Overview

The healthcare industry is challenged to improve operational, clinical and financial performance because of data that is isolated between best of breed clinical, financial and other health systems. It is the information buried in the white space between these systems that contain the insights you need for innovation. Rolta helps our customers uncover the insights buried in their systems.

Rolta helps our customers focus on reducing their IT costs by simplifying their support infrastructure and IT complexity in the following areas:

  • Clinical System Hosting
  • Interoperability
  • Security and Identity Management

We help our customers focus on improving their performance by bringing together the key operational, financial and clinical indicators that improve patient care and the health of the organization.

A brief description of the Rolta's Healthcare Solutions is contained below. For further information please reference: Healthcare Views

Healthcare Enterprise Performance Management - Clinical excellence in delivering healthcare services is difficult enough. Today's hospital must have ready access to the information that is buried in their clinical and administrative systems in order to provide quality metrics and reporting to meet operational excellence, financial health and clinical performance expectations.

Healthcare organizations are realizing they must focus on management excellence as well. Leaders in organizations must be able to make quick and effective decisions; prioritizing and adapting plans based on changes occurring throughout the hospital. To address this challenge, healthcare organizations need solutions that provide a holistic and comprehensive view of performance that links inputs from all critical stakeholders and that provides a framework for measuring and communicating success.

Security and Identity Management - Protecting patient data while also enabling user access is a complex process. The more data sources an organization has, the more important it is to create a safe and effective mechanism for identifying each user, providing full access to authorized clinical data sources with only one authentication and managing the policies and record keeping requirements specified by legislation and best clinical practices. As healthcare organizations grow, these relationships become more complex and multiple identities emerge across the enterprise including relationships with those outside the healthcare organization. Each group generates greater need to manage identity and authorization and each group has its own unique security and privacy requirements.

Too often, the management of these identities takes place in hospital silos, leading to fragmented and inconsistent security information. Without a single view of the identity and authorization of each user, a hospital is at risk for data compromise.

Clinical System Hosting - Healthcare IT organizations are faced with high costs to maintain their existing environments and applications. Budgets are tight and hospital requirements are ever increasing. Balancing the IT spend to "keep the lights on" and provide new functionality puts tremendous pressure on healthcare IT organizations to cut costs where possible and to focus precious resources on value-added clinical and operational solutions. Ensuring high availability for your mission-critical clinical applications and websites is a significant challenge in today's resource-constrained healthcare environment. Each application a hospital introduces to the infrastructure requires multiple technology skills that extend beyond the application itself. To provide stable and secure operations, your staff must also be able to procure, install, tune, maintain, monitor and update the technology and server infrastructure as well as the operating system software. Achieving high availability requires continual investment in the server, storage, and network infrastructure supporting your mission-critical clinical applications and websites. With capital budgets tightening every day, money for new hardware is scarce at best. Healthcare is left at a crossroads. There is no question that you can't afford downtime, which impacts both clinical performance and reputation. Yet, building and managing a highly available environment is a costly and resource-intensive undertaking in its own right.

Interoperability Services - In order to achieve a wide-ranging view of performance, organizations must focus on interoperability, data extraction and integration. Healthcare interoperability requires the establishment of a standards-based platform where information is stored and retrieved as needed, and in different forms, as required. Interoperability is more than just data exchange of clinical information. Syntactic interoperability implies data structures are exchangeable. Semantic interoperability implies the exchange of meaning. Computable Semantic Interoperability implies the consistent and unambiguous exchange of meaning between two or more systems. True interoperability includes all of these components and can be difficult to achieve. Computer processing of information is limited only to the intelligence built into the system. Off-the-shelf clinical solutions and pre-packaged software may provide best of breed clinical support, but your hospital is unique. Overall patient care and enterprise performance management requires interoperability solutions to improve clinical quality and financial health.

Data Extraction is key to establishing the baseline information needed for Enterprise Resource Planning and Enterprise Performance Management. Data buried in the clinical systems and records provide a rich source of quality, ERP and EPM information. Accessing that data is difficult; yet having that data available to your management systems is powerful. Once operational and quality data has been extracted from your clinical systems, integrating this data to management systems becomes paramount. Normalized views of data, ready for analysis and reporting must be structured in such a way as to support operational planning, financial reporting and quality reporting.
