IT Optimizers

At IT Optimizers, we coordinate two critical themes in our service portfolio. The first is judgment. We apply experience. Our executives (who manage and perform detail tasks on our engagements) have managed information technology operations of scale, both routine and complex implementations and turn around projects.

Our team has former CIOs, COOs, CMOs, process excellence experts, and technical managers who have performed countless planning initiatives, large scale procurements, interim management assignments and diverse implementations. Our financial analysts have supported extensive cost-benefit analysis efforts, and have already tracked the ROI of technology projects… down to the dollar.

Our second theme is consistent, replicable quality, delivered through proven methodologies. We are co-developers and licensed users of Fulcrum Methods, a set of comprehensive information systems lifecycle and change management tools used by over 750 healthcare professionals who daily manage thousands of complex projects.

At IT Optimizers, using Fulcrum Methods in conjunction with our proven talent and project governance framework delivers immediate value to our clients while developing sustainable skills within our client organizations.

Maxwell IT

Practices and hospital outpatient clinics are dependent upon EHR software, and complex server environments to work efficiently, without interruption. Their templates, servers, and staff training must stay up-to-date. Ongoing vendor application and support issues must be resolved quickly with minimal impact to the administrator’s daily routine.

In many cases practices lack some or all of the following combination of skill sets to maintain their EHR/EPM system: IT system engineer, EHR/EPM trainer, technical and clinical project manager, and billing/coding specialist. That’s where we come in.

Maxwell IT provides the right mix of consulting and IT engineering support to practices at an affordable price. We are a cost effective alternative to hiring and maintaining a full-time staff of specialists. Our team of experienced and knowledgeable consultants, trainers, project managers and IT engineers can quickly turnaround technology inefficiencies in the practice. We lower your operation costs and increase your EHR/EPM investment results.
