Rehab Revolution: Building a White-Label EMR for Streamlined Patient Care

Overview

Our client, a consultancy agent, approached us with the ambitious goal of developing a white-label Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system for an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the US. They aimed to sell this EMR to other healthcare therapists. The client envisioned a comprehensive solution that would streamline various hospital operations, including patient management, Scheduling, Therapy planning, daily notes, billing, and labor management. The EMR was to be built from scratch, offering a range of modules to meet the diverse needs of healthcare facilities. This client reached out to Thinkitive for this project due to our experience in providing healthcare services and our vast portfolio of successful projects.

Business challenges

The consultancy/agency client took a market survey, uncovering significant demand for specialized EMR solutions tailored to rehabilitation healthcare facilities. Existing EMR systems posed substantial challenges for healthcare therapists, leading to excess costs and low efficiency. Here are the primary challenges encountered by healthcare therapists:

1. Limited Customization and Flexibility:

EMR systems that lack customization options or flexibility to adapt to the unique needs of healthcare therapists may hinder workflow optimization. Therapists may be forced to follow rigid processes or workaround inefficient features, leading to decreased productivity.

2. Higher costs with lower efficiencies:

Healthcare therapists are burdened by the dual challenge of escalating expenses paired with diminishing operational efficiencies when utilizing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems. Inefficiencies in system usability and poor technical support contribute to decreased productivity and heightened operational expenses.
