Project Online Empowers Businesses to Address these Top
Challenges Faced by the Healthcare Industry

Standardization and Rationalization of Business Processes and Technology

Acquisition and divestiture activities have left many healthcare organizations with inconsistent processes and application portfolios which are redundant and unoptimized. These inefficiencies can result in substantial cost penalties, low service levels and poor customer service. Technology and business process rationalization efforts are essential elements of healthcare companies’ efforts to improve operational effectiveness, customer service and cost reduction.

Healthcare Electronic Health Records Implementation, Replacement or Standardization

Implementation of electronic health records (EHR) solutions is necessary for hospitals, doctors, nurses and patients to manage critical health history information in a secure environment. Implementing these solutions requires a strong emphasis on project management excellence to ensure on time delivery while adhering to regulatory requirements. In addition to EHR solutions, recent trends have been to consolidate, replace, or standardize systems (ICD-10, HL7) within organizations which have grown through mergers and/or acquisitions.

Healthcare Security and Confidentiality

Robust security is necessary to achieve regulatory and legal requirements (e.g. HIPPA, FDA). Building security into all projects is a critical task of project management and the healthcare regulatory groups supporting 21 CFR sections. In addition, security audits are essential to ensure that FDA regulatory compliance is maintained. Program projects validating compliance are necessary to ensure all steps are achieved.

Merger & Acquisition, New Business Standup Activities

Healthcare industry is consistently involved in M&A and divestiture activities. M&As are managed by playbooks defining the steps associated with due diligence, 100-day plans, end state integration, benefits realization and divestiture. Consistent playbook execution, with repeatable steps, is essential to ensure key steps are not missed when managing acquisitions or divestitures. Tools for managing and securely storing M&A documents should be a required part of the solution.  

Digital Patient Engagement

Patients are demanding a more inclusive, interactive and personalized patient experience when interacting with healthcare institutions. Patients expect to be able to access diagnostic, historical and interact with their health care providers using a multitude of medium. They expectation is that healthcare data and provisioning will be pushed to them.

Analytics and Big Data Management

A challenge many companies face is that “they have a lot of data but not a lot of knowledge”. Data is often stored in multiple systems which leads to incomplete analysis resulting in an unreliable source for actionable insight. Analytics and big data solutions provide tremendous opportunities for combining patient, third party and other entities’ data into a single source of truth system which permits knowledge driving insights that can help healthcare providers optimize or grow their businesses.
