Case Study: University of Mississippi Medical Center reduces costs with Veradigm EPSi

Combining clinical and financial data to identify significant cost reductions

The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), the state's only academic health science center, required integrated financial and clinical analytics to support more strategic budgeting and identify opportunities to reduce costs. To address this challenge, UMMC implemented the Allscripts EPSi platform for its open architecture and customizable financial decision support tools.

Using Allscripts EPSi, UMMC combined its clinical and financial data to analyze operations. This allowed them to identify over $680,000 in unnecessary annual lab testing costs and an additional $650,000 in potential savings from optimizing high-cost medication use. The solution from Allscripts provided the integrated analytics needed to quantify these opportunities and is now central to UMMC’s ongoing efforts to improve care and find operational efficiencies.
