Health Information Technology

Whether public or private in nature, business is an environment increasingly burdened by demand for constituent services that are ubiquitously available, ensure data integrity and information security, and mirror the transaction speeds citizens have come to expect in our net-centric world. Often, a change in organizational culture and realignment of business processes are needed to achieve those critical objectives as much, if not more, as the introduction of enabling technologies may be.

HIT Integration

Successful health information technology (health IT) integration depends upon executive support, active stakeholder engagement, and willing user acceptance and adoption. When that happens, the overall investments are in line with practical, consensus-driven expectations and directed toward quantifiable return. IWA staff has consistently proven itself to be a collaborative partner in assisting clients to hone in on their business priorities and objectives and effectively align them with IT reality. Our consultative support spans the business solution delivery life cycle, ranging from disciplined requirements definition to a determination of solution alternatives and the rationalization of development and implementation activities. We consistently utilize Project Management Institute (PMI) standards, as well as other best practices frameworks, such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) among others, to ensure that relationships between need, development, maintenance, and support harmoniously result in the anticipated solution and deliver measurable outcomes.
