Accenture
(NYSE:ACN) has helped Shanghai East Hospital complete the implementation
of a Hospital Resource Planning (HRP) system designed to optimize the
hospital’s business processes and enhance its operating efficiency.
Under the management consulting agreement, Accenture supported the
introduction of the system that covers a variety of business functions,
including logistics management, materials management, cost accounting
and budget management. Among the new capabilities, the system provides
closed-loop materials management and full-cost financial accounting,
intended to help the hospital achieve greater efficiency and lower costs.
“We are very pleased to work with Accenture and are more than satisfied
with the outcome of our long-term cooperation,” said Liu Zhongmin,
director of Shanghai East Hospital. “With nearly 40 years of global
industry experience and best practices, Accenture has played an
important role in helping the hospital put business innovation to its
best use in order to improve service quality through IT capacity
building.”
Previously, Accenture helped the hospital design a roadmap for building
its IT infrastructure and introduced the hospital to the leading
analysis and assessment model established by the U.S. Healthcare
Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
“Shanghai East Hospital is a top general hospital in China and a driver
of innovation within the global healthcare sector,” said Bo Wang, who
leads Accenture’s Health & Public Service business in Greater China. “We
are honored to be leveraging our deep industry knowledge and project
management skills to help Shanghai East Hospital achieve more efficient
business operations as it strives to build a leading, intelligent and
digital hospital.”
