How partner Probis uses EMASPHERE to help the healthcare sector manage better with data.

What started in the 1990s as a consultancy in the elderly care sector is now a true niche leader advising on organizational development in healthcare and social care on the one hand, and for local public authorities on the other, at strategic level, HR level and in healthcare funding. "This is more relevant than ever", says Patrick Laisnez, manager of Probis Zorg en Welzijn.

Probis Group has grown significantly in recent years, which also brought the public sector into view. But its goals have always stayed the same: keep thinking along with clients and growing alongside them. That means following the market and its trends so clients can keep up too.

We are seeing a major shift in the healthcare sector, especially when it comes to financial management: "With this focus, we have found in recent years that the management of care organizations, and of the public sector too, is becoming much more business-oriented. Legislation in the sector keeps evolving and becoming more complex. Funding for all these systems is under heavy pressure because financial resources are shrinking and clients demand better service.", says Patrick.

Digitalization in the healthcare sector

Digitalization in the healthcare sector took off at the end of the 1990s. It started with digitizing invoices and care records. Then came residents' care files, accounting files, personnel files... The challenge for the sector is to actively put all this data to work, but there was no such thing as an integrated system to collect and visualize this data, extract business insights and KPIs from it, and use them at management level.

 

The Probis Partnerplan story began in 2008, when Probis discovered that care organizations needed advice on sound funding. Probis brought a new concept to market: the combination of high-performance software with tailored professional support. From that moment on, the company knew this service would be the future for specific organizations: the combination of tools and experts who give advice.

Optimization in the healthcare sector

All these separate systems do not provide an overview, though, Patrick explains. Probis Group received more and more requests for good reporting tools: dashboards that can bring the available data together to provide insights and support policy. With attention focused not only on financial performance, but also on operational KPIs.

"Now we work with EMASPHERE, and this tool brings everything together to deliver clear insights."

A win-win partnership

Many finance professionals know too little about the healthcare sector. It is a sector of its own, in which Probis acts as an expert to deliver high-quality management for nursing homes, hospitals, care centers... "We are a service provider whose clients see us above all as a partner."

"Insightful dashboards, operational KPIs... We searched the market, and the tool we found at EMASPHERE was a real 'wow' for us. On top of that, EMASPHERE and Probis share the same synergy, the same way of working, the same values and philosophy. Our strengths are complementary."

Looking ahead, it is important for Probis Group and EMASPHERE to keep expanding this partnership under the motto: "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." This way, Probis can support organizations in the most professional and high-quality way possible.
 
"We strongly believe in partners who share the same values and vision. Probis fits that picture perfectly: we both share our expertise to support clients as well as possible. That is real value creation."

EMASPHERE enters into various partnerships to share expertise and develop common interests. Partnerships like this one are essential to EMASPHERE's mission: bringing innovation together, sharing knowledge and building relationships, concludes Hugues, CEO of EMASPHERE.
