Improve efficiency and patient care with MYOB for medical organisations.

Healthcare and medical organisations depend on timely, secure and compliant data in combination with a robust suite of tools to manage their operations. However, even for larger, more complex organisations, there is a tendency to handle processes and workflows manually. A fully featured, end-to-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system like MYOB Advanced is the stepping stone to improved efficiency for the medical industry.

Why healthcare organisations are making the change to a connected business management platform

Healthcare organisations face unique complexities and compliance requirements. Growing pressure on the medical industry has only compounded the need for effective and efficient business management. Small-business accounting software or ill-suited systems create efficiency bottlenecks and take your focus away from helping others. They create siloes for your data, which at first glance might boost security, but in the long-term, compromise efficiency and visibility.

Common pain points faced by healthcare organisations with out-of-date business management systems are:

Poor security of client and patient data,
Lack of timely reporting to boards, management, or other stakeholders,
Data and compliance management split across multiple disconnected systems,
Mistakes arising from an over-reliance on manual processes or
A growing team that is becoming increasingly difficult to onboard and manage.

MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) is a modern, powerful, secure business management platform that can be configured to meet the needs of complex healthcare organisations.

What is MYOB Advanced?

MYOB Advanced is a cloud-based Business Management Platform localised by MYOB and powered by Acumatica – the world’s fastest-growing ERP system. It provides healthcare organisations with a comprehensive set of tools for financial management, auditability and governance, customer service, and more. The software is designed to streamline business processes, automate tasks and other business events, and provide real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs). It is suitable for large, complex health and medical organisations and can be customised to suit your specific requirements.

MYOB Advanced benefits for Healthcare

There are many reasons why MYOB Advanced is the best Business Management System for healthcare organisations:

Spend less time managing spreadsheets and manual processes and more time helping your patients,
Make smarter treatment decisions with easy access to the right information,
Identify inefficient processes and better manage revenue from multiple, complex sources,
Reporting and dashboard insights provide transparency of your organisational health at a glance,
Elimination of repetitive data entry and coding errors
Robust employee and patient management,
Track compliance requirements across your organisation within a single system.

Importance of local software

There are many benefits to using a system that has been designed for your local region. All the idiosyncrasies of doing business in Australia and New Zealand will be familiar to you but not to overseas vendors. Their systems are not built to reflect the complexities that a local provider is more familiar with. MYOB Advanced has been specifically customised to meet the needs of Australian and New Zealand organisations.

MYOB is a stable and reliable local vendor. Your investment in MYOB Advanced also supports a mainstay in the ANZ market instead of going to an offshore company.

MYOB Advanced Features for Healthcare

The key features of MYOB Advanced for healthcare organisations are:

Financial management
Customer service
Inventory Management
Project accounting
MYOB Advanced Mobile app
A.P.I. for integration into existing or bespoke systems

Financial Management

MYOB Advanced has the financial tools you need to create board reports easily and track revenue across multiple sources and entities. It has support for multi-currency, multiple languages, and complex organisational structures. MYOB Advanced collects data in real time across your organisation. Dashboards and reports are automatically updated so you can see the clearest, most accurate picture of your organisation’s health.

Customer Service

MYOB Advanced provides a 360-degree view of your customer activities and records. Track your donors and members within a single integrated database to get a clear picture and maintain auditability. Take your customer service to the next level with automated activities based on the critical customer information stored in your MYOB Advanced Customer Relationship Manager (CRM).

Inventory Management

Improve tracking and management of your inventory, supply chain, and distribution with MYOB Advanced. Manage stock across multiple sites and locations with full visibility.

Project Accounting

Ensure every dollar that is donated is being spent effectively and appropriately. Track donations and grants across multiple projects and receive automatic alerts when projects are at risk of going over budget to help keep everything on track.

Payroll and Workforce Management

With the integrated MYOB Advanced Payroll (formerly People) module, you can bring HR, operations, and payroll into one place. MYOB Advanced Payroll is an all-in-one management tool that calculates finances and labour costs, analyses trends, and creates detailed reports – all in real-time and integrated into MYOB Advanced Business. It handles multiple pay groups and frequencies, leave requests and approvals, and automated onboarding.

MYOB Advanced Workforce Management

Bring onboarding, rostering, timesheets, and payroll together in one seamless, automated solution. MYOB Advanced Workforce Management is an add-on module to MYOB Advanced Payroll that improves the efficiency of even more of your administrative processes.

Mobile app

Access MYOB Advanced from any browser or via the MYOB Advanced OntheGo app. Team-based collaboration improves dramatically when working in the cloud. You can work knowing the data you are using is up to date and consistent across different teams and workflows – no matter where you sign in.

The integration of these modules within MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) promotes data consistency, reduces manual data entry, and supports informed decision-making across different areas of the institution. It allows for seamless sharing of information among departments, leading to improved collaboration and efficiency.

