Expand Access Points Case Study
The Problem
A national women’s healthcare provider needed a way to increase access to care without increasing cost. Considerable investments had been made in a scheduling solutions that did not accommodate new patients and required personnel to approve each transaction, wiping out any potential cost benefit as planned.
The Solution
UPIC leadership dedicated several months to understanding and documenting requirements and workflows through a collaborative process, facilitating a comprehensive National RFP process.
UPIC Leadership engaged key subject matter experts to down select potential providers and identify risks and benefits to each solution and negotiate competitive costs for implementation and maintenance.
Ultimately, this resulted in a real-time scheduling solution fully integrated with client Electronic Patient Management System.
