Benefits

b-Wize HEALTH capitalizes on our detailed knowledge of the sector, developed through deployment of the solution in over 70 CPAM (local health insurance fund) in France.

Even more so than in other sectors, health organizations must often handle contradictory needs:

• Productivity of support functions (accounting, mail service, purchasing)
• Data security and confidentiality
• Profitability

The b-Wize solution can be used for reading-in and managing documents received by organizations such as mutual insurance companies and other private health organizations. b-Wize HEALTH accelerates processing of payment methods, enabling bank deposits on day D instead of D+7 on average, and thus improving the company's cash flow.

Productivity gains are also achieved in the accounting department, which, freed from manual input of invoices, can focus on higher value-added tasks.

Data security is a fundamental element in the management of health documents: File access management, data encryption, etc.

Elimination of unnecessary tasks

Re-insourcing and automation of document processing enables numerous unnecessary tasks to be eliminated:

• Manual entry of documents
• Outsourcing and its costs in terms of supplier relationship management
• Duplication of documents for distribution to different departments
• Paper handling for the purpose of document storage

Productivity gains in processing incoming mail

The high productivity gains – from 300 to 500% – generated by b-Wize HEALTH are linked to:

• Reduction of sorting, indexing and input costs
• Accuracy of the data read
• Simplified document searches
• No more risk of losing documents

Improved cash flow
