Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced that Yavapai Regional
Medical Center, a not-for-profit hospital system based in Prescott, AZ,
licensed multiple enterprise software solutions, including Lawson
S3 Enterprise Financial Management, Supply
Chain Management, and Human
Capital Management suites. As part of the contract, Yavapai Regional
Medical Center will also implement Lawson Smart Office, Talent
Management and Workforce Management applications. The contract was
signed during the third quarter of Lawson’s 2011 fiscal year, which
ended Feb. 28, 2011.
Yavapai Regional Medical Center is a state-of-the-art hospital system
consisting of two campuses with 185 beds, an outpatient center and 1,900
employees. Yavapai has received national recognition for the James
Family Heart Center and was named one of America’s Top 100 Hospitals by
Thomson Reuters.
Yavapai Regional had a number of disparate and aging business systems in
place that produced reports with varying data, which impacted decision
making by managers and directors. In searching for a solution, the
organization focused on identifying an enterprise-wide solution that
would help optimize and standardize business operations to help reduce
costs, improve employee engagement and streamline processes such as
employee benefits enrollment.
"Yavapai Regional Medical Center has been around since 1943, and our
communities depend on us to provide high-quality patient care and
services,” said Randy Rahman, CIO for Yavapai Regional Medical Center.
"Lawson has a proven track record of helping healthcare organizations
like ours improve business operations and reduce overall costs. With the
Lawson applications, we will be able to pull timely data and create
reports that can help support critical decisions across our health
system to help increase our productivity and efficiency. This frees up
our staff from time-consuming administrative tasks so they can focus on
fulfilling our mission and vision to deliver high-quality patient care.”
In addition, with Lawson Talent Management and Workforce Management,
Yavapai Regional Medical Center will have the tools to help improve
employee satisfaction, manage existing and future workforce levels
appropriately and manage nurse staffing levels to match the health
system’s patient flow.
"Healthcare organizations today are finding that they need to trust
their data and have more visibility into that data to help them make the
right decisions and to put the right people in the right place at the
right time, said Jim Catalino, general manager for Lawson
Healthcare. "Lawson solutions are designed to help healthcare
organizations navigate the complexities of their business by connecting
their financial, clinical and operational systems, ultimately helping to
control costs and improve employee satisfaction.”
