Advocate Health Care Selects Brainware Distiller for Accounts Payable Automation

Distiller Replaces Outdated OCR Technology, Cited as More Comprehensive than E-Invoicing


May 17, 2012, Ashburn, VA—Brainware announced today that Advocate Health Care, a Chicagoland-based healthcare provider that includes several hospitals cited by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospitals 2011-12” report, has selected Brainware Distiller for optimal efficiency and visibility in accounts payable automation.  This implementation will replace another vendor’s OCR application.

“I observed a presentation by Anixter International outlining the success they’d had in using this technology to boost productivity and accountability in their accounts payable routine, and it was a real eye-opener in terms of the possibilities intelligent data capture offered for building efficiency in our accounts payable function,” said Sonia Lewis, Accounts Payable Manager at Advocate Health Care.

“We welcome Advocate Health Care to the growing list of healthcare providers using intelligent data capture,” said Carl E. Mergele, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Brainware.  “Through the efficiencies gained by intelligent data capture, Advocate plans to streamline back end processes to drive resources into their core mission of creating the best place for patients to heal, physicians to practice and associates to work.”

Advocate Health Care, one of the nation’s top 10 health systems, based on clinical performance, is the largest health system in Illinois and one of the largest health care providers in the Midwest.  For more information, please visit www.advocatehealth.com.
