Riverside County Regional Medical Center Selects Surado CRM
Next Generation Healthcare System Designed and Developed using Surado CRM Health.

Riverside, CA, March 31, 2008 - Surado Solutions, the emerging innovator in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions, today announced that Riverside County Regional Medical Center (RCRMC) went live with Surado CRM Health earlier this month replacing its current Indigent Managed Care System as part of its Comprehensive Case Management system initiative. 

The Medical Center is a 520,000 square foot state-of-the-art tertiary care and level II adult and pediatric facility, licensed for a total of 439 beds. There are 364 licensed beds in the main acute-care hospital, and 77 licensed beds in a separate psychiatric facility. RCRMC has 12 operating rooms, a helipad located directly adjacent to the Trauma Center, and state-of-the-art digital radiology services, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) and all single bed rooms. 

RCRMC needed a powerful, flexible, highly customizable and scalable workflow based system geared towards high growth and provide better customer service. One goal was to standardize business processes through comprehensive workflows and automated business rules to improve efficiency and provide a new level of care throughout the Medical Center.  RCRMC went through a rigorous competitive bid process resulting in the selection and subsequent purchase of a 300 User license of Surado CRM with various modules including Surado Integration Module, Surado Audit Trail and Surado Version Check.  

Riverside County Regional Medical Center successfully completed an Indigent Services System, named HealthCRM. Using Surado CRM as the foundation for Indigent Services Business needs and working with Surado consultants, hospital staff created business solutions for Eligibility, Claims, and Financials. By leveraging Contact Management and features of Workflow within the Surado Enterprise product, and the use of Microsoft Visual Studio, RCRMC has been able to incorporate business practices into consistent business processes.  RCRMC information technology software engineers developed more than 240 custom healthcare screens for various business functions including indigent Patient Registration, Scheduling, Eligibility Tracking, Claims Adjudication and Processing and Provider Relations.  Reporting and Analytics using built in reporting tools and integration with Business Objects’ Crystal Report Writer will provide managers and administrator with operational reporting as well as key performance indicators. Complex business rules and screen designs were accomplished using Surado CRM Custom Application Designer (CAD) which is part of the Core Surado CRM system. 

RCRMCs Chief Information Techology Officer, Edward Papp, is considering expanding the use of the CRM solution into other areas of the hospital. "With tightening economic constraints in public health, Surado provided an affordable alternative to outdated and manual processes.” said Edward Papp, Chief Information Officer of RCRMC. 

“With Surado CRM Health, we are maximizing the impact of CRM technology to improve organizational and productivity results in the healthcare setting by integrating technology with clinical and operational workflow. For RCRMC, Surado delivered a product where extensive rapid application development features and automation work in concert to deliver a better user and patient experience.” said Sundip R. Doshi, CEO of Surado Solutions, Inc.
