System Selection

Today’s healthcare environment is one of integration and interoperability. Systems must communicate and integrate with a wide variety of internal and external systems including: internal departments, outpatient clinics, peer organizations, labs and other facilities, registries, payers, CMS, Health Information Exchanges, other clinical technology systems and more. Further, in order to take advantage of funding programs available, many technologies, in particular Electronic Health Records, must be certified. The certification criteria continues to evolve. Further, how you must use the software under Meaningful Use continues to evolve as well. In short the requirements are not static. This is a risk that must be managed in terms of your own requirements as well as the requirements of your vendors.

Ideal Health IT has extensive consultant experience to help you through this complex environment.  We can help you create the requirements, facilitate the selection process and support you in the negotiations to assure you get the right technology at the right price and under the right terms.  Even the best technology vendors are protecting themselves in the selection and negotiation process.  Ideal Health IT will help you protect your clinical, operational and financial interests throughout the term of your agreement with the vendor. Key elements of our offering include:

  • Requirements development
  • Solicitation management
  • Negotiation services
  • Project oversight  and executive guidance
