TIBCO Software, a business integration and process management software company that enables real-time business, has announced that its customer, Geisinger Health System, has won a first place award in the 2006 Process Innovation Awards for its use of TIBCO's business process management (BPM) software, TIBCO iProcess Suite, to drive greater efficiencies in clinical, business and financial processes across its organisation.
Created by Kinetic Information LLC in 1996 to honour superior applications for their business effectiveness, and co-sponsored by IMERGE Consulting, the programme presents Innovative Solution Awards to organisations that have implemented applications that are returning significant business benefit.
In addition to taking first place honours in the Innovative Solution Awards, Geisinger Health was also recognised as a second place winner for the prestigious "Vision Award" - an additional award presented by Kinetic Information and IMERGE Consulting that honours the technology initiative that exhibits the greatest potential for transforming a business or social process.
"TIBCO's iProcess Suite has enabled us to realise significant process improvements across multiple areas of our organisation - from patient safety and records management to customer service and financials," says David Partsch, Program Director, Enterprise Imaging and Content Management for Geisinger Health System. "We are thrilled to be recognised not only for our innovative use of this solution to drive efficiency and service gains, but also for our vision in laying a foundation that will support cross-enterprise process excellence."
Geisinger Health System is a physician-led healthcare system in north-eastern Pennsylvania providing healthcare, education and research services spanning 42 counties, 20 000 square miles and 2.5 million people. By leveraging TIBCO's iProcess Suite to streamline and automate critical organisational processes, Geisinger has greatly enhanced performance in three key areas: clinical document management, customer service and support and accounts payable. The company has seen significant cost savings as well as improved access to important medical records across the organisation, realised better and faster customer service, and has enabled seamless compliance with regulatory requirements such as HIPAA.
Innovation Solution Award winners were selected based on their ability to leverage cutting-edge technologies to realise process improvements and gains in the following areas: productivity, profitability, ability to adapt to market conditions, and competitive standing/market share.
"We congratulate our customer on winning these awards and are pleased that TIBCO iProcess Suite delivered the capabilities and scalability that were needed to support processes across multiple systems, people and departments," says Marco Gerazounis, South African Country Manager at TIBCO. "The gains that Geisinger Health System has achieved underscore the power of BPM to align business with IT to truly transform performance. We hope to extend these capabilities to similar companies in the local market."
