Carroll Hospital Center Live on Lawson Enterprise Software Solution

Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster, Maryland, recently completed an organization-wide deployment of multiple enterprise software applications from Lawson Software.

The healthcare provider implemented Lawson Enterprise Financial Management and Asset Management suites as well as Lawson Business Intelligence. In addition to the core Lawson applications, the hospital is fully operational with the Lawson Human Resource Management suite, including Employee and Manager Self-Service, Payroll, Budgeting and Planning and ProcessFlow Integrator. These applications are helping the hospital reduce operational costs, improve administrative efficiency and automate personnel processes.

“Everyone who works at this hospital had a keen interest in the smooth implementation of this system, because it affects everything from how they care for patients to how they get paid,” said Kim Moreau, chief information officer at Carroll Hospital Center. “Our staff members like it because it gives them more control over their own information through self-service functionality, and it reduces or even eliminates some paperwork. Management likes it because they have a lot more information at their fingertips, in usable form, available online in real time. The Lawson solution makes everyone’s job easier, faster, more accurate and more immediate.”
