Helping IT Leaders
leverage every resource and stay responsive
Make sure every investment you make—every solution you use—supports your organization's clinical and revenue goals based on the way you actually work.
Learn MoreIn 2022 we received the highest industry ranking: #1 Best in KLAS for Technical Services — and we were cited as "the market leader in Cerner implementations" in a previous KLAS report. We fill critical gaps between vendor and in-house organizations—providing a candid and objective perspective, informed by over 25 years of experience. We know how to engage the full spectrum of stakeholders from the boardroom to the lab—to the bedside, in order to achieve optimal results and value.Read More
More than ever, optimizing Revenue Cycle Management is critical for recovering your organization’s health. Our teams have been assisting health systems and hospitals get to the workflows and practices essential for making Oracle Cerner’s Clinically-Driven Revenue Cycle perform for everyone. S&P’s holistic and practical approach keeps projects on track (and can also salvage projects in-jeopardy.) Our people serve as a proven catalyst in helping in-house teams work with Oracle Cerner—and hospital leadership—towards a clear and shared vision of success.
Whether you choose to use vendor-supplied implementation/optimization resources or opt to engage a third-party consultant, it's important to understand the processes and communication paths used in managing your project.

Director of Strategic Operations Stephanie Sutton knows complex HIT implementations "from the inside out." Her years on the client side ensure that S&P's engagements are always guided by both strategic—and practical—considerations.
Learn MoreIn partnership with S&P we have taken a different approach to our revenue cycle implementation that culminated from their experiences with Cerner and lessons learned from similar projects. This innovation is what attracted us to S&P and honestly the investment has paid off.
The role of third-party consultants in achieving optimal results with EHR, RevCycle, LIS, and other HIT projects is becoming increasingly clear: having an experienced resource to serve as an “honest broker” between in-house teams and vendor support can make the difference between success and disaster. Ask our loyal clients about the dramatic difference they’ve experienced by adding S&P to the equation.

With the experience, insight and complete transparency that S&P brings to the partnership, I feel that my organization is now in a position to take our system conversion live on time and within budget.
More than ever, it’s important to squeeze every bit of value from your HIT systems. That means understanding precisely when it’s worth leveraging the investments you’ve already made—and when it’s time to reap the ROI of new solutions. What’s critical in this process, is objectivity. And experience.
We deliver both, in assessing your infrastructure (EHR, Lab, or RevCycle) and making smart, practical recommendations in line with the realities of 2020 and beyond.
When it’s time to upgrade, our InTegrity framework ensures that projects are accountable, transparent, on-time, and on-budget.
