FEATURED TESTIMONIAL

In 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.

Ben Schaab 

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.

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL

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.

Kenny Koerner MBA, CRCE

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.
