HealthMEDX Drives Customer-Centric Transformation With iRise Visualization
Visual product models improve quality and accelerate time to market
El Segundo, Calif. - May 5, 2009 - iRise®, the world's leading visualization solutions company, today announced that HealthMEDX, the number one U.S.-based software provider for long-term care, home health, and rehab organizations, has adopted iRise visualization as a crucial component of an organization-wide initiative to improve product quality and accelerate delivery of its Web-based healthcare software solutions suite. Business analysts at HealthMEDX are now using high definition visualizations created with iRise during the design and analysis phase of projects as the standard for defining enhancements to existing products and new software offerings.
"iRise is a critical part of our strategy to improve product quality and gain competitive advantage in an industry that is undergoing incredible transformation," said Jim Atteberry, CEO of HealthMEDX. "The single biggest issue with delivering software is communications. The greatest leverage that iRise enables is improving communications at the front-end of the process, which will help us eliminate rework and speed delivery."
HealthMEDX enables healthcare providers to utilize a single solution for all customer relationship management, census, clinical electronic health record (EHR), and financial information. Over 3,300 extended care facilities nationwide have standardized on the HealthMEDX solution.
Through the adoption of iRise visualization solutions, business analysts at HealthMEDX can now quickly build fully functional application models using the enterprise grade iRise visualization platform. Business stakeholders and product owners can interact with and fully experience proposed enhancements and new software before any coding, eliminating costly rework and ensuring high quality products are delivered. iRise visualizations are also being tested directly with clinicians and administrators at HealthMEDX customer sites, giving the company invaluable feedback on usability and adoption potential.
"We saw an immediate positive change with iRise," Mr. Atteberry continued. "We have to get the user interface right the first time and we had to get there quicker. iRise empowers us with speed and agility that ultimately means we can focus on delivering innovation faster to our customers."
"Visualization is now a standard for companies that want to deliver higher quality software while also optimizing time to market," said Mitch Bishop, CMO of iRise. "Like many companies, HealthMEDX recognized the status quo is no longer acceptable in today's business climate. Visualization is now an enabler for driving innovation to market faster, while at the same time lowering cost of delivery."
