Healthcare: The easiest Service to Market and the hardest to Manage
InHCc is a Healthcare Information System Software Developer and International Healthcare Management Consulting company that offers cost-effective and practical integrated solutions to a wide range of healthcare professionals and organizations.
We are a company experience in the Management of Healthcare Organizations in both the private and the public sector from Single-Professional Practices, to Hospitals, to large Integrated Healthcare Organization with multiple Complexes, and to the Federal Government. We deal with local, regional and national government agencies. Out experience at managing all facets of healthcare, brings unparalleled resources to our clients. InHCc’s staff has the expertise to address all manner of healthcare issues, including strategic planning, operations assessment, medical management, process improvement, finance, marketing, contract negotiations, demand management, network development, customer service, information technology, facilities planning, and clinical specialty improvement.
At InHCc, our Mission is to be the world leader in helping healthcare organizations transform how they provide effective and efficient health care by (1) Providing management tools to enable the collection of information, (2) proving an understanding of how this data is used and (3) use that understanding to develop solutions to health care and business processes. These solutions are designed to turn healthcare professionals into informed, proactive managers of health care resources.
Badly managed projects, no matter how good the concept or the project may be in itself, will always fail. With better management, the programs will have a chance to succeed and... become sustainable. In order to manage... managers need information.
The Mission of InHCc is obtained by using our "International" class InHCc Healthcare Management Information System (InHCc HMIS).
We combine the "Business Intelligence" gather by our InHCc HMIS together with our "InHCc Management Techniques" to produce Healthcare Solution for the Organization. We provide not only the tools to provide the data but we also provide the services that will teach the Healthcare Professional how to turn this data into useful "Information". It is NOT TRUE that Managers has more questions than answers...in most every case, Managers do not know the questions to ask!
If you do not know what is available, you can make an informed decision.
In addition to presenting our Product and Services, this Web Site deals with issues relevant to Health Care Management and mainly emphasizes policies and procedures of "gathering" and "using information." This site presents many examples of how Business Intelligence can be used to:
-Manage the health of the Individual AND Household (the Social Unit)
-Manage the health of the Organization (Clinical, Hospital, Healthcare Organization Complex)
-Manage the development of health care strategies and policies for improving the Health of the population
-Predict the future
The InHCc HMIS System focuses on not only Health care issues but also those factors that influence the health of the individual, household, and population.
The Five Rights of Production
the right procedure
by the right method
in the right quantity
at the right time
to the right object
If you do not collect the data, you cannot manage the processes of production.
Making a wrong diagnosis is worse than making no diagnosis.
Some individuals talk about computers and computers systems as if they are the solution to all their problems and other individuals create long lists of indicators (without any idea as to how to use these indicators or how to manage them). While this produces what we call "Oh Wow" data, it does little to help improve health care and the health status of the individual. Indicators are "after the fact" and does little to help the Healthcare professional predict the needs of their patients.
Contrary to almost every "brochure," there are NOT silos of "Useful Information" in Healthcare. There are silos of "data" but very few useable variables. The InHCc HMIS is the only known HIS system that collects and analyses extensive social and economic data that can be used in all forms of public health and research.
Cost containment is implemented by operating more efficiently and efficiently…Not by cutting needed healthcare services.
We endeavor to be more practical then theoretical in this web site by offering examples and case studies of how these information systems can actually be used.
At a time when some think only more money will keep the Health System afloat, InHCc can show that more is not necessary. with better management, less is likely needed.
Here at InHCc, we feel that information is a requirement for the management of any organization and our website is a vital part of dissimulating this information to those that welcome it.
You cannot effectively manage an organization without BOTH the "Business Intelligence" and the "Management Techniques".
Information is changing our culture!
Information technology (IT) should enable radical and fundamental "changes" in business processes. It is not sufficient to "duplicate" existing processes (and in most cases you do NOT want to do duplicate a paper system.). The management of data, information, knowledge and processes is the new focus on "Information Resource Management."
You can't get where you want to go by looking in the rearview mirror.
Organizations want to develop systems to do “exactly what we are doing now” instead of trying to develop systems that will increase the efficiency of what they are doing now…i.e.…to make changes where they are needed.
Have you Heard?
The Business Expert: "But it lacks a return of Investment." The Manager: "Yeah! But it would help if you knew how to work the equipment!"
“It seems that in this Organization management do not want you to know what they are doing."
“Staff tend to be isolated and on their own”
“We have to spend all the money now or we will not be able to get money for the budget next year”
“There is no review of what is actually needed…they just tell you to cut 10% off everything”
" We have to Reclassification it in order to be “within budget”
“We didn't do any research on the project? Don't worry the donors that were here last year don't remember!"
"In Guatemala near Antigua, some of the populous have been questioned by researchers so often, the populous knows the questions and what to answer better than the researchers"
The Employee to his manager..."How are we doing?" The Manager..."I do not know."
The Business Consultant to his client..."(1) Define desired performance (2) Describe actual performance (3) Measure the performance gap"... The Client to the Business Consultant "If I knew how to do that, then I wouldn't need you!"
The "Monitoring and Evaluation Expert" to the Project Manager, "We do not want you to think...just do exactly what we tell you to do!
The Project Manager: "But the Strategic Planning Group didn't ask me what or how I was doing!"
The IT vendor: "And this new computers will solve all your problems!" The employee: "but I thought that was what the management was suppose to do!"
"It was great. The process was reformed perfectly and there were no variation in the process. The "Quality of Care Measures were tops".....but you perform the wrong processes!"
"Yes, we have a good system for health care...it can save many lives ...but you have to pay us for it!
"What do you mean by "Patient Satisfaction"? There is not enough money and resources to make everyone happy"
The physician to the patient..."I will cause no harm"...The patient to the physician...."but will you do any good?"
Board of Director to the Physician..."Yes, I understand that you had 16 years of medical training...but can you tell me just how much formal business training and business experience you have had?"
"We do not need to reinvent the wheel"....It healthcare we definitely do need to reinvent the wheel!
