Craneware signs contract with Catholic Health East for 16 acute-care hospitals
24 June 2008 - Craneware plc, (AIM: CRW) a leader in revenue cycle management software solutions for the US healthcare market, has signed a contract with Catholic Health East, Newtown Square, Pa., for the delivery of Craneware's Chargemaster Toolkit® suite and the newly launched Pharmacy ChargeLink™ product.
Craneware's software and services will be rolled-out across the hospital system, replacing an incumbent provider, through Fiscal 2009. As per Craneware's revenue recognition policy, the majority of revenues derived from these contracts will be recognised in Craneware's fiscal years FY09, FY10, FY11, FY12 & FY13. They will therefore not have a material impact on the current financial year's revenues due to finish on 30 June 2008.
Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware plc, commented, "We are delighted to have been selected by Catholic Health East as their provider of revenue cycle management software, replacing one of our competitors. This is a great endorsement of the scalability and quality of our software and operations and a strong end to our first year as a public company."
