Well, I’m looking forward to part 2 of this post, very interesting, and my recent experience is telling me that, like in other industries, Healthcare executives are appreciating more and more quick and deep insight in their operations, of course solid and functional system underneath is needed to gather all information, but that is different story, especially in Healthcare...
SAP Crystal Reports (and other BOBJ solutions) certainly gives more possibilities and to be honest is easier to consume compared to integrated reports from ERP or IS-H, of course it is licensed separately, but I’m sure it is worth it, especially in times when economic and legal environment is changing rapidly.
One question comes to mind, can we use these reports for legal compliance issues. For example creating file of certain structure (not just excel, word or pdf) which is required to be sent to regional authorities – it could be elegant alternative to developing custom reports in transactional system, you know that Healthcare is specific for being heavily regulated locally which is making use of one solution (like IS-H) across different countries and regions more challenging.
Thanks & best regards,
Vladimir
