves based in part on the providers’ goals to achieve meaningful use of an electronic health record (EHR) as outlined in the HITECH provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

For BJC HealthCare, the new $49 million agreement extends across 11 hospitals, from Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals at its academic medical center in St. Louis to suburban community hospitals and others in rural Missouri. BJC was seeking a solution to help drive down operational costs, improve clinical charge automation and reduce denials and bad debt through system standardization.
