INDIANAPOLIS, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Group Health, a consumer-governed, nonprofit health care system based in Seattle, has selected Mezzia as the technology platform for its organization-wide effort to standardize and streamline its capital planning and budgeting.
With Mezzia, Group Health now has a web-based system that will give managers involved with capital planning a standard and streamlined way to define, document and view information about future capital needs. Mezzia provides one integrated environment for Group Health to plan, manage and control the performance of capital spending against the capital plan and budget. Prior to Mezzia, Group Health used multiple spreadsheets and self- developed databases to manually track the capital process. These unrelated data sources made getting a true picture of capital needs and the status of capital spending difficult.
“The Mezzia system will simplify what traditionally is a complex and tedious system,” said Bill Biggs, executive director of the administrative services division of Group Health. “We will be better equipped to manage our capital planning and budgeting and have the ability to link finance, materials and operations, all of which are critical contributors to the capital process.”
Group Health selected Mezzia after a detailed market assessment of potential capital management partners. “We were impressed by Mezzia’s understanding of the true enterprise nature and complexity of the capital management process cycle,” Biggs said. “Mezzia enables the level of financial control and reporting we need.”
Group Health expects several hundred managers will ultimately use Mezzia to maximize return on new capital investments and ensure that capital is deployed where and when it is needed most.
“Healthcare organizations are challenged to maximize every dollar of available capital. Mezzia brings structure and integration to the capital planning, budgeting and purchasing process, ultimately resulting in better and more efficient use of capital,” said Scott McCorkle, president of Mezzia.
