Representing more than half of all rural hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) must navigate challenging operational and financial environments. Doing more with less is vital to CAH success.

Wallowa County Health Care District has been serving the residents of Wallowa County since 1950 through its expansive offerings at Wallowa Memorial Hospital, four Wallowa Memorial medical clinics, and Wallowa Valley Senior Living.

When their legacy system was unable to keep up with their changing needs, Wallowa County came to Eide Bailly to implement NetSuite.

The Challenge

Facing a talent shortage and mounting cost pressures, Wallowa Memorial needed to maximize efficiency with a scalable system.

        The Solution

        A cloud ERP system for Critical Access Hospitals built to scale and drive efficiency.

        A longtime audit client of Eide Bailly, Wallowa Memorial turned to us when it was time to find a new business management system. Our team worked with Wallowa Memorial to assess their needs and determined NetSuite’s cloud ERP to be the best fit. We implemented a tailored, easy-to-use NetSuite solution, built to scale so it can support Wallowa Memorial’s continued growth.


        This includes:


        • SuiteSuccess Social Impact Standard Cloud Service
        • Inventory Management Mid-Market Advanced Inventory

        "The flexibility and customization capabilities of NetSuite is perfect for Critical Access Hospitals, because we all operate differently. I’m very appreciative of the Eide Bailly team for building this solution for us.”"

        -Matthew Perren, Controller | Wallowa Memorial Hospital

        The Results

        Since implementing NetSuite, Wallowa Memorial has seen efficiency gains, time savings, increased visibility, and seamless closings.

        Everyone in the organization has been able to do business in a better way. “Eide Bailly built our system in a way that allows us to expand into areas we weren’t able to before,” explains Controller Matthew Perren. “There’s been time savings across the board for every user, but now we have the ability to expand into these different areas of requisitions and AP automations. The value has been immense.”


        Moreover, because we understand the needs of healthcare organizations when it comes to talent management, when Wallowa needed a new HCM solution, we were able to immediately introduce them to solutions that we knew would meet their requirements. This saved them the time and resources that go into researching and vetting various software options.
