Across the world, healthcare institutions are facing greater demands with regard to quality of care. At the same time hospitals require the maximum possible operational efficiency and cost transparency to meet increasingly tighter budgets. Integrated system solutions that support healthcare providers effectively are one of the keys to success.
In response to the growing demands on the healthcare market, Siemens and SAP® have significantly expanded their long-time partnership. Together, our companies pursue the aim of creating an IT solution* that helps healthcare providers realize enterprise-wide integration. The goal of this joint solution is to help our customers improve patient care, increase efficiency and transparency, and reduce total operating costs. Because financial, administrative, and clinical processes influence each other, it is necessary to develop a homogenous, integrated IT solution that takes these mutual influences into account. This requires systematic integration that strictly avoids stand-alone solutions. Based on enterprise-wide information, it is possible to create greater transparency of hospital operations, which enhances overall hospital management.
