The healthcare industry continues to experience seismic change, and as the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, health systems must have the capability and flexibility to quickly pivot and address unforeseen challenges. Each day, healthcare organizations face ongoing changes to operations, governance, risk management, and compliance that impact the management of their digital front door, provider data, hospital workforce, patient safety, contracting, spending, and more.
Healthcare is constantly evolving, and the way that health systems work and operate must as well. Historically, healthcare operational functions have been addressed in silos with different people and point solutions managing staff, data, contracts, compliance, quality, and myriad other mission-critical components. In fact, the average health system uses approximately 300 different IT vendors. Such oversight creates more work, more challenges, and more potential roadblocks to successful operations.
Point solutions are often disparate, time consuming, and expensive to manage. Each legacy platform has multiple data sets located across different assets, clouding organizations’ data visibility and posing more security risks than necessary. Without a way to integrate the disparate systems, health systems must manage hundreds of different vendor relationships to maintain operations and often face difficulties sharing data within their own organization.
Part of the incredible change occurring in healthcare operations today is unprecedented integration across enterprise-wide departments and functions. symplr is helping their customers transition to the new order because healthcare reform will require nothing less than 100% collaboration, transparency, and data sharing across enterprises.
