Major American Health System Automates Accounts Payable with Brainware Distiller

Intelligent Data Capture Helps Deliver on the Goals of Modernization and Efficiency Improvement

Brainware, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions,
announced today that a Midwest-based healthcare system has chosen Brainware Distiller™ for the automation of hundreds of thousands of invoices annually in a McKesson ERP environment.  This client will be automating a completely manual A/P environment and joins the growing number of healthcare providers, payers, researchers and suppliers who have selected intelligent data capture technology to drive efficiency in their accounts payable process.  This contract includes Brainware’s Visibility™ module for real-time financial metrics and analytics. 

The automation of back end processes dovetails with the federal government’s efforts to introduce paperless processing throughout the healthcare space.  According to a recent White House memorandum, “the Recovery Act (a.k.a. ‘the stimulus bill’) is investing approximately $20 billion in health information technology to boost significantly advancements in electronic health records, e-prescribing, e-care, and community health initiatives.”  By leveraging Brainware Distiller to automate A/P, healthcare providers are taking a further step to modernize costly, outdated processes for the benefit of more purpose-driven functions.  One of this client’s key objectives is the reassignment of data entry personnel to other units within the organization, a key value driver in an environment where revenues are better spent on patient care and clinical research. 

“Some of the most advanced medical institutions in the world continue to operate with labor-intensive data entry,” said Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Brainware.  “Our technology drives substantial return on investment within the ERP and document management systems that are common within the healthcare industry, allowing more providers to cut the cost of processing invoices and devote more funds to saving lives and developing treatments.”

Reflecting the company’s continued commitment to the healthcare industry, Brainware will be participating in the Healthcare Payments Automation Summit, September 19-21 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.  In addition to demonstrating Distiller’s applications for esteemed members of the healthcare community, Brainware’s Vice President of Marketing, Charles Kaplan, will be participating in a panel discussion about the benefits of A/P automation within a healthcare-oriented operation.

Global Healthcare Company Chooses Brainware Distiller for A/P Automation

Brainware’s Intelligent Data Capture Platform to Process More Than a Half-Million Invoices Annually

Brainware, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions,
announced today that it has signed a significant new sales contract with a worldwide healthcare payer and provider. This company, which serves millions of customers globally, has selected Brainware Distiller to process more than 600,000 invoice pages per year.

This company has long utilized data entry operators to manually input invoice information resulting in lengthy cycle times and a lack of real-time visibility into accounts payable performance metrics. With a steady expansion of business into new territories, this customer needed a proven A/P automation solution that would scale to their growing business needs, integrate easily into their existing PeopleSoft ERP environment, and provide an immediate boost to operational efficiency. Additionally, Brainware Distiller’s unique ability to process any type of unstructured document will allow them to roll the solution out to other areas of the organization quickly, enabling continued optimization of document-centric business processes.

"Nonprofit organizations such as this are under constant pressure to put a larger share of their revenues back into fulfilling their core mission,” says Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Brainware. “By spending less on back office operations they create opportunities to reallocate more money to facilities, patient care, and enhanced coverage for those who need it."
