Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the healthcare market leader in automated value cycle solutions, today announced it is successfully leveraging a consultative implementation approach across all solutions to measurably improve customer financial and operational performance. This approach is founded upon LEAN principles for effective process development and includes utilizing voice of the customer exercises to develop Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) trees; discovery questionnaires; role assessments; and application-specific value scorecards.

Craneware’s flagship solution, Chargemaster Toolkit®, has earned the KLAS No.1 ranking in Revenue Cycle – Chargemaster Management for 12 of the past 13 years with implementation, support and ongoing customer experience being key metrics. Following an in-depth customer discovery to understand unique business processes and areas for driving value, monthly scorecards ensure optimal use of Craneware products by tracking key KPIs such as end user productivity, data health and monitoring, and related financial impacts. This provides customers with a starting point for ongoing measurement of financial and operational performance following implementation.
