CHENMED
“ They ’ re more than just a vendor to us ,” explains Perras . “ We get visibility on how their technology is developing and how it can help us . It ’ s technology like this , particularly over the past year , that has proved to be crucial . It ’ s been the cornerstone for our remote approach during the pandemic and something we can rely on . They ’ ve helped several of our business units transition smoothly from 100 % in the office to virtually 100 % remote .”
Another key partner for Perras and his team is SHI International ; helping ChenMed consolidate vendor handling for simplicity . “ SHI has provided us with a one-stop shop to manage vendor relationships ” he confirms . “ It lends itself well to one of our guiding principles in IT ; it ' s always easier to maintain and manage simple systems than to have to worry about complexity .”
The Future for Healthcare Gleaning better insights from data in real time requires a lot of processing time and power , but remains key to ChenMed ’ s aspirations for supporting physicians while achieving the best possible outcomes for patients .
“ During encounters with patients , we see data as a way to enhance physician decision-making real time . “ So , we ’ re making a big effort to restructure , better store , and better segment data across our enterprise . We ’ re focused on dealing with the technological implementations required to speed real time and highly relevant data sharing of best practices to consider as our amazing doctors personalize care for each patient .”
The future for Perras and his team is about streamlining and reducing friction to better achieve ChenMed ’ s goals . “ We want to go faster but we don ' t want to do so by brute force or by increasing the effort . We want to go faster by reducing the resistance across the board in our development lifecycle and how fast we can get tangible and transformative products through our pipeline . We want that pipeline to be even more effective through greater automation of testing , code verification and quality controls to meet our main goal of daytime deployments on demand .”
ChenMed is going through evolution rather than revolution to ramp the maturity of its development process to realise major benefits for both patients and practitioners . healthcareglobal . com 161
