Cybage Software: Right Adoption of Technology is the Key to Health

By

While IT is gaining fast inroads in healthcare enterprises, most of the solutions implemented fall woefully short of primary goals of a successful Health IT implementation viz., improve quality of care delivered and reduce operational costs. An incorrectly implemented health IT solution often ends up in doing more harm than good!

Pune based Cybage Software Private Limited, understands the multidimensional nature of this problem and has more than eighteen years of experience in implementing innovative health IT solutions, which alleviate the problems of two key stakeholders in the healthcare life cycle – Physicians and Patients.

"The goal of any Clinical Information System (CIS) should be to help prevent physicians from making costly errors, improve their productivity, and get them necessary data at the point of care," says Arun Nathani, CEO & MD, Cybage Software. For its' clients, Cybage has implemented Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) which implement features like Drug – Drug, Drug – allergy interaction alerts while prescribing medicines, operational checklists based on Evidence based Medicine (EBM) guidelines, pre-decided order lists for common medical conditions and so on. Cybage has a dedicated team of HL7 certified clinical interoperability specialists to help integrate patient data lying in disparate department silos, thereby providing physician access to critical clinical data at the point-of-care.
An oft repeated cliché in Health IT industry is that physicians are loath to adopt technology and that feature rich Clinical Information System (CIS) often remain unused. The primary reason for this is the lack of usability of such systems. The problem could range from cumbersome workflows to inappropriate organization of clinical information. Cybage has team of dedicated healthcare usability experts and visual designers who help its’ clients implement intuitive health IT solutions leading to vastly improved technology adoption rate and physician satisfaction.

The next piece of puzzle is improving patient engagement in the care delivery cycle. The focus now is towards preventive healthcare. The simplest way to keep people healthy is motivate them and put them in charge of their health. For example, if one is able to ensure that diabetic patients have their sugar levels checked regularly, you could drastically reduce probability of co-morbidity conditions. There are countless such examples. Patient engagement is the key! Wellness and chronic diseases management solutions developed by Cybage have found strong resonance with enterprises organizations and insurance companies. These innovative patient engagement platforms leverage popular mobile platforms like Android, iOS, Windows and several others.

With an experienced team of Health IT professionals backed by a strong portfolio of successfully implemented Health IT solutions, the Healthcare and Life Sciences practice at Cybage is rightly poised to ride the next wave of innovation in Healthcare industry.
