Case Study: Community Health Systems achieves streamlined financial management and faster, flexible reporting with Blackbaud Financial Edge

Community Health Systems - Customer Case Study

Community Health Systems is the nonprofit parent of Community VNA and HealthCare Options, responsible for consolidated accounting across those agencies. The organization struggled with inconsistent accounting practices and software, heavy reliance on spreadsheets and manual processes, slow tax and month-end reconciliations, and a growing need to go paperless while supporting a new point-of-care system that lacked a general ledger.

They implemented Blackbaud Financial Edge™, creating a three-database structure that preserves each corporation’s finances while sharing cost structures. The system delivered flexible, easy-to-use reporting that cut manual work, made consolidation and program-level analysis fast and reliable, and was simple for less technical staff to adopt—enabling smoother growth and more efficient financial management.
