Patriot Labs Health Announces New HealthIT Assessment Service

Patriot Labs Health, a provider of healthcare information technology consulting services, has launched a new HealthIT assessment service called Prism to provide Rapid Business Case and Economic Justification Assessments to healthcare organizations (Hospitals, Health Systems and Physician Groups).

WASHINGTON, DC — July 31, 2014 – Patriot Labs Health, a leading provider of technology and business consulting services, announced today the creation of a new Prism healthIT assessment service aimed at helping hospitals, health systems and physician groups evaluate a range of health technology platforms, system implementations and product configurations. Using the Prism healthIT assessment, Patriot Labs Health consultants deliver rapid business case and cost-benefit analysis to health care organizations that need to analyze strategies, assess project impacts, and validate the ROI of proposed vendor solutions.

“There is a clear need among healthcare organizations for a better way of assessing vendor solutions and more accurately determining their projected value and benefit realization,” said Jed Batchelder, Practice Leader, Patriot Labs Health. “One of our primary goals behind the Prism service is to reduce the risk of poor technology selection, while optimizing the organization’s technology adoption strategy.”

Prism is an independent, technology-agnostic expert assessment designed to evaluate any healthIT solution and determine true feasibility. Patriot Labs Health works closely with ACOs, hospital systems, health care organizations, and government health agencies to examine technological and organizational initiatives and determine the best path for enhanced benefits realization and ROI. Based on our proprietary solution assessment methodology, Prism incorporates budget, financial, and impact analysis, along with client-tailored needs assessment, technology mapping, and solution selection decision-support necessary for optimized project results.

Prism Approach

Patriot Labs Health’s introduction of Prism is in direct response to increasing market demand, the growing complexity of health information technology, and the expanding number of vendors competing in the marketplace. Initial service offerings range from budget, financial, and impact analysis to client-tailored needs assessment, technology solution mapping and vendor selection decision support. Additional independent assessments support project recovery, gap fit analyses, and health IT quality assurance audits.

“The Prism service offering is a logical extension of our technology innovation and advisory services business. Considering existing market demand, this service should help us do an even better job of serving the needs of hospitals, health systems, physician groups and ACOs,” explained Ron Garnett, executive director, Patriot Labs. “We are very excited about this opportunity to further leverage our independent technology consulting services expertise.”

Patriot Labs Health is launching its expanded technology assessment capabilities under the leadership of Jed Batchelder, a healthcare consulting executive with over 13 years of progressive experience providing HIT expertise to large health systems, IPAs, ACOs and HCIT vendors. Jed, who recently joined the company as practice leader of Patriot Labs Health, previously served as strategic advisor to a physician ACO, where he supported the implementation of their clinical integration plans and oversaw the vendor selection process for both EHR and HIE.

“The opportunity to further build health technology services at Patriot Labs underscores the firm’s singular focus on providing its customers with the most comprehensive technology business case and budget justification assessments available today. I am confident that my experience as a technology consultant and health care practice lead, combined with Patriot Labs’s accrued knowledge, uniquely positions us to further connect with healthcare organizations and provide valuable insight simply not attainable elsewhere,” noted Jed Batchelder.
