Recondo and Sutherland Partner to Improve the Hospital Revenue Cycle and Business Process Outsourcing

DENVER and CLIFTON, N.J., Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Recondo Technology (Recondo) and Sutherland Healthcare Solutions (SHS) announced today a partnership to enhance Recondo's cloud-based revenue cycle connectivity and applications with Sutherland's Revenue Cycle Services and Business Process Outsourcing.  The agreement also calls for Sutherland to resell Recondo's solutions to the more than 100 healthcare organizations that use Sutherland's business process outsourcing (BPO), IT outsourcing, consulting and analytics services.

The partnership joins Sutherland's revenue cycle expertise and proficiency in improving the end-user experience and support services with Recondo's ability to ensure proper and accelerated payments across the care continuum.  Hospital customers of both companies will benefit from the combination of Sutherland's services and Recondo's applications to improve the efficiency of their revenue cycle.

"We are very pleased to have an organization like Recondo utilize our capabilities to cost-effectively automate and manage aspects of their solution development. In addition, the combination of Recondo's robust cloud-based solution and Sutherland's comprehensive suite of billing services represents a distinctive, best in class revenue management offering that Sutherland will be selling to the provider segment market," said Sutherland Healthcare Solutions Chief Executive Officer Thomas Laur.  

Sutherland was ranked as a high performer by leading analyst firm HfS Research in its September 2015 report, Blueprint for Healthcare Payer Operations.  Recondo secured two notable industry analyst rankings in the last three months: The company's EmpoweredPatientAccess™ suite was highlighted for achieving the greatest year-over-year score improvement in the "KLAS 2015 Midterm Performance Review: Software & Services Report"; and Recondo's EligibilityPlus™ data service scored the top Black Book ranking in the Insurance and Payer Eligibility category (two other Recondo solutions made the Top 10 in other Black Book categories for hospital revenue cycle).
