THE CHALLENGE
Customer had committed to make the application available at their user conference, within a
year. Regulatory requirements and customer demands had diverted their existing team to focus
on maintaining the legacy application. Developing for mobile platform also meant need for a
new skillset, which the customer did not have. Further there was no possibility of scope
reduction, as the solution would not nd much use with limited scope.

HEALTHASYST SOLUTION
In a short span of 30 days, HealthAsyst ramped up a fairly large team with necessary technical and
domain background. Working closely with the product owners, HealthAsyts team of experts
devised a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that not only met the current needs, but also
provided a future path to migrate from the current legacy application to a more modern
web-based platform with a simplied design. HealthAsyst team reverse-engineered requirement
from the existing code base and a solution was built keeping in mind the need to support multiple
mobile OS in future. HealthAsyst also built an automated test framework that reduced the testing
eort by 50%. The solution was delivered with the desired scope before the annual conference.

THE RESULT
The solution was showcased at the user conference and got the best reviews, exceeding
customer expectations. The exible charting, assessment, documentation and overall simplied
design of the workow, ensured wide adoption by the end-users. The application oered a 50%
reduction in key strokes and optimized the workows for the eld-sta. This resulted in
improved eciency of the sta allowing them to focus on quality of care.
