The platform allows finance professionals to analyze data and make some predictions about the future. The company's cost-accounting approach provides the framework for performing accurate patient-level cost analysis, while the capital planning solution features modeling tools; those tools help organizations determine which requests for capital are worth funding.

James Bodan, executive vice president of Kaufman Hall's Healthcare Software Division, said in a statement that the modern healthcare industry requires a disciplined approach to cost accounting and capital planning.

"In today's value-based world," he said, "full visibility into financial and clinical data … is a critical success factor."
