Taking back-end data and providing actionable data for Healthcare Operations

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Many business enabling technologies make ROI claims of 6 to 18 months. These claims are often hindered by deployment pre-requisites and data setups that take over a year, on average, to complete thus delaying any ROI for at least one and a half years. Virtuosant Technologies offers products that truly enable strategic decisions to take place so that executives and managers can drive their business. Regardless if you want to see high level pro-forma, daily healthcare KPIs, or make changes to staffing models for PACU or your emergency room, Virtuosant’s products will enable you to take data to decision to action within weeks.

Having data in multiple sources across multiple platforms is an all too common challenge for IT leaders and executives. Technology managers struggle to get data into the hands of executives in a timely basis with several sorts of data extracts, merging, ETL, and consolidation techniques. Executives often deal with reading data that is inaccurate, untimely, and is often based on events that have already happened. During this time, executives are scratching their heads wondering if they can ever get one view of the data based on present actions, one version of the truth, so they can make decisions to better manage their operations and profitability. Having on-demand reports that touch all data sources regardless of platform moves from a wish to a demand. Sharing this data via an easy to use high distributable medium is a must.

Virtuosant’s VFAST products provide a platform for integration products that drives down the cost of development, which is the most expensive cost contained in any integration project. Custom coding and development is frequently employed to tackle the wide variety of situations that an integration team encounters during the course of an integration project. As a result of these additional, custom needs, integration projects frequently start small, but grow more quickly than initially expected.

Integration teams face many critical issues during integration projects. Issues include determining how to access all the critical data stored in obscure systems needed to fuel a mission-critical decision process; how to bring together partners in the supply or demand chains that employ widely disparate systems and business processes; how to integrate technology – the applications living in the infrastructure – to the human business processes, and then quickly adapt when factors change inside and outside the organization; and how to comply with industry standards such as ACORD, HIPPA, EDI, HL7, SWIFT, etc.

Not surprisingly, these are the same challenges that result in higher development costs, when more and more highly-skilled developers are thrown at integration projects to handle connectivity
issues, refactoring custom code as situations change, and chasing down ever-changing standards requirements. Virtuosant has embedded this integration platform with its VFAST products. Companies will spend more time obtaining, reviewing and documenting business requirements than implementing our products.

Our VFAST products provides a robust integration platform that is data source and platform agnostic thus enabling managers and executives immediate access to custom reports and event snap shots of their healthcare operations.
