IFS Applications vs. Thrive Technologies

Order to cash processes and scenario are implemented natively in IFS. An HR module exists for career management also (objectives, comportments, training, mobility) but may be improved in terms of workflow validation (e.g. training to validate by a manager) or reporting.

For our small hospital, the cost of the operation is a great value. Like any EHR, there are going to be limitations. Our hospital is not part of a larger health system, so did not have the pressure of spending more money to have a system which fed into a larger organization, so it works for us in this capacity. With so many hospitals jumping on EHRs like Epic and Oracle, it seems like this has only increased the overall cost of healthcare. [...] does also have a great revenue cycle component to it that expands across other EHRs. In the past, Thrive Technologies was a all encompassing system, but like most has a separate payroll system and now separate GL that you could also add. This is indicative of the software in general for healthcare unfortunately.

• Although it's simpler than many alternatives, it's a highly complex system and at times we felt lost during the transition period.
• We didn't get the results we had imagined when looking at their case studies and marketing materials. I understand many factors go into those things, and their case studies are not necessarily indicative of typical results, but your mileage may vary.
• Inventory replenishment alerts about potential stockouts weren't always reliable.

The system is very difficult to use, overly complex, and difficult to learn. It also has limitations that are hard to overcome.

Depending on what subsystem, I think some work much better than others. For example on the patient accounting side, it is fairly easy to use, but does require a couple extra keystrokes. On the clinical side, I have heard similar statements. On the financial/accounts payable side, it is easier to use, while there are scenarios in which it would be nice to have a few more features.

We have been unable to get answers to our questions, solutions to our problems, and they don't seem interested in working in the construction industry.

IFS Applications is based on Agile Technology which allows organizations to reconfigure user interface as per user requirements and make it user-friendly. Other applications are lagging on many fronts like User Interface, Online help document availability, Implementation methodology, and post-implementation expenses.

Thrive Technologies is significantly more cost effective than the others, while it does lack some of the features (bells and whistles). Most of our neighboring hospitals are using these other systems, which does make it is tough to connect to them, as it seems like these larger systems have a juggernaut on the market and the costs of these is only increasing.

• Reporting is now centralized and managed. Previously, reports were outside the information systems and there was a risk of incoherence.
• Accounting controls are now in place on the overall processes, including production, which helped the company to reduce closing periods or to produce more easily official mandatory accounting files yearly.
• Interfaces between the CRM forecast tool and IFS helped to keep the tools in sync, and to decrease the processing times prior to production launch.
