As this renaissance brings bushel of opportunities for innovative companies that are focused on delivering value to its customers, SRIT, one such company, is taking the center stage.

Every time one visits SRIT, it is apparent that the company is passionate about creating a smarter healthcare system that embraces both electronic health & mobile health, in which the hospital/clinic and the citizen benefits; eventually leading to improving population health. While SRIT's illustrious Electronic Health Record happens to be just a small component of its end-to-end solution suite, the company is seen building ambulatory solutions that connect to the outside world & the hospital systems. Also working on components for Health Exchange and solutions around interoperability, SRIT seem to have built a communication portal for working around the data intelligence, and targeted towards servicing communities of health, to solve community issues.

Dr. Madhu Nambiar (CEO) doesn't believe that his competitors come from within his direct market. Though Dr. Nambiar did not want to be drawn into such discussions, Director Krishna Kumar was candid and elaborated the rationale, "The IMH hospitals group and Sunrise Hospitals Group engaged KPMG to evaluate six competing HIMS vendors. After thorough comparison of technology and technical merits, RHES got chosen. Within two months of its implementation, IMH-UAE won two prestigious awards from State Health Authorities for the hospitals' end-to-end process automation, and for Digitized Healthcare System. Thereafter, in consortium with SRIT, KPMG bid the eHealth system for the State of West Bengal and won (for this program, SRIT & KPMG have staffed about 175 technical and functional specialists)".

United Health Group (UHG) has also chosen SRIT as its consortium partner for joint bids in several countries. Besides empowering State of Karnataka's eKirana that facilitates remote reading, interpretations & reporting, substantiating the company's unique value proposition is the fact that many premier large medical college hospitals, be it the PGI or AIIMS, have chosen its end-to-end eHealth solution - all in 2014 & 2015. Empanelled by Indian Railway Telecommunication Corporation, SRIT will roll-out its eHealth book product on Railwire high-speed OFC-based broadband platform in February 2016. This puts SRIT in a clear-cut market leadership position for last mile delivery across homes, clinics & hospitals.

Future-Oriented Systems

For SRIT, which has about 400 people in eHealth & eGov, and backed by two leading industrialists,it's all about creating value for customers, making the product user-friendly, working on usability innovations, and solving customer issues. P. Manish says,"To
rapidly commission our health exchange, we are working with our overseas hospitals and in-country hospitals to achieve perfection in clinically-driven revenue cycle management. Dr. Shabeer Nellicode (Principal, Universal Hospitals Group) continues to invest ample time with us across several specialities, and help us to optimize the workflow at the point of care. We want to ensure that several innovative techniques like clinical decision support and payer-based care plans that are important to the consumer are incorporated into the hospital workflows".

Being future-oriented, SRIT's systems harmonize data from a variety of systems and pick data points from the aggregated data sets, and focuses on value-based care. SRIT's eHealth system provides clinical data, business data, and claims data from other systems to support the rapid changes in the care provider & care payer models. Selected SRIT for China, Southeast Asia, Africa & U.S., Dave Arnold, CEO, Hong Kong-based Vibrant Health says, "We chose SRIT's technology, products, and team because of exceptionally advanced features, world-class support, and the proper broad vision to become a managed service provider using the intelligence that comes from end-to-end data capture from a patient centric perspective, from home to clinic to hospital interactions".
