Get Ahead of the Wave

Every Health IT organization has it within them to be great.
It starts with Clarity. We will build a plan with you for Clarity.

The mission for Health IT is too important not to be ahead of the curve

From buried to leading. The difference between a successful Health IT operation and a lagging one is clarity. With clarity you can lead.

We've been under the wave

We were once buried by the waves as they crashed over us again and again.

In the fall of 2011 we were brought in as leaders at a $6BN health system that faced:

50% of the data center equipment and 60% of workstations were end-of-life
1,800 instances of 900 distinct applications
9 Acute care EHR instances
A clinically integrated network with >90 EHRs
A data center that had just gone completely down 8 times in 6 weeks.

We emerged from that, we got ahead and started riding the wave and it is exhilarating

24 months later

1 Acute EHR
Reduced data center footprint from 12 to 2. Avoiding $15M in data center investments
Reduced server provisioning from 2 weeks to 2 minutes
Developed and launched multi-EHR portal in 30 days
Developed and launched online clinic check-in application in 7 days

We believe every Health IT organization has it within them to be great. It starts with clarity

“Health Lyrics worked rapidly to develop a fact base for our decision-making. They provided clarity with pragmatic steps to address challenges. They worked comfortably with me and team while also being able to challenge us appropriately. Their findings were of great value. I have the highest regard for Health Lyrics"

"Bill’s team developed and implemented a technology roadmap that emphasized operational excellence, financial stewardship and innovation. The result was an IT function that went from lagging to being world class. They have my highest recommendation"
