Problem

Undoubtedly, this healthcare provider’s staff are some of the most talented and experienced professionals in the Tri-State area. Where they struggled, however, was in providing consistent patient care experiences. Patients had to wait in long lines pre and post-visit to submit or collect records at the front desk, leaving them dissatisfied.

The systems used in the hospital were so slow that they couldn’t accommodate more than 200 appointments a day. Despite using the system, their staff still had manual paperwork and relied on calls to transfer patient information, leading to low employee morale.

The inflexible system also led to an inability to get required features, and third-party apps had to support these requirements. Poor data quality led to data inconsistency and inaccurate reporting. Essentially, the legacy application and database were actively preventing this healthcare provider from achieving their business goals.

When they decided that the legacy application had to go, they faced the challenge of replacing the complex system with a massive data volume. They looked for a futuristic partner and engaged TVS Next to swiftly build an agile, centralized, and user-friendly application for their entire patient care ecosystem.

Strategy

TVS Next put together a cross-functional team of experts and conducted Accelerated Discovery Workshops with the healthcare provider’s C-suite. We interviewed all the stakeholders to understand their vision and mapped these to their business KPIs.

The healthcare provider desired to build a proprietary system that needed to be flexible to keep up with market changes.

Transformation Journey

After extensive research, TVS Next developed a roadmap to build an omnichannel patient care experience platform with plug-and-play capabilities that met all the business KPIs.

One of the main goals TVS Next worked towards was to make the new system as self-sufficient as possible by limiting third-party dependencies. Since TVS Next understood the workflows of different departments, we built a microservices-based system with a human-centered design to accommodate the hospital’s requirements. We migrated all their data to a modern data platform.

We built an automated CI/CD pipeline with parallel processing to eliminate data mishaps. Building with innate digital experience has reduced data discrepancies, increased system flexibility to introduce new features, accelerated advanced data analytics capabilities, and improved overall service quality.

Empathizing with the struggles of the staff and healthcare professionals allowed us to build separate modules that automated and streamlined multiple processes and departmental tasks.

Some Modules Built on Request Include

  • HR application
  • Mobile application to bridge senior citizens with doctors
  • Specialist referral program
  • Outpatient management program
  • Vaccine appointment booking module
  • Housekeeping alerts program
