Technology is now becoming one of the critical success factors and driving force of healthcare providers in today's digital economy. Every facility, regardless of its size, benefits a lot from a outsourcing its technology setup and maintanence. It is vital to define how your business will make comprehensive use of technology to derive the full benefits in a cost effective way.

It is a known fact that Information Technology will improve efficiency, accuracy and effectiveness of our healthcare system. But adoption has been slow becasue of the associated costs and continuous learning curve.

How expensive to implement Information Technology?

1. EMR packages currently available in the market start from $10,000 at the lower end.
2. Annual support and maintanance would cost additional $3000 per year.
3. Cost of hiring skilled manpower to manage and operate EMR.
4. Requires purchase of high end servers for hosting EMR.
5. Installation of hardware/software firewalls to secure servers and local area network.
6. Set up of VPN tunnels with business associates for secure access.
7. Hiring cost of IT personnel for server management, firewall management and technical support.
8. Climate controlled room for hosting servers: cost of office space, power bills, etc.

It is true that implementing the electronic medical record is not only expensive but also indicative of a faster paced information age in which larger quantities of information require more effective database insfrastructure.

But there are several benefits to both the medical service provider and the patient. VISION INFOTECH offers packaged solutions to all its customers to reap the benefits of EMR and medical transcriptions at affordable rates.

And, what would be the Cost?

The actual cost depends on what services you would like to contract with us. This is followed by requirement gathering, technical needs and feasibility study. To give you a ball park idea of what the costs would be: let us say, if you were to set up these services yourself at your own facility at a cost of $30,000, our cost would be roughly $15,000. No kidding. Yes, just half of what you would otherwise spend. We can do this because of our low overheads and use of highly skilled experienced manpwoer from low cost economies to deliver IT services at your doorstep.

How we do it
We attempt to understand your business flow and general project situation to capture the requirement according to your original requirement. In addition, we:

• Analyze your existing IT infrastructure to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business goals. This covers gap analysis for re-engineering projects and definition of required management process for complete new systems to ensure that the process meets your entire spectrum of business goals with high efficiency and competitiveness both at present and in perspective.
  

• Transfer the business requirement to technical requirement and provide recommendations on technology platform, development tools, hardware platform, or system framework. The formal Software Requirement Specification is then formed if demanded for your confirmation according to your needs based on cost, system stability and after-sale support.
  

• Combine strategic plans and knowledge of current and emerging technologies to create system's logical design and System Design Specification, which includes the system's prototype and architecture.
  

• Manage the project progress through Microsoft Project or by setting up the Project website on the Internet, and make timely progress reports for project monitoring.
