Hospices Civils de Lyon decided to implement a new management system based on the Oracle ERP application to support the shift to new management processes more focused on driving higher performance in both medical services and business efficiency.
Atos says the system’s management accounting capabilities will enable the hospital to address the challenges inherent in the major reforms now underway in French hospital care, such as budget planning and controls, while at the same time improving management productivity. In particular, these upgrades are designed to enhance the administrative services provided for healthcare delivery units.
The project also aims to plan and develop the Hospices Civils de Lyon information system through the integration of best management practices into the ERP system and by reducing the number of applications in the system, thus lowering maintenance costs.
The new system has several key functionalities which include preparation and application of budgets and year-end forecasts, procurement management, central listing of products and suppliers, management, general ledger and budget accounting.
