Implementations of clinical systems can take years and cost millions. S&P Consultants
provides expert guidance for those institutions implementing or expanding their
Cerner® applications. We will be your advocate to help protect your interest and
ensure that your strategic plan and vendor contract are in sync with the needs of your
clinical patient care needs.
In today’s healthcare information system market, vendors are in the practice of selling
“vanilla” systems that do not have all the “bells and whistles” that are needed by
today’s healthcare institutions. This limitation in contracting, results in endless add-ons
and additional cost to you. By identifying these limitations and defining the scope
of the projects prior to the contracting phase, institutions recognize the reduced cost to the
project, accuracy of resource planning, precise project timelines and an end product that
the clinical staff will be excited to use!
While S&P's focus is on implementing software applications, we understand the impact
that implementing software has on your other systems such as hardware, medical
devices, and peripherals. This is why it is critical to have an IT clinical systems 3 and 5
year plan, so your institution has the ability to stay competitive.
S&P understands your clinical IT strategy needs to be fiscally responsible,
resource sensitive, and patient care driven. Not only is your institution continually
in motion 24/7/365, but clinical, regulatory and operational requirements are
consistently changing. As a healthcare leader, you face a tremendous decision
creating processes to implement and integrate these systems to address the operational
and patient care needs within your institution.
Our goal is to provide you and your institution with the knowledge to “know what you
don’t know” and stop the “leap of Faith” that occurs in today’s contracting. S&P
completes a thorough review of current and future state to optimize technology and
incorporate the complex functionality required by your providers and care givers to
support them in delivering quality care to patients.
Let us be your safety net on your next project.
