The lack of data standardization, the use of different EHRs or different versions of the same EHR with customization nuances, and the loss of key employees involved in building or customizing data analytics platforms are key data integration challenges on the path to Value-Based Care (VBC) for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), according to the National Association of ACOs' 2024 report, "ACO Drivers for Success." The report highlights that today there are myriad data analytics solutions, which adds complexity to understanding who can truly deliver what an ACO needs and to properly vetting vendors.

Self-Service Population Health Analytics to Justify Grants for Expansion

Self-service analytics is widely used by large healthcare networks that operate hundreds of care locations, treat hundreds of thousands of hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits, and employ tens of thousands of staff members.

Inpatient Dashboards with Length of Stay Analytics to Reduce the LOS in Hospitals

Healthcare Analytics to Reduce the Average Length of Stay in Hospitals

If you have ever heard about how an optimized Length of Stay (LOS) may impact the financial health of healthcare systems in theory, not in practice, you may not believe it at first glance. Reports suggest that thousands of inpatient days are saved, several thousand admissions become possible due to "sudden" bed availability (equivalent to adding dozens of new beds), and, of course, tens of millions in direct operating expenses are prevented. All of this is complemented by such "side effects" as avoiding adverse patient events (ranging from falls to multi-drug resistance and hospital-acquired infections) and reducing the total cost of care. How is this even possible? What steps do we need to follow to recreate this success?

Relational Databases in Healthcare

Relational databases are historically the first databases, that's why they are so widely used in different industries including healthcare. The main goal of a relational database is to reduce data duplication. Relational databases store single pieces of information within tables, familiar to everybody today, using predefined relationships between them, like “this patient has this name/surname in the Patient Database Table and has this diagnosis from the Diagnosis Database Table”. Such databases are also known as SQL databases because SQL programming language is used to store, manipulate, and retrieve data from them. Talking about databases we can’t ignore infrastructure issues around databases, because they do not exist in a vacuum. In fact, healthcare businesses choose a database not on the fact of whether it’s relational or not but by taking into account hosting providers and their services.

React Components Explained

As a successful application gets bigger and more complicated, React's approach of building everything out of small components (component-based architecture) becomes really helpful. Instead of trying to deal with the entire user interface, React lets developers break it down into smaller pieces. Nicely organized components are self-contained and easier to update or refactor when needed. This component-based approach allows engineers to reuse pieces of client apps' user interfaces in multiple places and makes the code maintainable at a lower cost.

Healthcare Penetration Testing

What happens when a healthcare system is hit by a cyberattack? Hospitals sever connections to their online systems. As a result, electronic health records systems, patient portals (which enable patients to view their medical records and communicate with their providers), phone systems, and various systems used to order certain tests, procedures, and medications become unavailable. Non-emergent procedures, tests, and appointments are paused. Staff don’t have patient orders and can’t page doctors. Medical, nursing, and clinical teams have to utilize manual processes or documentation methods that they moved away from 20 years ago. Switching to paper records and processing everything by hand, are again in place for various clinical activities, such as dispensing medication, inputting health records, ordering, and completing diagnostic tests and procedures. It's a disaster you never want to face.

HubSpot QuickBooks Integration

QuickBooks Online is software for managing your business finances and accounting. HubSpot is software for managing your customer relationships and sales. Sometimes, you might want information from your QuickBooks accounting to be shared with your HubSpot customer system, or vice versa. To make this possible, there is a special computer program (an app) that can connect QuickBooks and HubSpot together. This app acts as a bridge, allowing data to flow between the two systems. You can find this connecting app in the HubSpot Marketplace, which is HubSpot's own store for add-ons. The app covers most of the common data you'd want to share between accounting and customer systems. However, the pre-built ready-to-use integration app cannot cover absolutely everything that your business needs. This is where custom QuickBooks and HubSpot integration enters the scene.

JSF to Angular migration

The strong point for JSF is that your in-house or dedicated Java developers don’t need to know everything about frontend to do frontend stuff. However, over time, JSF projects become too complex to maintain, even if your team consists of 100% senior engineers. You're always days behind schedule when you require a use case that isn't provided with existing widgets/features. Developers are forced to create monstrosities of code trying to use JSF to work around the lack of some critical functionalities (like simple REST services). Switching from JSF to client-side frontend frameworks like Angular, React or Vue.js greatly improves developers' efficiency, makes state management much easier and code testing much more streamlined. You don’t need to move your entire JSF-based app at once, break it down and do it in pieces.

Why use Front-end Frameworks

What are front-end frameworks? Front-end frameworks are software development tools used by custom web application development companies for building user interfaces. They provide a collection of pre-written code that can be reused by following specific standards, which typically include conventions for organizing different parts of the code. By adhering to these standards, front-end frameworks help developers understand and work with code written by others more easily, making them especially useful when different dedicated developers are working on the same codebase. This ensures that your front-end developers apply a single set of rules, documentation, and best practices to write code. If you lose one of the developers, it's easier to find a replacement without much onboarding time, as every developer immediately understands how to do the same kind of work in the same way.
