“Jacobus exceeded our expectations and I would work with them again. Our successful implementation of PCS nursing documentation was a result of their commitment and dedication to the multidisciplinary teams that were developed to review current workflow, design a better system, and implement the work product successfully. With the help of Jacobus we have transformed ourselves so successfully that the nurses today say they can’t imagine going back to a paper system.”
Judy Maas, Chief Nursing Officer – Valley Presbyterian Hospital
“Through the years I have worked with Jacobus at 3 hospitals to address some difficult challenges and to improve revenue cycle operations. Their approach breaks down silos and helps create long lasting improvement, and in the process drive significant increased revenue and cash collections. I am always impressed with the quality of the Jacobus team members; they are highly motivated, skilled and have a way of making the staff feel safe and valued."
Melanie Van Winkle, Chief Financial Officer - Mammoth Hospital
“Our experience with Jacobus is excellent - I would say one of the best vendors that I have worked with. The individuals are very professional, very experienced, and knowledgeable of Meditech. They far exceeded our expectations and that is why they continue to assist us to meeting our goals.”
Cindy Peterson, Chief Information Office – Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital
“Jacobus actively listened to our ideas and suggestions as well as provided direction. They foster a collaborative working relationship that helped us grow and learn how to apply the knowledge and expertise we gained for other projects in our organization.”
Mary Lou Schmulbach, RN, MSN, NE-BC, Clinical Care Director, Memorial Hospital
“We were in the middle of implementing MEDITECH and were struggling with the implementation. The Jacobus team immediately assessed where we were and what was needed to meet our go-live date. The consultants were MEDITECH experts and provided insight on best practices in both the clinical and financial modules. They also developed excellent training manuals and user help guides that were successful for rolling out training to over 1000 staff and management. We were able to go-live as planned and did not lose anything in the process. We are very thankful for the expertise and guidance.”
Jim Welter, CFO and VP Finance, Provena Health Systems
"Jacobus was instrumental in inspiring our administrative and clinical managers to embrace the concepts and put into practice the tenets of better revenue cycle management. With Jacobus problem solving and coaching skills, we saw favorable gains to our financial position and movement towards meeting our strategic goals."
David Keith, Chief Operating Officer - Kern Medical Center
“We had implemented the MEDITECH Budget and Forecasting module as part of our HCIS go-live but were very unhappy with the functionality, and we were ready to scrap it and begin the search for a new solution. The Jacobus consultants were able to work with us to understand our needs and custom design the application. The results were outstanding and we have a fully functional budget and forecast system that we use every day. We also have a Book of Knowledge of how everything was built as a permanent record and to use for training.”
Bob Allen, CFO - Valley Presbyterian Hospital
"After 18 years on our system it was important that we brought Sandra and her Jacobus team to do an assessment. The methodologies that the team used were great and helped us to move quickly, and the systems and hospital operations expertise within the team were excellent. Their methodologies to teach our teams their knowledge and skill sets really made the difference for the changes to stick."
Gayle Yeakle, past CIO - Rady Children’s Hospital
"During our migration from MAGIC and LSS to 6.0, Jacobus provided Project Management and MEDITECH 6.0 and LSS Subject Matter Expertise – including best practice for system and process redesign. Jacobus was very responsive to our needs and their consultants treated us like family. We view them more like employees of the hospital than consultants."
