CareCloud's medSR enters partnership with East Tennessee Children's Hospital

CareCloud has announced a partnership between CareCloud's medSR division and East Tennessee Children's Hospital, ETCH, that will enhance patient experience and increase cost efficiency at the hospital through supply chain improvement. Heading the partnership is medSR, which has been working with the hospital for the past eight months to solve costly supply chain problems. medSR and ETCH now plan to implement an enterprise resource planning system that will bolster efforts already underway by medSR to update the hospital's processes and operations, reduce costs, refine strategic and financial planning, while simultaneously providing better patient care. "Supply chain represents the second largest expense for any healthcare institution, and the current raw material and labor shortages make navigating supply procurement that much harder," said Dwight Garvin, medSR's executive vice president and chief operating officer. "medSR can help alleviate some of those burdens by acting as an extension of ETCH. The implementation of the ERP will increase business intelligence for the hospital by automating processes and improving the accuracy of data which can help ETCH make better decisions and, ultimately, improve the patient experience."
