IT Optimization

Comprehensive IT Cost Reduction & Performance Improvement

Demands on health systems’ Information Technology (IT) teams continue to grow exponentially. ERP and EMR implementations, integrations accompanying mergers and acquisitions, and securing an ever-expanding digital footprint are just a few of the challenges being faced by these teams -  all while keeping the environment secure and running smoothly. Over time, these demands have forced many health systems to focus on ensuring coverage vs. optimization, ultimately leaving significant dollars on the table. 

SpendMend partners with our clients to help optimize their IT environment. Our comprehensive lifecycle approach ensures that hospitals have the right structure and get the right technology with improved agreements, meaningful SLAs, preferred pricing, and optimized licensing and utilization schemas. Our work saves hospitals, on average, 8%-15% of their IT budget.

What our clients are saying

  • SpendMend’s innovative process appears to leave no stone unturned and has identified and recovered significant dollars.

    Controller - Regional Health System

  • The SpendMend Client Portal allows me to review claims whenever I want – 24 hours a day – on my schedule; and without receiving stacks of paper, which makes the distance between our offices no problem

    Controller, Regional Health System

  • Not only did failures in a previous audit firm’s process result in lower recovery, but also some of the ‘claimed’ recovery dollars had to be paid back to vendors due to rejections. SpendMend has worked with vendors to ensure accurate, valid, approved claims; with better results.

    Manager, Accounts Payable, Medical Center, Northern US

  • SpendMend is a non-intrusive asset and great to work with; they build relationships with their clients and truly understand the Procure-to-Pay process.

    Material Manager, Midwest Healthcare Organization

  • If our team is finding money from recovery audits then I know there are many other non-profit hospital systems that would find value in executing this work as well.

    SCM Manager of Large Midwest IDN

  • I think the SpendMend staff is top notch and very professional and very knowledgeable. I work hand in hand with your people and I think you have great people and a great culture.

    Director of Finance, $11B/8500 Bed Healthcare System
