2022 Best In KLAS Technical Services

In 2022, KLAS interviewed 27 HIT services firms with broad market experience, asking them about their best practices for driving successful client engagements. Drawing from those insights and correlating them with the KLAS performance data of high-performing firms, this study—part of KLAS’ Vendor Excellence series—looks at four critical areas firms should evaluate to ensure successful engagements: measurement of outcomes, sales and contracting, internal hiring and training, and engagement execution.

Security & Privacy Consulting Services 2022

25 August 22 | Ciera Walker and Kaleb Harris

Cybersecurity attacks are on the rise, and healthcare organizations are especially at risk. Security vulnerabilities can lead to financial penalties imposed by OCR, damaged organization reputations, and the increased risk of patient safety and data being compromised. To reduce vulnerabilities, organizations often bring in outside consulting firms that specialize in enhancing security and data privacy measures in healthcare. This report examines several such firms (and one cross-industry firm) to determine who effectively assists in reducing risk, engages closely with clients, and exceeds expectations.

Provider organizations require a broad range of technical skills to help them manage mergers and acquisitions and the acceleration of healthcare’s digital transformation. To help already strained IT departments, many provider organizations turn to services firms for project-based implementation services and infrastructure and application management. This report evaluates the experience of healthcare organizations that have used technical services offered by Neudesic, an IBM company.
