Healthcare
By 2017, healthcare spend is forecasted to be 20% of U.S. GDP. With so many dollars at stake, there are tremendous opportunities to deliver innovative product and service offerings throughout the healthcare value chain - from provider to payer to consumer. Here are three areas where Enablus can assist healthcare product teams:
Informatics and business intelligence
Healthcare informatics and business intelligence (BI) are driving many product innovations, such as EMRs, patient self-diagnostic websites, and payer-based fraud detection tools.
How we can help
At the core of any informatics or BI initiative are key aspects such as data modeling, data hygiene, data access, data visualization, and form-factor usability. Our UX Designers and Technologists can assist your product team to conceptualize new approaches to these aspects and serve as your partner during the product build and implementation.
Reduce time to market
Agile development, Scrum and eXtreme Programming (XP) have gone from being fringe methodologies into mainstream approaches for software development. As healthcare companies seek to reduce the product development life-cycle, they are exploring how to apply Scrum to the stage-gating process of the PDLC.
How we can help
Enablus has instilled the Scrum methodology as the philosophy for how we organize our client work, regardless of whether it is app dev, UX, or business modeling. Our focus is to continuously deliver value-added work products at the end of each two-week iteration, based on the latest market dynamics. Through our collaboration, clients begin to adopt the Scrum mindset, even amongst their non-technical team members. The end result is a Product Development team (not just the software engineers) that is attuned to the philosophy of delivering value-added output every two weeks.
Scaling implementation capabilities
Healthcare software and appliance companies are often attracted to the margins generated from professional services. In a company’s early stages, these revenues fuel R&D and growth. As a company matures, the challenge is how to successfully manage a product company and a professional services group. You don’t want to confuse the market or your investors with an over-reliance on services revenue. In later stages of corporate growth, the challenge is to find enough talent that can implement your solutions, especially as new offerings are launched into the market.
How we can help
Our Technologists and Business Consultants can create implementation teams that go on-site at the client to deliver your company’s solutions. We will work with your product and subject matter experts to understand the nuances of your solution’s value proposition and customize our Enablus Implementation Methodology accordingly. We will provide all the necessary program management expertise to ensure a successful implementation for your client.
