Technology UniverseTM
Many long-term care agencies operate paper intensively or have operated with old systems, which were not built with a VBP philosophy. We help our clients not just to find the best technology; but to find the technology that best fits their strategic objectives.
Our procurement services are tailored to the clients’ specific needs and assist the client to focus on the technical and non-technical aspects of their request. Once a technology is selected through a short-listing process, we support the client with implementation, change management, and post-implementation reviews and assessments.
