Our breadth of system conversion experience and specialized resources enable your staff to learn a new system while staying laser focused on achieving leading practice accounts receivable metrics before and after transition.

Problem
Converting from one back office system to another is often more complicated and time-consuming than expected. Long before a new system goes live, staff must learn new processes and be trained to use the new system. When focus moves from working accounts to training, productivity can slump, having huge financial consequences as accounts receivable are not adequately serviced.
Solution
Unlike a hospital’s staff that may have never experienced a conversion, Convergent has helped many hospitals switch to a variety of systems. By moving all or a portion of the existing AR to Convergent, the hospital frees-up its resources to focus on the conversion without jeopardizing current cash flow, as well as ensuring the investment made in the system is fully realized.
Result
Convergent can reduce the risk and cost of system conversion by adding skilled accounts receivable management staff to the hospital team; this partnership will help maintain or improve cash flow and AR days before and after the conversion is implemented.
