Behavioral Health Provider prepares to deploy Universal Contract Manager
Bridgewater, NJ – September 29, 2016 – iContracts, a leading provider of contract, compliance and revenue management solutions today announced that Lifeways, Inc., a comprehensive mental health services provider serving ten locations throughout Oregon and Idaho, has selected iContracts’ Universal Contract Manager (UCM), to effectively manage contracts, expand visibility, improve collaboration, reduce costs and optimize performance. Lifeways will utilize iContracts’ contract management solution to streamline all aspects of contract and compliance management within their organization.
Historically, Lifeways managed contracts through a combination of spreadsheets and manual processes, using a paper-based system in which all contracts and associated documents were stored in an on-site location. With staff routinely accessing contracts on a daily basis, the need to make key contract data as well as the contracts themselves easily accessible without the need to comb through physical documents, became increasingly important.
“Lifeways was searching for a contract management solution that would allow us to efficiently organize and track activities for contracts and agreements throughout our organization,” said Barry Borger, Controller. “After considering alternatives, we decided Universal Contract Manager was clearly the best choice to centralize our contracts and improve our contract management processes. We look forward to implementing the solution and expanding the use of this powerful business tool to other areas within our organization.”
iContracts’ UCM is a software service over the web, thus requiring no investment in facilities, hardware, software, or related costs. All aspects of a healthcare provider’s contract management lifecycle, including contract creation, monitoring of key milestones and compliance can be managed by UCM with minimal assistance from the IT department.
“Lifeways recognizes the value of effective contract management to their operations and we are proud they have trusted iContracts for this important initiative,” commented Leigh Powell, Chief Executive Officer of iContracts. The need for a contract management solution within the behavioral healthcare market continues to grow as we engage with institutions of all types and sizes across the country. We look forward to working closely with the Lifeways team and forging a lasting relationship.”
