About Ocius Medical Informatics

Ocius Medical Informatics (OMI) provides healthcare organizations and vendors with business and technical consulting services that focus on medical informatics, a fast-evolving specialty that can be daunting even to those in the field.

We can help you meet all the challenges of healthcare technology:

• Assessing its viability for your business
• Communicating its power and potential to members of your organization
• Implementing it to solve ongoing problems and maximize your resources.

We can also help you forge new business relationships with other organizations that can provide products, techniques, and strategies you don't have internally.

OMI's unique approach to medical informatics is the result of more than 25 years of experience in provider and vendor settings - experience we employ to provide our customers with innovative solutions based on real-world situations and proven technology.

Successfully Analyzing Business Issues & Assessing Potential Solutions

The first step in solving any problem is identification. First isolate and define the problem, and only then evaluate potential solutions, and finally select and implement the best option.

And that's what we do. We can understand and address your organization's situation from start to finish: from the analysis of business issues to the development of successful technical solutions. Our years of in-depth working health information technology mean that we can rapidly and thoroughly assess the viability of proposals. We can help your organization realize the potential of your chosen solution by creating and executing successful implementation plans.

Helping Professionals Communicate Successfully

Analysis of business and technical issues is essential, but equally important is the ability to communicate clearly and concisely complex (and sometimes confusing) technical information to non-technical personnel or technical personnel in a different specialty. OMI partners have focused on developing skills to bridge communication gaps between business, technical, and medical personnel - gaps in information, language,and perspective. The result? Your organization takes full advantage of the rich knowledge base your staff possesses.

Steering the Way to Successful Partnerships

OMI has established relationships with major corporations as well as innovative newcomers,and that means we're able to help you develop strategic partnerships, alliances that can drive your business in ways and to degrees you can't manage by yourself.

Technology Assessment Services

The recent upheavals in the high-tech market clearly show that some technologies (even brilliant technologies) may be destined to fail. How do you know which companies and which products will survive and benefit you the most?

To be successful, an organization must be able to:

• Assess a new technology
• Understand its direction
• Use it to gain a competitive advantage

OMI's history in healthcare and in evaluating emerging technologies affords you a unique insight into the marketability, strength, and potential of new companies and new products.

Regulatory Evaluation and Guidance Services

HIPAA's impact on healthcare will be immense, and healthcare organizations will succeed only if they can comply with HIPAA directives in a timely and cost-effective way. To do so requires developing and executing imaginative solutions.

We've studied HIPAA extensively. We can perform a detailed analysis of your organization's unique environment to assess your organization's "compliance gaps" for HIPAA as well as other federal and state regulations, and to determine what actions are needed. We will suggest efficient ways to address your particular compliance requirements.

Technical Services

We work with healthcare organizations to confront technology challenges in two key ways:we ask the right questions, and we participate in the best solutions.

When you've determined your best course of action, OMI brings together teams of technical specialists to help you implement it, whatever form it takes - installing a single sign-on system, developing a Web-based physician access tool, or implementing a new interface technology.

Business Development Services

Healthcare can be a treacherous marketplace, but along with the dangers come a wealth of opportunities for organizations that understand the business dynamics and - even more importantly - have easy and open access to other key players in the market. Developing cooperative, mutually beneficial links with business partners helps maximize your resources, diminish your risks, and enhance your rewards.

OMI can assist you in growing your business - by increasing your productivity through evolving technologies and expanding relationships. Whether you are entering the healthcare market with a new product, repositioning an existing product, or looking for solutions, OMI has the knowledge, skills, and relationships to help you succeed.
