Healthcare is a multi-trillion dollar industry worldwide. Healthcare costs are growing faster than the ability of countries to sustain and support their healthcare systems. Important contributors to this trend include the aging population, a growing prevalence of costly chronic diseases, and inefficiency due to healthcare being a primarily paper-based system. Governments are investing heavily in the conversion of the paper-based systems to electronic systems in order to improve efficiency, increase capacity, and control costs more effectively. Investment is taking place to convert both hospital systems and physician offices to Electronic Records. Once the conversion to Electronic Records is complete, a new order will exist and an entire industry will evolve in order to support and sustain electronic health record systems.
The Cientis Technologies online platform provides physicians, governments, vendors, and funding organizations the necessary tools to implement and effectively use Electronic Records (EMR/EHRs) in order to improve care, enhance efficiency, and achieve savings in healthcare systems.
Using our proprietary platform, Cientis Technologies develops online communities for physicians and practice managers to support the selection, adoption, and implementation of EMR/EHRs and related healthcare technology products and services through a multitude of resources: the readiness assessment tool; consumer rating systems; blogs; podcasts; vendor marketplace; group purchase program; and additional online tools. We support the enhanced use of EMR/EHRs through online education, peer support groups, and consumer ratings on ancillary products and services. We provide governments and funding organizations with performance measurement tools that enable real-time program management, effective utilization of resources, and fiscal accountability.
More than 80% of Americans think the US health system needs fundamental change or a complete overhaul.
