title: Building a world-class A/P function: how UPMC went paperless.
abstract: UPMC engaged people, processes, and technology to move its A/P function from a highly manual, paper-based operation to a completely automated process. UPMC's CFO hired a chief supply chain officer to develop a strategic plan, and UPMC named a value analysis team to gain clinician buy-in. UPMC automated A/P by enabling receipt of electronic invoices. UPMC streamlined its processes for invoices.
