Eclipsys Revenue Cycle Solutions Enable WellSpan Health Systems to Improve Cash Flow to 98 Percent of Net Revenue

Eclipsys Corporation® (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company®, today announced that WellSpan Health Systems (Wellspan), a fully integrated health system located in south-central Pennsylvania, has experienced record outcomes after successfully implementing Eclipsys’ Sunrise Access Manager™ and Sunrise Patient Financials™ at its two acute care facilities, York and Gettysburg hospitals. "We selected Eclipsys because they have proven solutions in the marketplace capable of handling any payer contract, plus they give us an unprecedented level of functionality in our patient accounting system,” said Linda Sheaffer, CPAM, CCAM, corporate director of Patient Administration Services. "Before using Eclipsys, we inherently knew money was being left on the table. Now we’ve leveraged technology to develop an integrated process for both of our hospitals and it has enabled us to collect 98 percent of expected net revenue to increase cash for operations and profit to the bottom line.” WellSpan implemented Eclipsys Revenue Cycle solutions at its York Hospital after having long struggled with complex managed care and compliance requirements, coupled with staff-intensive, back-end processes. As a result, the organization had insufficient contract management, long A/R cycles, decreased cash flow and excessive care management administrative processes. After seeing the positive results of that install, the health system extended the implementation to its Gettysburg Hospital. The use of Sunrise Access Manager and Sunrise Patient Financials has enabled both hospitals to streamline patient financial operations, boost employee productivity while ensuring compliance with multiple payer requirements and complex regulatory environments. In addition, WellSpan has realized increased efficiency in its registration process, resulting in cleaner claims and reduced managed care denials. The organization also has significantly increased point of service collections by electronically determining patient co-pays and deductibles. The Eclipsys solutions also are providing WellSpan managers with immediate feedback about organizational operations, with actionable information to improve performance. With Eclipsys Revenue Cycle solutions, WellSpan has seen the following outcomes: Reduced annual net A/R days by combined 28% (46 days at York Hospital; 37 at Gettysburg) Attained highest cash collections ever: 98% on net revenue Reduced managed care denials and write-offs Improved registration quality to 99% through bill edits Increased point-of-service collections 54% to $1.2 million Raised clean-claim throughput to 99% Implemented a combined business office requiring less staff resources "WellSpan is another example of how Eclipsys continues to distinguish itself in the marketplace with a concentrated focus on delivering solutions that can drive measurable outcomes,” said Jay Deady, Eclipsys executive vice president, Client Solutions. "These types of great client results are fueling our strong sales performance and the continued momentum of our revenue cycle business.” About WellSpan Health Systems WellSpan Health is a fully integrated system serving Adams and York counties in Pennsylvania, as well as Northern Maryland.
