Executive Summary
Recent regulations and business practices such as billing require BestHealth Inc. to Release Information to patients and other approved entities.
BestHealth Inc. is a mid-level health system that consists of a 100-bed regional hospital and a 300-bed tertiary care center. BestHealth also recently concluded a merger with All Docs Co. and added four outpatient clinics to its system. With the merger, BestHealth now serves a catchment area that covers the northern half of the state of Pennsylvania. Both hospitals have an average daily census of 80%, and the outpatient clinics have an average of 300 patient visits weekly. Staffing at the regional hospital and the tertiary care hospital are within industry averages, and each outpatient clinic staff consists of four physicians, four advanced practice nurses and support staff.
However, BestHealth currently does not have consistent processes around ROI and also does not have the ability to track and document ROI across the enterprise. The CEO has asked you to review some third-party software they are considering and to develop a Value Proposition around purchasing and implementing this type of information system. She feels this is crucial to protect BestHealth from inappropriate releases and to ensure HIPAA compliance. She is also interested in understanding how much data is being released, to who and for what purpose. Several software packages they are considering are:
