Recent years have seen tremendous growth for health care Information Technology (IT), and hospitals have started investing in technology to achieve operational efficiencies. Numerous hospital information systems and department level systems supporting pharmacies, radiology and laboratory departments, emergency departments, and operating room services have been implemented in the last decade. The next wave of technology implementation is electronic medical records (EMR). Almost every hospital in the nation is currently involved in some phase of an EMR implementation. Those health care organizations who plan accordingly and adopt the right system today will emerge as the information leaders tomorrow.
Finding a way to quantify a hospital's investment in technology has been a challenge, and with the relentless demands of the numerous stakeholders pressuring hospitals today, it is increasingly difficult for hospital administrators to justify the purchase of complex information systems. Nexera's IT team works with hospital leadership to identify the right solution to your short- and long-term technology needs and organization's goals.
Nexera's IT team will help your health care organization turn its systems and information into trusted tools for driving efficiency and maximizing resources.
Nexera's IT services include:
- Assessment of Current IT Systems
Nexera will work with hospitals in evaluating the current processes and systems within the hospital and make recommendations related to potential improvements and upgrades to hospital systems. Nexera will also assess a hospital's current strategic plan and provide recommendations related to gaps in current systems and upcoming technology systems like enterprise EMR systems.
- System Selection and Proposal Reviews
Nexera will evaluate proposals and help hospital administrators make an informed decision about system selection. We will also recommend the optimum solution for hospitals. Nexera has had success in assisting hospitals with proposal review and negotiation.
- Data Cleansing and Conditioning Services
In the past, a materials management information system (MMIS) was judged by how effectively it helped your institution purchase and distribute supplies. Information and technology enable the modern supply chain to function more efficiently than ever before. Today, MMIS must provide a hospital with the information it needs to keep up with billing, negotiate fair contracts, and make smart, informed purchasing choices. Nexera will help the hospital in cleansing the item master file and vendor master file so that valuable transaction information, such as item number, item description, and packaging are available to the buyers.
- IT Project Management Services
Completing a technology project on time and within budget can be a daunting task for today's overextended hospital staff. Nexera's experienced project management team will help the hospital manage its resources, people, and time lines by taking charge of motivating staff, enforcing time lines, and defining expectations. Our team will help the hospital achieve its goals, whether by facilitating a large, complex project or managing a smaller, time-sensitive one.
