U.S. healthcare organizations (HCOs) are facing a rapidly changing and increasingly difficult environment. This environment is characterized by the need to:
- Reduce costs in the face of substantially reduced reimbursement levels;
- Measure and improve quality levels to meet patient and employer demands as well as governmental regulations; and
- Enhance service levels to both patients and physicians in light of heightened competition from other healthcare providers.
In contemplating the long-term effects of this environment, it is becoming clear that the future success of an HCO will be closely tied to its ability to:
- Understand and rework the basic business processes of the organization to achieve increased effectiveness and efficiencies; and
- Build these improved business processes around integrated information processing applications.
Huron Systems has positioned itself to directly assist HCOs in succeeding in this environment.
- Huron understands HCOs and their processes, as well as thoroughly understands I/T. This combination allows us to focus on I/T-based solutions to healthcare business problems.
- Huron's main software product--RulePro®--is a rules-based system designed specifically to integrate into and support "front-end" and "continued stay" healthcare business processes. These processes include patient financial services, patient access/admitting, and case/utilization management.
- Huron's thorough knowledge of 1) the healthcare environment; 2) emerging information technologies; and 3) contemporary planning approaches allows us to understand the I/T strategic and tactical planning requirements of our HCO clients--and to facilitate the development of pragmatic plans.
