Here’s a question: Do you see IT as a handy support system or a vehicle driving measurable innovation? 

It goes without saying that the healthcare industry is moving toward automation. Estimates show healthcare spends around $300 billion yearly on software and system implementations. Clearly, SOMEBODY is spending money to upgrade their systems. 

But as a healthcare leader, do you approach this need like an annoying but necessary expense? Or, can you recognize digital transformation as an investment in future growth, a vehicle to improve operations measurably, or a solution for better financial, clinical, and patient experience outcomes?

Part of the struggle may be a lack of vision due to siloed processes or memories of past failures. 

The Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association published a report stating that despite an accumulation of best practices research identifying success factors, IT implementation projects are often unsuccessful. 

Their research found that “across industry sectors, at least 40 percent of IT projects either are abandoned or fail to meet business requirements, while fewer than 40 percent of large systems purchased from vendors meet their goals.” Other sources report a failure rate as high as 70 percent, with more than half overshooting budgets and timetables and still not delivering what was promised. 

It’s not just about the software. Instead, it’s about partnering with experts equally committed to your success by helping you customize solutions and develop a system that supports sustainable operations that can simplify operations to ensure your organization is prepared to navigate this dynamic industry.

Innovation is an investment in future growth.

Innovation works best when treated as an investment and is essential for administrators to help expand future services. How else can organizations like yours follow healthcare trends and compliance guidelines while improving service delivery amid the constantly changing needs of patients and the healthcare system? It’s an agile industry where static, manual processes simply won’t keep up with the pace. 

Taking a proactive approach to innovation helps healthcare organizations be more competitive, efficient, cost-effective, and better equipped to seamlessly navigate a changing industry. 

 

A modern system makes operations function better

What are the challenges clinics and offices currently face? How will digital, AI-supported innovations impact employee roles? The advantage of working with a dedicated team is that you don’t have to guess or hope this investment will support your unique needs. 

An experienced team can ensure your system has the features that support your goals. Simplus understands the collective challenges companies within the healthcare industry face, but we also recognize that each company approaches solutions differently. 

 

Make way for better clinical, operational, and financial outcomes

Are you expanding telehealth capabilities to serve patients better? Would your rural clinics benefit from using a centralized EHR platform to manage patient data? 

Treating IT as an asset in healthcare services can lead to superior clinical, operational, and financial outcomes that are impossible with manual processes. 

Clinically, IT systems enhance patient care through electronic health records (EHRs) that provide accurate, up-to-date information accessible to all healthcare providers, thus improving diagnosis, treatment plans, and patient outcomes. Advanced technologies such as telemedicine and remote monitoring ensure continuous patient care and timely interventions. 

Operationally, IT streamlines workflows by automating administrative tasks, managing appointments, optimizing resource allocation, increasing efficiency, and reducing wait times. 

Financially, IT enables better revenue cycle management, minimizes billing errors, and enhances financial planning through robust data analytics, helping healthcare providers identify cost-saving opportunities and maximize reimbursements. 

By integrating IT into every aspect of healthcare, providers can deliver high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective care, ultimately benefiting patients and the healthcare system.
