Calculate the ROI of migrating to Galeon EHR

The return on investment of migrating to Galeon is measured across four main areas. UHCD emergency billing and day hospital structuring generate T2A revenue that was previously uncaptured. AI-powered PMSI coding detects missing billable procedures, the CHRU de Tours measured an average gain of €1,470 per recoded stay. Finally, switching to SaaS eliminates on-premise infrastructure: on average, 70% of a hospital's VMs are allocated to the EHR, at €1,700/VM/year. Combined, these levers can generate over €2M in annual gains for an 800-bed hospital. European benchmarks (Care Insight) confirm a gain of 3 to 8% additional T2A revenue within 18 months of deployment. Our estimate, based on French hospital data, sits at the lower end of this range, making it a conservative projection.

An on-premise EHR carries a permanent and growing infrastructure cost: server renewal every five years, Oracle and Vidal licences, 24/7 IT on-call, HDS and ISO 27001 certifications to maintain, and technical rooms to operate. Moving to SaaS eliminates all of these items. Galeon handles HDS hosting, security, updates, and regulatory compliance — with no additional annual cost to the facility.

Two French university hospitals (EMOIS 2022) demonstrated that shifting from clinician to DIM coding increased the Average Treated Case Value by +13 to +22% depending on the department. European benchmarks (Care Insight) estimate the revenue gap at 3–8% of annual T2A income.

The Unité d'Hospitalisation de Courte Durée (UHCD) allows emergency stays lasting several hours to be billed as inpatient admissions, at a significantly higher rate than a standard consultation. This billing is only triggered if the patient record is correctly structured at the point of care. Without an intelligent EHR, a large proportion of these stays go uncoded as UHCD — representing hundreds of thousands of euros in lost revenue annually depending on facility size.

On average, 70% of the hospital's virtual machines are allocated to the EHR, at an average cost of €1,700/VM/year - covering HDS hosting, electricity, Wallix security, backups, and 24/7 support. For a 1,000-bed hospital, this typically represents between €400,000 and €600,000 in annual infrastructure costs directly tied to the EHR.

Galeon is deployed progressively, department by department. The first units can go live within a few months. A full deployment across an 1000-bed facility typically spans 9 to 12 months depending on the complexity of the existing IT environment. The SaaS model ensures automatic updates with no intervention required from the hospital's IT team.
