What We Do

Healthcare’s new value based reimbursement models and reporting mandates require accountability and transparency to succeed - driving the demand for “Big Data” from  healthcare operations. 

Modern EMR systems, part of disparate legacy IT infrastructures, challenge the production of meaningful, trustworthy and timely information.  Integrated alternatives must be employed to gain efficiency.

Working across your enterprise to identify key success measures and developing a custom gap analysis, we craft an efficient data strategy and the contextual analytics tools and applications; reducing redundancy and costs, refining operations. The result is what we call Semantic Interoperability.  Data transformed into contextual, relevant, timely information.

Our platform is not "R", Python, other open source or off-the shelf products. It's an award winning proprietary powerful data mining and analytics software tool that works with virtually any data file type from virtually any system.  It is a sophisticated data transformation and analytics tool that, after implementation, provides live views into your data sources. This comes through graphical displays and interactive, easy-to-use access to customizable details. Using your business rules, analytics are developed and applied through the combination of data, your subject matter expertise and defined business goals.  The result is automated interactive dashboards, reports, charts and alerts that are mobile friendly.  You will learn things you never knew about your business. 

Cloud based with certified security or on your systems behind your firewall, the economics are flexible and designed to work within each customers' financial models.

Strategic Development

Strategy is often confused with planning.   We strive to avoid that.

Your strategy is the framework or rules you will use to hit your targets. It’s not planning.  Planning is the tactical elements that fit within the framework of your strategy.

Understanding and navigating these nuances while incorporating the market research and internal subject matter expertise is what informs the planning, educates the team and produces success. 

The needs and goals of each vary greatly.  The key to success is asking the right questions and maintaining situational awareness to grasp and communicate the intricacies that serve to architect a sound plan and ensure success of the strategy.

We’ve worked on some interesting and diverse strategy development projects. Some include physician group joint ventures and practice buy/sell transactions; technology strategies for clinical service and procurement and change management as part of acquisitions or service line development and software as a service (“Saas”) product launch. Just to name a few.

Sometimes the branch must be trimmed to promote new growth...but not always!
