Business Issue

Manual workflows and Epic ticketing bottlenecks in CDM Master created inefficiencies, slowing turnaround times and burdening limited IT resources. With only two staff members managing the chargemaster, they needed a more efficient, scalable solution.

Before FinThrive

Frequent Epic tickets required for basic charge changes

Manual data entry for fee schedules, cost centers and CPT codes

No unified view of pharmacy and supply data (Willow and Optime)

Compliance and error checking occurred late in the workflow

Solution Highlights

Native Epic integration automates CDM updates and reduces IT reliance

Full visibility into Willow, Optime and CDM data from a single interface

Auto-reconciliation and in-line compliance validation streamlines processes

Task routing and workflow notifications accelerates collaboration across teams

Catholic Health is a nonprofit health system based in Long Island, NY, with 6 hospitals, 2 nursing homes, and extensive pharmacy and supply operations. The organization migrated from CDM Master to FinThrive’s CDM Management to better handle over 90,000 items across departments.
