Information Technology / Program Management

Beacon Healthcare Principals have had extensive Project Management experience managing both software development projects as well as standard client software implementations. Experience extends to the development of implementation methodology for both types of implementations. Highly successful projects include small (under 100 beds) to large (over 850 beds) organizations. Projects have encompassed outpatient as well as inpatient systems. Activations utilizing approaches from pilot units with slow rollouts, to major institutions using ‘big bang’ have been highly successful. With the current focus on clinical provider order entry applications, Beacon has been an active coordinator of multiple physician order entry projects.

• Software development projects have been delivered on time and within budget receiving high marks for attaining robust feature function.
• Client implementations are well planned with rapid user adoption of new workflow and automation.
• In the area of software development, project management experiences include:
  – Web-Based/Portal Clinical Data Repository/Clinical Access/Dashboard
  – Clinical Narrative Documentation (MD, RN, other clinicians)
  – Radiology Transcription
  – Flow Sheets / Activity-based Charting
  – Order Entry / Provider Order Entry

Beacon led implementations receive extremely high ratings for client satisfaction. Foundational to these successes is the use of a Beacon refined implementation methodology encompassing cultural as well as technical components.
