Business Context
Oracle Cloud services deliver tremendous value across the healthcare ecosystem through the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, SCM, EPM, and HCM solutions. A trusted partner with the healthcare domain and Oracle expertise can enable healthcare providers to modernize their systems and processes and achieve high business value while delivering superior patient care.
The Situation
Need to transform and modernize operations to enhance quality of healthcare services.
Our client is a national provider of in-home healthcare services and innovation in the US and the preferred in-home care partner of more than 400 hospitals across the country. The company’s 29,000 employees deliver home health, hospice, home and community-based services, and facility-based care in 37 states and the District of Columbia, reaching 68 percent of the U.S. population aged 65 and older. Working with our hospital and health system partners, they seamlessly transition patients from the acute to the post-acute setting in a patient-centered continuum of care to reduce avoidable readmissions, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance operational performance.
