Global consulting and professional services leader, Deloitte, is making significant strides in the healthcare sector by leveraging advanced cloud technologies. Lynda Cacioppo, Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting LLP, sheds light on the company's unique approach and its impactful relationship with Atlantic Health System, outlining the transformative impact of its services.
Deloitte's expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare and enterprise performance, leading large, complex Oracle-enabled business transformations for healthcare organizations. Cacioppo emphasizes the company's commitment to integrating advanced technology with healthcare experience, providing comprehensive solutions to the industry's complex challenges.
A noteworthy collaboration for the company is with Atlantic Health System, a partnership that spans over three decades. The focus of this collaboration has been the implementation of Oracle Cloud technologies, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Cloud Applications across various domains like Finance, ERP, SCM, HCM, Payroll, and EPM.
Cacioppo highlights Deloitte's pivotal role in this Oracle Cloud implementation, providing leadership, healthcare-leading business practices, and deep Oracle functional and technical knowledge required for the successful deployment. The implementation at Atlantic Health System serves as a prime example of how technology can revolutionize an organization's operations, aiming to position the healthcare provider for continuous development and improvement, particularly in financial strength.
The company's approach goes beyond technological upgrades, focusing on holistic transformation of business processes. Cacioppo emphasizes “It’s not just a lift and shift of technology. We approach these as business transformations that are enabled by an Oracle Cloud solution.” This strategic approach ensures that organizations are not only equipped with the latest technology but are also prepared for future advancements, including artificial Intelligence.
A key aspect of Deloitte's strategy is understanding and meeting the diverse needs of various stakeholders. Cacioppo highlights the inclusive approach in the Atlantic Health project, where the project team collaborates closely with Deloitte, representing the organization and ensuring that all parts have their voices heard, leading to effective and comprehensive solutions.
Atlantic Health System, having worked with Deloitte on the Oracle Cloud implementation, witnessed significant improvements in both patient and employee experiences. Streamlining processes resulted in more time for nurses and clinicians to engage with patients, a critical measure in healthcare effectiveness. Additionally, the efficiency of supply chain and financial operations was enhanced, reducing manual work and ensuring accurate and trustworthy data management.
As Deloitte continues to play a crucial role in the healthcare sector, particularly in guiding organizations through the complexities of emerging technologies, Cacioppo's insights into the future highlight the integration of clinical systems with advanced technologies offered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and applications, indicating the direction in which the industry is heading.
