Our Focus

Focus on Value

Information technology offers many opportunities for creating value in the healthcare ecosystem. But often times, the technology promise has gone unfulfilled because of inadequate consideration to adoption issues.

	“Healthcare players have trapped themselves in a zero-sum game, dividing up value instead of creating it. The cure? Shift to positive-sum competition that drives up value for customers over time, and has worked in every other complex industry.” Michael Porter & Elizabeth Teisberg Redefining Competition in Healthcare, Harvard Business Review

At Net.Orange, we understand that the patient-physician relationship needs to be at the center of every technology-based initiative. We design, develop, and deploy our solutions around this core tenet to maximize adoption success.

Net.Orange solutions focus on creating value in three areas:

Quality of Care for improving lives

Today, it is the health-plan or network that is at the center of the healthcare ecosystem, which gives patients little choice. As the focus evolves towards a patient-centric model, applications for disease management will become more central in measuring the quality of clinical care. Emerging areas that Net.Orange solutions team focus on include:

• Prevention:
  Wellness programs targeted at high-risk individuals to delay or eliminate the onset of preventable diseases like diabetes
• Diagnosis:
  Improved standard of care through accurate electronic capture and analysis of patient symptoms
• Treatment:
  Personalized drugs based on patient demographics and genomic profiles
• Research:
  Interactive and “adaptive” clinical trials that provide real-time visibility of clinical results to sponsors and clinical research organizations

Operational Efficiency for better management

New areas for back-office operations include intelligent revenue management and inventory management that helps reduce costs through optimal pharmacy inventory and tracking to bring about greater efficiency.

Existing applications also offer new sources of value. With a little creativity, these systems can be enhanced by building more user-friendly interfaces, enhancing workflows to improve adoption, and connecting them with data silos to create new perspectives and insights through improved analytics.

Collaboration Opportunities: for sharing and visibility

Interoperability in healthcare is now a strategic imperative for many reasons. First, a consumer-driven healthcare model warrants “portability” of patient information. But this is also happening as healthcare players reorganize themselves through partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions to be more competitive.

In order to succeed, healthcare players must not only organize their hierarchy of data, information, and knowledge effectively, but also be able to share it rapidly and securely among their partners and patients in the healthcare ecosystem. The Net.Orange cOS (Clinical Operating System) enables a broad range of solutions to collaborate across the healthcare network due to its interoperable technology framework and sophisticated data models.
