We provide a choice of user business models:
  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription fees with nothing more than a three-month rolling contract (gives us a chance to make sure you understand and use the full power of the system). Our solution is fully hosted, which means that we manage the data transformations, secure hosting, disaster recovery, user training, and support. Bottom line, we provide all of the resources necessary to deliver your organization a world-class BI solution.
  • Classic upfront software license fee and annul maintenance fees. Over a number of years, this will cost some organizations less money.
  • Or a hybrid approach that allows a user to subscribe through the SaaS model and then receive credit toward a full licensing fee for a significant portion of subscription fees paid. This gives you a chance to explore and benefit from using the system and protects against subscription fees that at some point of exceed outright licensing costs.

The choice is yours. No coercive pricing models.

 

We offer these models in order to make it easy to try and buy. We don’t market or advertise significantly so we can’t justify high purchase or subscription fees.

A complete healthcare data warehouse and powerful analytical/data mining workstation system
...SmartCare...
in a single system. The data warehouse has been specially-designed to embody critical data relationships to make it possible to interconnect many different kinds of healthcare information. It can import and merge all types of patient-specific:
 
  -  electronic medical record data

  -  outcomes data

  -  claims data

  -  membership data and analyze them separately and/or together so it can support payors, providers, and any other organizations needing healthcare analytics.

  
Aligned with Payor Needs
Medical management, P4P, network management, risk-contracting, predictive modeling/actuarial, disease management and case management.
 
Aligned with Clinical Integration Needs
The Long Island Health Network (LIHN), a 10-hospital consortium, shares clinical data among the hospitals over a VPN Internet network.
 
Aligned with EHR Data Mining Needs
"Because clinical data repositories have been specially designed to support individual patient transactions, they usually are not well suited for data mining. To overcome the difficulty of mining data from a clinical data repository, it is better to use a clinical data warehouse. A clinical data warehouse is a database that has been optimized for data analysis."
 
"Most EHRs are designed to support patient care transactions and may not be optimized for data reporting or data mining. Is your system primarily limited to supporting individual patient transactions? Is your system primarily limited to supporting individual patient transactions? No matter how complete the acquisition of EHR components, their primary function is to assist in managing the transactions involved in individual patients' care." (Healthcare Financial Management, Sept, 2005 by Margret Amatayakul )http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3257/is_9_59/ai_n15385034/pg_2/?tag=content;col1
 
 
Aligned with Pharmaceutical Company and Potential Candidate Recruitment for Clinical Trials
By combining electronic health records with data mining tools, pharmaceutical companies have the potential to quickly query the EMR database to determine the number of potential candidates for a specific study, and to assess the viability of candidates for a specific trial. They can also quickly screen large numbers of anonymous electronic records for potential trial candidates using any number of factors, including age, sex, co-morbidities and lab results. In this way, pharmaceutical companies could approach physician groups that they know treat significant numbers of patients matching a specific trial candidate profile.
 
This method could be particularly useful when recruiting for trials for drugs intended to treat rare conditions, since the trial sponsor from the pharmaceutical or biomedical company could efficiently search for specific criteria. The end result could be faster and more cost-effective, ultimately accelerating time-to-market.
 
Aligned with North Star Principles Of Successful Customer Outcomes:
- Solve my problem completely
- Don’t waste my time
- Provide exactly what I want
- Deliver value where I want it
- Deliver value when I want it
- Reduce the # of decisions I must make to solve my problem
 
Aligned with Lean Six Sigma's goals of elimination of waste and quality defects and variation.
The SmartCare system design assures rapid implementation, rapid training and rapid use by non-technical users, and warp speed reporting such that it maximally eliminates data analytics process waste and quality defects and variation.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Star Trek "Precision" Alignment
 
Captain Kirk: What would you say the odds are on our getting out of here?
Mr. Spock: It is difficult to be precise, Captain. I should say approximately 7824.7 to one.
Kirk: Difficult to be precise? 7824 to one?
Spock: 7824.7 to one.
Kirk: That's a pretty close approximation.
Spock: I endeavor to be accurate.
Kirk: You do quite well.

The 8-Second Solution
Assume you had not already developed a standard report to identify PCPs sending the most patients to the ER rather than seeing them in the office. Using a very large database, it takes 5 seconds to select “ER Visits” and “PCP” as fields to cross-tab. It takes 3 seconds to return the results. The 8-second solution.
