Healthcare:Hospitals and IDN’s
- The push and pressure to demonstrate 'meaningful use' by 2015 is officially on. However, healthcare reform is only one amongst many key drivers transforming hospitals from both a clinical and financial perspective. The confluence of prevailing strategy, available technology, fierce competition and government regulation have combined for what represents a watershed moment for the industry.
- Successfully implementing enterprise wide EMR solutions brings great promise in terms of the future efficiency and quality of delivering healthcare. It also represents new territory for the majority of healthcare providers. These massive initiatives require a much more comprehensive strategy and approach in terms of planning, use of partners, process improvement and resource allocation and management. From updating and consolidating infrastructure, to process mapping, and change navigation, to the technical implementation and integration of the various hardware and software components, these initiatives require the use of partners that bring to bear the both the technical and clinical skills and experiences.
- For more than a decade the Stowe Group has been working with a number of the country's largest hospitals and IDN's successfully planning, implementing and integrating HIT solutions. We've also worked in close partnership with 8 of the Top 10 healthcare technology (HIT/EMR) providers extending their reach, increasing the depth and breadth of their capabilities, in order to accelerate implementation and improve customer adoption.
- Our specialists combine real-world experience, business, financial and clinical knowledge with training and certification on the latest EMR technologies in order to help our clients deliver on the promise that EMR solutions represent
