Albuquerque & Hartford (PRWEB) August 1, 2003
TriCore Reference Laboratories, New MexicoÂ’s largest medical laboratory, and Rhodes Group, Inc., a leading Connecticut-based healthcare management & IT consulting firm, announce the implementation of the Rhodes Scholar Platform, Rhodes GroupÂ’s proprietary business intelligence and decision support solution for optimizing revenue and improving financial performance of medical laboratory outreach business lines.
"We chose the Rhodes Scholar decision support system because it allows TriCore to go beyond standard data analysis to meet our unique information needs,” said Stella Saindon, TriCore Reference Laboratories’ chief financial officer. “We love being able to query the database to answer specific questions. A major benefit has been seen from quick, ‘on-the-fly’ analyses of data from our accounts receivables and billing system. Rhodes Scholar gives us the power to generate current, comprehensive reports in minutes that meet all our criteria without having to wait for an end-of-month ‘accumulation’ as with other systems. This lets us change priorities quickly, which is critical.”
“TriCore is an innovative organization strategically positioning itself to compete, increase market share and enhance profitability in the laboratory services industry of the future,” said Sam Merkouriou, Rhodes Group’s chief executive officer. “Rhodes Scholar consistently delivers accurate and timely information on TriCore’s financial and operational performance, empowering the laboratory with the intelligence and metrics it needs to take corrective actions, optimize revenue, and deliver significant results to the bottom line.”
“We’re enjoying our relationship with Rhodes,” said Saindon. “There’s a comfort level there. We trust their abilities, and we’ve been impressed by their knowledge of Misys’ healthcare information products.”
