More About:
At HIMformatics, we understand ambulatory
practice, and the opportunities and the challenges.
For one, Ambulatory EMRs are expensive! Beyond
the obvious acquisition costs, practices may incur
workflow redesign costs and even a short-term loss
in productivity before seeing any benefits.
Do you plan to host and support EMR solutions for
your community physicians? The risks are high –
a poor customer experience can destroy physician
relationships.
Are you prepared (and able) to offer the infrastructure,
customer service, sales and marketing required to
make this a long-term success?
What is the impact of Stark and other anti-kickback
laws? How do you create a pricing strategy to meet
everyone’s needs?
Before you consider extending EMR technology to
your providers, use the HIMSS ROI calculator (created
by HIMformatics) to estimate an overall return on
investment for your EMR investment:

The “front-end” is perhaps the most
opportunity-rich component of a hospital’s revenue
cycle. We assist our clients with innovative redesign
of scheduling and registration processes, which
result in increased patient satisfaction, increased
physician satisfaction, efficient operations, and
improved margins.
A typical project includes evaluating
and optimizing:
Patient Interactions
Physician Office Interactions
Patient Flow
Staff Utilization
Technology Optimization
Staff and Management Reporting
Our solutions are always a finely
tuned mix of effective process, enabling technology,
and patient-focused people.

“Information services” is not a core
competency for many health care organizations. Following
the lead of other information intensive industries,
HCOs are increasingly looking to leverage the expertise
and infrastructure of IT sourcing providers.
Our sourcing advisory team is led
by Pete Mounts, one of the most highly respected
IT Managed Services experts in healthcare.
Our team’s unique approach is extremely
cost-effective and calendar-friendly; we combine
a rigorous analysis with a minimum of wasted motion.
HIMformatics collaborates with our
customers to evaluate requirements and expectations,
including:
- Cultural readiness to embrace change
- Ability to embrace “better practices” and leverage
remote services
- Willingness to apply rational governance
- Clear definition of responsibilities and service
levels
- True costs and benefits over the term of the
agreement
We work with the leading sourcers in the industry,
and we appreciate each of their unique strengths,
as well as their “cultural peculiarities.” HIMformatics
can help to ensure excellent results.

Quality and price transparency, P4P,
and unending federal “mandates” are all confronting
hospitals. To meet these challenges, HCOs must leverage
a frequently underutilized and tangled organizational
asset: Data.
The frequent reality: Non-standard
data, siloed source systems, and primitive tools.
All are huge barriers to creating usable information.
HIMformatics’ data architects work
closely with our clients to gather, cleanse, and
organize data, and then implement the engines and
tools to provide “actionable interpretation” of
the data.
Through custom-tailored solutions,
our clients can:
- Improve clinical outcomes
- Improve quality, patient access, patient satisfaction,
utilization
- Evaluate expenses, revenues, and identify underperforming
services
- Analyze patient histories and risk profiles
- Interpret population-level trends and markers
- Meet statutory reporting requirements
HIMformatics has the technical skills,
health care operational experience and vendor knowledge
to quickly transform data into insight. Our development
team members are experts in information management
and access, regardless of vendor or technology platform.
Our development services include:
- Data modeling
- Data translation, integration, and normalization
- Data Warehouses
- Portals and Web-based Applications
- Custom Reporting Tools
