Digital strategy consulting
Our digital strategy experts guide our customers in building a better connected and more functional health and social care system.
We help identify and solve major real-world problems with impactful digital operating models and solutions. Digital transformations are designed end-to-end, backed with a proper business case to build on. In the next phase, we help organize and resource the implementation.
Our primary customer base consists of public healthcare providers. We also work with medical technology vendors in helping create their product development and market entry strategies.
Digital architecture consulting
We help our clients create coherent enterprise architectures with a strong focus on interoperability on all levels. We have deep domain knowledge in health and social care, including an understanding of governing legislation. This means we also understand what cannot be done within the domain’s regulatory framework.
We help our clients choose the most suitable enterprise architecture methodologies and frameworks – and also help them to use these tools to create seamless interoperability. We are very familiar with industry-specific information models such as HL7.
Our long-standing customers include ministries, national authorities, and healthcare providers. We also work with international EMR vendors to help them to comply with local requirements.
We help both public and private clients in social and health care and medtech digitalize everything that can be digitalized.
Transformation design
We strive to stop innovation failures in health and social care. We do this by applying design-based approaches to support policy and decision-makers, healthcare professionals, and patients through systematically led business transformations.
Our experts combine a solid understanding of health and social care with design thinking. We have the expertise to conceptualize what the right technologies can offer. We utilize methodologies derived from design thinking, such as end-user studies, requirement analyses, usability assessments, pilots, and field trials. We also conduct feasibility studies and can evaluate value. These are essential in major transformation projects such as redesigning hospitals and renewing EMRs.
Many of our clients are public healthcare providers. Private enterprises, such as pharmaceutical companies, often sponsor the projects.
