Healthcare Technology - Buy Versus Build or Both

 

While securing data is a concern, deciding the most applicable and cost-efficient technology is the most important priority for health organizations.

The buy versus build methodology has morphed into more of a buy-and-build process. This is due to the scope and complexity of launching purchased software that must meet the requirements for rapidly changing rules and regulations, driving patient satisfaction and improving bottom line financial performance.

 

The long-term impact on a provider’s organization warrants careful consideration so that technology decisions are made with the strategy that ultimately will have the most positive effect on the entire enterprise. While it takes substantial time and effort from technology leaders and stakeholders to make the most appropriate decision buy, build or both, the costs of making a poor decision can be catastrophic. On the other hand, the benefits of making the right decision can positively affect a hospital’s bottom line for decades to come.
