Custom Edge Development: Closing the COTS Gap
Emerging Tech closes the gap between standardized COTS EMR systems and the unique requirements of each healthcare organization.
Health IT
Healthcare organizations, to modernize, deploy Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Systems. While COTS implementation ushers in modern technology it comes at the price of standardization. Standardization ignores the unique requirements and specialized scenarios organizations face, resulting in a gap between the healthcare organizations’ needs and the COTS technology. What is the middle ground between standardization and a unique solution? Emerging Tech specializes in Custom Edge Development that can help close the gap between standard COTS EMRs systems and each organization’s unique needs.
What the Work Delivered
- Implementing rigorous design standards and a systematic change control process.
- Applying those design standards when performing design, development, validation, and implementation of requests.
- Sustainment, through training your organization on how to design, develop, validate, and implement.
How We Delivered It
Identification
Emerging Tech professionals focus on first identifying the needs and unique scenarios in which the COTS EMR system is not meeting the healthcare organizations’ needs.
Prioritization
We can then prioritize the order in which each customization needs to be executed and understand the risk and cost to each. Custom Edge Development requires understanding when to say, ‘yes’ to a customization request and when to say ‘no’.
Implementation
Then our team works to write, create, and maintain custom edge developed content through following industry and EMR maintenance standards for the following: Cerner Command Language (CCL), Discern Rules/Alerts, Reporting, Complex System Auditing & Troubleshooting, Data Science, Systems Integration, SQL & JAVA.
The Result
Once Custom Edge Development practices are implemented, the result is a sophisticated EMR. It can meet the specific demands of your organization’s patient population while maintaining standard processes and modern technology to do so.
