Together We Can Make
A Difference...
When the risk
of failure is too great
When extraordinary results require extraordinary
solutions
When the time to market is now
Working together makes all the difference!
Every day, companies
are faced with the decision to “go it alone” or
work with an IT provider to bring new healthcare
programs and products to market.
American Healthways,
Gateway and Electronic Medical Management Services
(GEMMS) both faced the same question in recent
years and determined the risk of building their
own system from the ground up was too high (often
over 5 times more). They teamed up with MedInformatix
instead, using our software to enhance the effectiveness
of their own product lines, getting them out into
the marketplace quickly and effectively.
MedInformatix, a leading provider
of IT healthcare solutions, has a proven track
record with individual practitioners, groups,
healthcare plans and larger healthcare organizations.
We have spent tens of millions of dollars developing
and improving our software over the past 15 years
and have created a superb product and a pool of
expertise that is hard to duplicate.
This is a valuable tool for an organization
intent on bringing to market superior products.
A Powerful Set Of Tools
The uniqueness of our advanced software
solution is its “mix-n-match” flexibility. Although
the EMR and Practice Management System is fully
integrated, each module can also stand alone and,
together with the complex “decision making tree”
design intelligence, can be utilized by our associates
to enhance their own software suites to better
meet program objectives.
Companies also have the opportunity
to private-label our software, expanding their
own product range and enabling them to compete
more aggressively in the marketplace.
The Risk Of Failure Is Too
Great
The costs of not getting to market
quickly with superior products that provide a
competitive edge and outstanding service are too
great.
Risk considerations:
• Long Development Time of 5-10 years
o Risk of not making it to
market & being overtaken by more advanced
solutions
o Diversion of staff and
financial resources from the primary purpose of
the organization
o Inability to sustain
a sizeable long-term financial commitment
• Stretching Staff Resources
o Lack of internal
IT resources with specialized knowledge and skill
sets required.
o Diversion of IT staff
from internal systems resulting in lowering of
existing standards.
• High Development Costs
o Costs tend to be
4 - 6 times more than if an outside solution is
employed.
• Risk of Developer Bias
o Using in-house personnel
runs a high risk of “tunnel vision” preventing
truly innovative
and effective solutions being created.
• Opportunity Loss
o Not making it to
market results in loss of market position and
market share.
o Psychological repercussions
of being perceived as a “failure” or “behind the
times” can
be devastating to confidence in the organization.
o Loss of reputation with
customers, members and providers with far-reaching
consequences.
o Diversion of financial,
staff and management resources from other duties
results
in lowering of overall standards of performance
and quality of care.
