Project Description
As healthcare costs skyrocket for both providers and payers, how can both parties leverage technological efficiencies to better control expenditures?
In partnership with Omaha Systems and HiSpirit LLC, Digital Solutions was asked to develop a web-based application that acted as a caregiver management, data collection and healthcare reporting tool designed to provide the right care and supporting data as needed to improve quality and efficiency of care, prove effectiveness of care, and ultimately reduce healthcare costs to drive savings for providers and payers.
Defining requirements and discovering new functionalities
Digital Solutions took the time to deep dive into requirements for this emerging technology. As this would be the first application of its kind, our team understood how meticulous we needed to be in the process of discovery. Through a thorough discovery process, the HealtheFirst solution became a dynamic, PC and mobile device-enabled cloud-based platform, that use Artificial Intelligence, Proactive Interactivity and advanced communications methods to engage patients in positive medical, health and lifestyle decisions. This comprehensive solution was dreamed up to drive the result of a healthier life with lower cost for the patient and the healthcare provider – a solution that would not have been otherwise unearthed without Digital Solutions’ thorough discovery processes.
Solution: HealthEFirst – Comprehensive Documenting of Patient Care
Digital Solutions created HealtheFirst, an innovative patient-facing solution that integrates standards-based data collection and analysis, with a robust technology platform, providing the tools that care management professionals need. It’s the right solution for cost-effective patient care and medical cost management. Digital Solutions custom developed these features as part of the overall application functionality:
- Timely monitoring of patients’ needs
