Information Technology

Are you maximizing your return on your current IT investment?

At Simione™ Healthcare Consultants, LLC we recognize that to provide maximum benefit your Information Technology System must align with your core business objectives to:

• Increase operating efficiencies
• Support your service mission
• Achieve targeted growth
• Gain a competitive advantage

To reach these goals you need to:

• Find the best software and vendor match
• Refine and improve your processes
• Plan and control your implementation
• Periodically review your utilization of the system

Do you really need new software?

At Simione™ Healthcare Consultants, LLC we believe software is underutilized more than 75% of the time. We can help you assess if you are optimizing the use of your current system before you subject your organization to the trials of a software search and new system implementation.

How do you know what you need from your information system?

Because our focus is entirely on home health and hospice we understand your information needs. We recognize the cost in dollars and in human resources of using a product and vendor that are not aligned with your specific requirements.

Our team of IT and home care clinical and financial experts will help you identify your IT needs. As a client of Simione™ Healthcare Consultants you have access to all of the resources of the leading home care and hospice consulting firm.

We will guide you objectively throughout the selection process to:

• Identify your requirements
• Identify available solutions
• Prepare your request for proposal
• Evaluate proposal responses
• Structure vendor and product evaluations

Do you know what is required for implementation success?

The impact of your implementation will be felt well beyond your go- live date. The team at Simione™ Healthcare Consultants knows:

• Critical success factors for a new system implementation
• How the existing IS systems function
• How the vendors approach and support implementations
• Processes that yield the greatest operating efficiencies

We provide the services and guidance you need from implementation planning to post go-live. Throughout the project we serve as your liaison to the vendor and help you to:

• Establish realistic expectations
• Develop your implementation plan and timeline
• Map your current work processes and evaluate their suitability with the new system
