EMR Infrastructure Preparedness-
Our people have architected the installation of Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and many other leading applications into the existing infrastructure of hospitals.  Our seasoned IT leaders are intimately familiar with these applications as well as advanced technologies and how all of these pieces fit into the puzzle.

Application Delivery Architecture-
Imagine being able to deploy clinical and business applications “on demand”.  Direct HIT has designed, developed and implemented virtual and streaming application technologies that enable the use of thin clients and anywhere/anytime remote access. We provide the strategy,  engineering, project management and training.  The ROI is related to applications being upgraded and managed at the server, not desktop thus decreasing support needs in the field, and enabling thin client use reducing costs of refreshing desktop PC’s every 3 years! It also enables programs such as “user owned computing”.

Infrastructure/Data Center Automation-
Direct HIT has designed processes and procedures around utilizing server automation tools reducing server administration staff in half, increasing quality, security and audit capabilities, and drastically reducing costs for critical functions such as patching, change mgmt, and more.  The ROI is related to staff savings, audit savings, change mgmt error reduction, and increased uptime.  One client is poised to save approximately $5mm per year alone in the server mgmt area starting year one!
