ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2015

Craneware's AVP of Strategic Messaging and Solutions Owner, Kathy Schwartz, and Parkview Health's Director of Revenue Integrity, Kathy Lytal, will lead the presentation titled, "Enterprise Pharmacy and Supply Chain Revenue Integrity," on Monday, October 26, from 7 a.m. – 8 a.m. EDT. During the presentation, the Craneware and Parkview executives will describe how the health system captured more than $27 million in savings by establishing a compliant and sustainable charge capture process. 

"While the industry strives for best outcomes at best cost, margin remains an essential metric for business performance," said Craneware CEO, Keith Neilson. "Parkview Health is an excellent example of how health systems can automate pharmacy and supply chain charge capture processes to realize significant savings. We're excited to share this success story with HFMA's members to help others discover, convert and optimize value in their own systems."
