Skokie, IL, August 2, 2016 — Kaufman Hall, a leading provider of strategic, capital and financial advisory services and software tools to healthcare organizations, today announced that East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH), a not-for-profit community hospital in Louisiana, has expanded its partnership with the company. A longtime consulting customer, EJGH recently implemented Kaufman Hall’s Axiom Software solutions for Budgeting, Capital Planning and Performance Reporting – all delivered on a single, integrated platform.

Axiom Software will empower EJGH to analyze results, model the future and optimize organizational decision-making. EJGH selected Kaufman Hall’s solutions based on the company’s proven track record of superior customer service, as demonstrated by the highest satisfaction ratings in three categories in Gartner’s annual corporate performance management report for the past two consecutive years.

“Kaufman Hall has demonstrated time and again its competence in providing us with solid, strategic advice, firmly establishing itself as trusted partner,” said James Revels, Director of Financial Planning and Analysis at EJGH. “Our experience, coupled with the company’s reputation for a high level of personalized customer attention, has made us very confident in its ability to further support our evolving financial management needs with its software.”

With Kaufman Hall’s Axiom budgeting solution, EJGH can drive efficient, accurate, and transparent budget development and deliver results that management can trust. Further, with the company’s capital planning solution, EJGH has a more structured and disciplined approach to the allocation and management of capital, allowing the organization to decipher which requests for capital warrant funding and provide the strongest business benefits.

“Our partnership with EJGH has grown significantly since our initial engagement, which we view as a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and service,” said Kaufman Hall’s Executive Vice President, James Bodan. “With our software solutions, EJGH is better equipped than ever to address a wide range of strategic and financial concerns associated with the shift to value-based care.”
