IMC's services, methods and techniques will vary depending on the
requirements and budget of the client.
At a minimum, our
planning services provide:
·
A needs assessment (basic or extensive--including review, discussion
and, as required, modification of your proposed implementation
strategy);
·
A proven "real world"-based business case development that has
withstood numerous exhaustive reviews by administrative boards,
finance committees, and hospital CFO’s;
·
Advanced process reengineering services (such as a review of
department operations and recommendations for ways to improvement
overall operation--many of which do not involve PACS);
·
Other tasks defined by the customer or mutually agreed upon as
necessary for the project’s success. These typically are discussed on
the two-day walkthrough.
Our contracts are
typically broken into two parts--one for planning and the other for
implementation. This assures our client that during the planning
session, if we find PACS is not a viable solution (it cannot be cost
justified, etc.), that the client is not obligated to pay for
implementation services not rendered.
The only caveat we have is that if IMC provides the PACS planning
services, we do not allow facilities to share IMC's project plan with
another consulting firm for implementation due to copyright issues
(all work plans performed by IMC are copyrighted, with IMC retaining
copyright and the client granted limited license to use the plan
internally as required).
PACS vendor
evaluation services include RFP development, RFP review and technical
review and assessment, and contract development. These can be done as
a single project or individually as required by the customer.
We DO NOT
perform vendor implementation services as we feel would compromise the
integrity and objectivity of the consultant’s role nor do we work with
anyone performing these services. We instead oversee and review the
implementation of the PACS project through the selected vendor(s).
A
full breakdown of services can be obtained from IMC and can be
modified to meet the specific needs of the client.
