Interoperability strategy & development workshop

A 6-8 week program designed for healthcare providers, MedTech and pharmaceutical companies to ensure interoperability across your specific medical systems, lab and equipment.

Develop interoperability strategy. Align stakeholders.

Non-interoperable data leads to several challenges faced by healthcare organizations, but you can drive and solve these issues:

Workshop overview

During the workshop, we dive into specific medical data and device information exchange challenges and develop actionable strategies for seamless data integration.

Strategic planning and MVP

During our workshop, we will develop several core documents that map interoperability strategy and service blueprint in detail.

  • Service Blueprint
  • Business process map
  • Value proposition canvas
  • Prioritization matrix
  • System interaction
  • Service MVP scope

  • Service blueprint

    Overview: A visual diagram that systematically maps the service delivery process, showing actors, actions, and touchpoints, both frontstage and backstage, providing a holistic view of the processes.

    Purpose: Facilitates better communication of our service proposal, while also illustrating the necessary features and connections, both human and non-human, required for its implementation.

  • Business process map

    Overview: A visual representation that outlines the sequential steps, interactions, and components of a specific business process for analysis and optimization.

    Purpose: Achieve clarity and efficiency by visually depicting the sequential steps, interactions, and components of a process, enabling analysis, optimization, and effective communication.

  • Value proposition canvas

    Overview: A tool used to visualize and analyze how a product or service addresses customer needs and creates value. Divided into two main sections, the customer profile details customer jobs, pains, and gains, while the value map outlines how to achieve the gains for the users.

    Purpose: This tool helps to clarify and improve the alignment between a company's product or service offerings and the specific needs, pains, and gains of its target customers.

  • Prioritization matrix

    Overview: A prioritization matrix, also known as a priority matrix or decision matrix, is a tool used to systematically evaluate and prioritize ideas based on predefined criteria. It helps to make informed decisions by providing a structured framework for comparing and ranking different choices.

    Purpose: Guide decision-makers by defining evaluation criteria, assigning relative importance through weights, scoring options against these criteria, ranking options for prioritization, and facilitating transparent communication of decisions.

  • System interaction

    Overview: This is an anonymized system interaction diagram produced from one of our workshops.  It outlines the various different systems and data flows for an end-state solution.  

    Purpose: Understanding the full picture helps us design solutions that will work both in the short and long term.

  • Service MVP scope

    Overview: A phased roadmap that outlines the minimum viable product (MVP) scope for service, breaking down key deliverables, tools, processes, and capabilities across multiple phases of implementation.

    Purpose: Prioritize and organize the development of service components, ensuring a structured approach to building and launching the MVP. This allows teams to focus on essential features first, plan resource allocation, and provide a clear timeline for stakeholders.

Interoperability use cases

Interoperability strategy workshop designed for healthcare providers, medtech companies, and other stakeholders, addressing critical issues like real-time monitoring, data integration, and chronic disease management. Some of the use cases include, but not restricted to:

Healthcare providers

Challenge: Inefficiencies in pre-operative and post-operative data management.

Solution: Integrating surgical planning and documentation systems with EHRs using HL7v2® or FHIR®, optimizing surgical workflows, improving coordination, and enhancing patient outcomes.

MedTech

Challenge: Difficulty in monitoring and managing medical devices remotely.

Solution: Implementing HL7v2® or FHIR® and IoT standards to enable real-time device data sharing, allowing for proactive maintenance and timely interventions.

Pharmaceutical companies

Challenge: Inefficient and inconsistent adverse event reporting processes.

Solution: Implementing HL7v2® or FHIR® and ICSR standards to streamline adverse event reporting, improving patient safety and regulatory compliance.

Our clients say...

Thank you to each of you for the tremendous effort and the output that was created this week during our two-day workshop.  Your focus, engagement, and expertise was vital in making this workshop a success.  We made a fantastic start on the journey to defining what will be a new core competency for xxxx that will surely lead to a sustainable competitive advantage for us.  There is plenty of work ahead, but with the solid start that we’ve made together, we are in great shape.
