Harris Healthcare is a fully integrated, single-provider financial IT solution developed specifically for healthcare facilities.
David Kuehn, RCMH Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are excited to implement a system that is user-friendly and offers a number of advanced features our old system did not provide. With Affinity ERP, we have significantly reduced the number of days to close month end, improved AP turnaround and improved efficiency with less staff time required. We know Affinity ERP will not only provide cost savings, but will also benefit employees and patient care.”
Last month, Harris Healthcare successfully implemented the “Go Live” phase for the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Asset Management products on-time and 10% under budget. Materials Management and Budgeting will “Go Live” on December 1st. Cost Accounting, the Human Capital suite and the remainder of Supply Chain Management will be included in upcoming implementation phases.
