Kaufman Hall Software is now Syntellis Performance Solutions

SKOKIE, Ill. – June 26, 2018 – In keeping with its ongoing commitment to help healthcare providers optimize performance, Kaufman Hall today unveiled the latest in its line of innovative software solutions that will extend its Axiom Healthcare Suite.  

Axiom Strategy Management provides a comprehensive view of business performance across multiple areas – financial, clinical, operational, etc. – and enables leadership teams to manage organization-wide initiatives to achieve business goals. Axiom Comparative Analytics enables healthcare organizations to gauge their financial performance against peers (as well as inter-facility and inter-departmental) with the industry’s most robust and up-to-date data set.

Both products are making their public debut at the Healthcare Finance Management Association’s (HFMA) 2018 Annual Conference in Las Vegas and will be available in fall 2018. The leading provider of management consulting services, enterprise performance management and decision support software will demonstrate them in its conference booth (No. 207) and they also will be prominently featured in the show’s Innovation Hub.

“We’ve talked to a number of providers over some time, and most have expressed the need for these types of capabilities,” said Craig Schiff, President and CEO of BPM Partners. “In today’s dynamic healthcare environment, organizations must a have clear picture of performance so they can improve organizational alignment.  Identifying root-cause issues and developing initiatives to address them are paramount.”

“Kaufman Hall has built a culture of continuous innovation of software and services to help providers manage a healthcare environment that presents new challenges every day,” said Wes Champion, CEO of Kaufman Hall. “By delivering a holistic view of performance in every area, we are able to provide organizational leaders with the business decision support they’ve been missing to determine what actions to take today, and how to achieve their goals.”