Overcoming the roadblocks of ERP implementation

A successful MYOB Advanced implementation relies on managing risk. Healthcare organisations should be aware of the 3 types of risk:

Software risk
Implementer risk
Self-Inflicted risk

MYOB Advanced is a reliable, stable, well-supported, powerful ERP system. It is well established as a good fit for the medical industry and has shown a strong return on investment for other organisations. To manage implementer risk, engage the services of a trusted, experienced, low-risk implementation partner.

Self-inflicted risk is perhaps the hardest aspect of an implementation for healthcare organisations to manage. Typically, the industry is held back by low budgets, a lack of confidence and willingness to invest in operational solutions, and time constraints. It can be difficult to justify the allocation of funds to a new implementation as it takes the focus away from helping your patients. However, demonstrating financial responsibility and accountability is the key to securing new investors and larger revenue streams. MYOB Advanced lets you share accurate, useful information quickly with total control over business costs and key functions. The efficiency and accountability gains from an MYOB Advanced implementation will pay dividends for the future of your organisation.

The Kilimanjaro Consulting team can help you manage the three areas of risk, ensuring a successful implementation and a strong return on your investment.

Automating manual processes
Validate data integrity
Improved reporting capabilities
System integrations if applicable, and
Process efficiency

MYOB Advanced Healthcare Case Studies

Living My Way is a Not-For-Profit (NFP) organisation supporting those with disabilities since 1992. They enable their members to live self-directed, independent lives by empowering them to find support workers to fit their needs – so they can live their way. Living My Way operates across NSW, ACT, and QLD with approximately 370 members. They struggled with managing multiple sources of funding across different revenue streams in their old accounting system. The introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) added even more complexity to their systems and processes.

Living My Way chose to implement both MYOB Advanced Business and MYOB Advanced Payroll to support their organisation into the future due to its cost-effectiveness compared to other systems. They can now bulk process invoices and report on multiple revenue streams while saving 1.5 Full-Time Employees (FTE) in the process. Claims to the NDIS are processed automatically with no manual input from the payroll team. Our skilled team created a detailed integration between Living My Way’s timesheet software and the NDIS.

MYOB Advanced Healthcare FAQs

MYOB Advanced is a complex and fully featured business management platform. Naturally, this leads to many frequently asked questions.

Where can I learn more about MYOB Advanced for medical and healthcare organisations?

How long does an MYOB Advanced implementation take?

The length of an MYOB Advanced implementation varies depending on your individual requirements. You should anticipate a minimum of 3 months for the entire implementation project, from design through to go-live.

Your relationship with an implementation partner should be a lifetime one. Choose the implementation partner not only with the skills to customise MYOB Advanced to meet your requirements, but who will be there to support you through your lifetime journey with the system.

Do you offer MYOB Advanced training for healthcare organisations?

MYOB Advanced Training is essential to get the most out of your system. Our goal is to help you become self-sufficient on your system when you go live. However, for new starters or those who need a refresher in their system we also offer supplementary online training. In the case of MYOB Advanced, because every system is so different and unique, we curate ad hoc training to suit your specific build requirements.

What kind of MYOB Advanced support do you offer?

The support team at Kilimanjaro Consulting are MYOB Advanced experts. They follow a structured methodology to minimise risk and ensure your system works perfectly when the ticket is closed. Our team will always submit a written quote before undertaking any work, to ensure our support costs are clear and transparent.

Continuous support and Business Process Improvement help you get the most out of your investment in MYOB Advanced. Support rates are typically bundled into packages; however, you could also opt to pay for support by the time spent to resolve your problem – usually at a more expensive rate.

What are the costs involved when implementing MYOB Advanced for the medical industry?

Just like the implementation timelines for MYOB Advanced, the implementation costs also vary from organisation to organisation.

Every MYOB Advanced site is different, and the price reflects this. Because you only pay for the modules you use, and every organisation will use the system differently and with a different number of users, the final cost will vary drastically.

An MYOB Advanced implementation will cost between $50k and $100k depending on the individual requirements. More complex organisations could fit outside this range. Ongoing licence fees range between $2k to $5k per month.

Your organisation may be more or less complex than the exemplar. The best way to find out how much it will cost is to talk to an expert. Our team will attempt to understand the uniqueness of your organisation, how MYOB Advanced can best meet your needs, and provide a quote for implementation and ongoing licences and support.

How will Kilimanjaro Consulting help my organisation to adopt MYOB Advanced?

You may not have gone through an implementation before, but we have. Kilimanjaro Consulting places a supreme focus on the minimisation and mitigation of risk in your implementation. We follow a systematic framework to guide clients and the implementer step-by-step through the process. Without a structured implementation methodology, the speed and sequence of steps will be confused, resulting in frustration and dissatisfaction. A structured methodology incorporates the lessons learned from experience, ensuring that the same mistakes will not be made again.
