Shrinking margins and the need to achieve EMR Meaningful Use milestones are requiring that IT projects demonstrate reduced costs while facilitating attestation. To shift to an agile IT infrastructure that meets “always on, access anywhere” requirements at lower cost, providers are no longer asking whether to deploy virtualization, cloud computing, and ITaaS models, but how.

Now that hospitals have undergone EHR implementations, they are ready to consider and fund Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), RFID-over Wi-Fi™, projects that deliver hospital-wide tracking with business intelligence helping with scheduling, patient care, supply chain process and costs, and much more. Location-based business intelligence software gives hospitals an analytical tool to improve workflows, create better staff safety, optimize and reduce equipment rentals and increase patient satisfaction. RTLS using business intelligence software can reduce OPEX and CAPEX while increasing revenues and productivity.

As healthcare reform continues its fast and uncertain path, healthcare organizations know no matter what, information is going to be key in providing insights into their business. It can help to identify trends in services and costs so changes can be made.

Every HIM initiative - especially clinical documentation - relies on a single common thread for success: the availability and integrity of the right data to drive the correct decisions and follow-on actions. Capturing accurate, complete quality clinical documentation is the most critical and fundamental component in providing quality care, and ultimately has the biggest connection to generating revenue. This white paper describes the risks associated with the lack of a core HIT strategy; identifies HIT strategies that can help manage the complex clinical documentation challenges associated with ICD-10, RAC and ACOs; and provides an overview of existing and emerging technologies that have significant impact on addressing these challenges.

ERP software provides single-point visibility into each system (for example billing, medical records, staff scheduling) from one centralized location or database. A 2010 KLAS study reveals that many CIOs are unsatisfied with the current offerings of industry leading ERP solutions.
