Black Book™ Announces Top Client-Rated Software and Services Vendors for Achieving Financial Digital Transformation

In total, 484 hospitals and inpatient organizations and 713 physician practices were represented in the sweeping Q1-Q2 2019 series of polls.

​The highest rated vendors in customer satisfaction and client experience are announced by Black Book Research in 20 specific categories of financial digital transformation.

Black Book™ surveyed nearly 1,600 hospital and health system Chief Financial Officers, Vice Presidents of Finance and RCM, Controllers, Business Office Managers, Staff, Consultants and Directors to determine the top-performing vendors among in-demand financial software, systems and outsourcing services, and assess the gaps and urgencies of financial technology administration.

Additionally, 124 CEOs were polled to compare and contrast organizational viewpoints to the same situations and circumstances.

With health system margins waned below three percent nationwide, providers urgently seek opportunities for digital transformations to capture all revenue through updated software solutions and anticipate industry shifts through innovative analytics and forecasting tools.

Black Book conducts polls and surveys with healthcare executives and front-line users about their current technology and services partners and awards top-performing vendors based on performance based on 18 indicators of client experience, loyalty and customer satisfaction.

“The latest wave of challenges accompanying the shift to value-based care finds most providers navigating through empowering virtual health, initiating highly patient positive experiences and sinking margins,” said Black Book's Managing Partner Doug Brown. “The lack of advanced analytic tools, strategic dysfunction caused by failed software integrations and outdated dashboard and decision support systems has put focus on the immediate technology needs of Chief Financial Officers.”

80% of CFOs and senior leaders in the 2019 Black Book survey revealed the absolute and immediate need for digital transformations in their finance divisions for long term survival of their healthcare organization.
