Overview

This US health system and its 30,000-plus employees are committed to transforming the future of healthcare—earning high marks for the quality of care they deliver. Finance executives recently adopted an apexanalytix supplier onboarding solution to bring the same spirit of innovation to a new accounts payable (AP) transformation initiative. year it processes more than 8 million invoices from 70,000 suppliers.

 

Challenge

The health system established aggressive AP transformation goals. Executives wanted to standardize and scale their operating model across multiple hospitals, go paper-free, maximize working capital and achieve greater data visibility—all while delivering exceptional customer service. They decided to automate supplier interactions as an important step in the transformation process.

 

Solution

The team selected apexanalytix to support their initiative. A HIPAA-compliant portal solution now provides touchless registration and data validation, e-invoicing, early pay discounting, self-service inquiry and supplier collaboration tools. The portal’s flexible business rules support a fully automated, custom compliance process that aligns with complex federal healthcare regulations. apexanalytix specialists also conducted an accounts payable audit—quickly recovering enough funds to pay for the portal implementation.
