Great Plains Health Alliance (GPHA), a not-for-profit healthcare management system, has joined forces with Multiview Financial Software in a strategic partnership to enhance hospitals’ productivity.
The collaboration will bring Multiview’s cloud-based ERP software to GPHA’s network of hospitals in a bid to boost financial management and interoperability.
The software integrates seamlessly with GPHA’s electronic health record (EHR) vendor, providing improved interoperability and streamlining operations. This partnership is also hoped to deliver better financial solutions to GPHA hospitals, with a focus on rural and critical access facilities.
“We are excited to offer Multiview’s ERP solutions to our clients to improve the efficiency of their back-office operations,” said Tana Sells, chief information officer of GPHA. “Our top priority is to provide the best solutions for our hospital clients, and we believe Multiview ERP will be able to support our clients so that they can spend more time caring for their patients and communities and less time on administration.”
Multiview ERP has a long history of delivering user-friendly financial applications to healthcare organizations. Currently, over 4 percent of US hospitals use Multiview’s solutions, including rural and community hospitals similar to those in GPHA’s network. The software’s scalability and dynamic reporting capabilities have a track record of helping healthcare organizations break down data silos, automate accounting processes and improve access to financial information.
Michael Johnson, president and CEO of Multiview, said: “Both GPHA and Multiview share a dedication to support rural and critical access hospitals, and we are excited to bring our affordable, powerful solution to GPHA hospitals at a broader scale.”
Founded in 1950, GPHA is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit healthcare management systems in the US. The organization manages, leases and affiliates with hospitals across Kansas and Nebraska, providing comprehensive services and expertise to support rural healthcare.
Last year, another healthcare solutions company, TruBridge announced a partnership with Multiview Financial Software, benefiting from Multiview’s ERP software. As a preferred financial management solution, with the ability to integrate TruBridge’s electronic health record (EHR), Multiview is offering enhanced interoperability.
What it means for ERP Insiders
Transforming daily operations for healthcare financial professionals
For healthcare financial professionals like controllers, CFOs and accounting managers, the partnership between Multiview Financial Software and Great Plains Health Alliance (GPHA) promises a significant transformation in day-to-day operations. By implementing Multiview’s cloud-based ERP software, GPHA’s network of rural and critical access hospitals gains advanced tools for financial management, streamlining complex workflows and enhancing interoperability with electronic health record (EHR) systems. This integration means less time reconciling fragmented data and more time on strategic financial planning. End-users can expect to see automated accounting processes, real-time financial insights and dynamic reporting capabilities tailored to the unique needs of rural healthcare facilities – making financial management more efficient and transparent.
The growing demand for interoperable ERP solutions in healthcare
The healthcare ERP market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing need for financial transparency and operational efficiency. As hospitals and healthcare organizations face rising regulatory demands and tighter budgets, solutions like Multiview’s become essential. Multiview is competing in a market that includes major players like Oracle NetSuite and SAP, which also offer ERP solutions tailored to healthcare. With over 4 percent of US hospitals already using Multiview, the vendor is carving a niche in rural and community healthcare. Partnerships like those with GPHA and TruBridge highlight a broader trend: healthcare organizations are prioritizing ERP systems that integrate seamlessly with EHRs, supporting data-driven decision-making and fostering interoperability. Analysts project the global healthcare ERP market to grow at a CAGR of 6-8 percent through 2030, signaling a robust demand for these solutions.
Criteria for evaluating healthcare ERP providers
When evaluating ERP providers, end-users should prioritize integration capabilities, scalability and user-friendliness. Seamless integration with existing EHR systems is critical to avoid new data silos. Scalability ensures the software can adapt to the evolving needs of healthcare organizations, particularly as they grow or encounter new regulatory challenges. User-friendliness, combined with robust training and support, ensures that financial teams can quickly adapt and leverage the software effectively. Furthermore, rural and critical access hospitals should seek solutions with a proven track record in their specific setting, ensuring that the ERP system aligns with their unique operational challenges. In the case of Multiview and GPHA, the partnership exemplifies a tailored approach, delivering a solution built for the nuanced demands of rural healthcare finance.
