Axiom EPM’s integrated solutions allow more informed and dynamic business planning — the driving force behind the following enhancements to its performance management platform:

•       Service-line based budgeting and forecasting – integrates volume, revenue and workload forecasting by clinical service line to produce more accurate departmental and reimbursement projections
•       Scenario modeling – performs “what if” modeling and shows alternative views of the future, enabling provider organizations to prepare for and respond more nimbly to market and/or organizational changes
•       Initiatives-based planning – identifies the impact of various initiatives on final budget targets and reflects changes in underlying assumptions, allowing finance to model initiatives discretely and in detail

“The pace of change in healthcare is accelerating rapidly, creating unique challenges for finance departments,” said Dan Albaugh, Senior Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, Dignity Health. “The need to flex financial projections according to a wide variety of external factors is essential, and Axiom’s solutions provide the level of sophistication and scalability needed to ensure we can model efficiently and accurately in an ever-changing environment.”

“The advancements we’ve made to our healthcare solutions are designed to support provider organizations as they work to succeed in today’s challenging business landscape,” said Jay Spence, VP of healthcare solutions, Axiom EPM. “In this post-reform era, Finance is being asked to model increasingly complex scenarios that can integrate key volume, revenue and expense planning assumptions.  Our performance management solutions make it easy for Finance to efficiently model and evaluate the bottom-line impact of various scenarios allowing them to better guide and direct strategic and tactical decision–making.”
