[Tech Tip!] Cloud Craze: Are You a CIO Worried About Cloud ROI?

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Sat, Nov 12, 2022 @ 09:15 AM

With today's rising costs, healthcare facilities must keep a tight grasp on their budgets! With that said, there's a trend of news articles suggesting CIOs are not seeing ROI from moving to cloud-based services.

 

But MedCityNews is debunking this, reminding us that change is neither easy nor cheap. In their article, Debunking Cloud Cost and ROI Hogwash for Healthcare, they explain how the cloud is in fact revolutionizing healthcare systems, delivering both cost and time savings. 

 

In another article from Becker's Hospital Review, 'Cloud projects are powering forward': Health system CIOs on cloud spending amid economic pressures, Scott Arnold, Executive Vice President and CIO of Tampa General Hospital, says “We don't view cloud service as a 'nice to have' or unnecessary expense.” 

 

Why? Because hospitals and healthcare facilities need to move EHRs around while storing patient data in a secure location. The cost to provide a facility with all the on-site equipment and energy for this would easily equal or trample the cost of an IT-provided cloud service that provides cybersecurity, resilience, agility, and scalability. 

 

The takeaway here is to have patience in seeking ROI from conversion to cloud-based services – and to strategically plan how and when you might embark upon this. But it is a necessary adaptation to meet the healthcare industry's critical and fast-changing needs.

 

"Cloud power is what drives the rapid digital innovation we see across pretty much every other industry — and it enables healthcare organizations to solve increasingly complex problems more affordably, quickly, and reliably."

 

Our primeCLOUD team can help by providing you with the strategy, security, cost control, operational efficiency, reliability, and agility to maximize your IT performance. Get in touch to strategize your transition to cloud-based services.

[Event] Top Takeaways from LTC 100

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Mon, May 07, 2018 @ 07:42 AM

Our executives returned from this year's LTC 100 event with 10 top takeaways for post-acute care leaders and immediately saw three ways we can help.

#1: Managed Care Will Become Your Best Payer

This means it's critical for you to streamline contract and case management right now. Bring contract data, plus best practice processes online with Managed Care MASTER to keep case and contract management quick and easy for staff.

#2 Make Staffing a Strategic Priority

Healthcare staffing remains a challenge, but bringing recruiting online with primeFORCE Job Center can help you hire qualified candidates faster. We've channeled primeFORCE partnerships with top insurance agencies into affordable employee benefits plans that will help you attract and retain staff in this highly competitive environment.

#3: Aim to Become a Post-Acute Care Management Company

Your residents shouldn't have to leave your facility to pursue other types of care. Build a network of care partners that are willing to deliver care to your facility.

Our affordable employee benefits plans also work for residents, enabling you to deliver telemedicine, prescription savings and life insurance right to their door.

Survival in this emerging post-acute environment requires extreme efficiency – and our technology and partnerships can help. If you'd like to hear more about this, get in touch.
