Surviving and Thriving in Healthcare

Rock-Pond’s president, Pete Tanguay, presented the keynote address at the Fastrack User Conference in Melville New York on Thursday May 28, 2010.  About 150 Fastrack users across all continuums of home health care attended and engaged in roundtable sessions and networking events. 

The primary message given was that with all of the technology available today and with the massive amounts of data available to generate valuable information, the key to surviving and thriving in health care is not simple having technology and software functionality, but to be able to prioritize and effectively implement this technology and software functionality to bring business value.  Organizations must have a strategic information plan that is rooted in the business goals of the company and carried down to the day to day processes.  Effective implementation of technology requires personnel across the organization to take the initiative to learn how their function fits within the overall business.  We must break down the walls between the clinical, reimbursement and back end accounting functions of our home health care company and leverage the technology and data that is available to drive the business. 

Specific data integration and data reporting case studies along with lessons learned were presented.  To preview the Powerpoint Presentation, click on the image below.
