Background
Today’s healthcare provider is faced with the challenge of providing higher quality care while trying to contain rising costs and shrinking reimbursements.  Some of the factors facing the healthcare industry are shortages in staff, heightened demand for fast, accurate diagnosis and treatment, increased patient load, reduced capital and operational budgets, and stringent compliance requirements. 

In an effort to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve patient outcomes, healthcare providers have made substantial investments in technology.  Investments have included clinical information systems, electronic medical records, computerized physician order entry systems, picture archiving systems, and other systems designed to improve data collection and decision support.  While these systems have had an impact in automating manual processes, the full potential of these solutions have often not been realized.

Since 1996, Internetwork Engineering (IE) has been providing innovative technology solutions to help healthcare organizations become more competitive.  IE has developed solutions that provide secure, real-time access to patient information for care providers at multiple points along the path of care, which help improve efficiency, reduce medical errors, and enhance patient care.

Challenges
Adding new IT capabilities in a healthcare setting presents a number of challenges.  When network and systems downtime can literally mean the difference between life and death, it is imperative that the utmost care and planning be given to all aspects of any project.  Factors affecting technology projects in the healthcare arena include clinical requirements, the challenge of integrating applications and networks, and user adoption.  Additionally, providers must also be concerned with security and privacy issues as mandated by the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other federal and state regulations.

IE employs consultants that exhibit the desirable combination of both talent and experience.  This commitment to top talent, in combination with refined processes, substantially reduces the risks of technology deployment.  And, IE’s commitment to client success ensures no job is complete until client expectations have been exceeded.
