The integrator joins a select group of companies participating in the HIMSS Certified program promoted by HIMSS, an organization focused on improving health through technology.
São Paulo, May 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown the world the urgency of spreading the use of technology in the health sector to increase the possibilities of saving lives. Telemedicine, more accurate tests and diagnoses, significantly more agile and comprehensive information systems are just some of the possibilities of this new era. This scenario means that healthcare organizations are racing to comply with the latest concepts of so-called digital hospitals. To this end, healthcare solutions integrator Conversys IT Solutions has joined the HIMSS Certified program.
Following the knowledge imparted during an extensive training process, Conversys is now a company recognized by HIMSS Analytics, able to help its clients follow the HIMSS Analytics maturity guides. Thanks to this recognition, the company is able to help hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other national medical services companies improve their infrastructures so that they become HIMSS-recognized digital institutions.
Eduardo Primolini, leader of Conversys' healthcare vertical, explains that in order to certify an institution according to the INFRAM model, HIMSS observes a strict evaluation process that takes into account aspects such as data center, security, collaborative structure, wireless network access and data traffic management. According to him, the efficiency of these structures is classified into eight levels, and only after reaching levels six and seven are they able to undergo audits to verify the information provided.
"These are strict criteria that require a precise diagnosis and detailed planning with short-, medium- and long-term actions to achieve the goal while optimizing time and resources. We are proud to be part of the HIMSS Certified program and to help Brazilian institutions in the digital transformation process, with specialized consultancy to obtain certification," he says.
The Conversys executive comments that the training process to enter the HIMSS Certified program was provided by FOLKS, the official and exclusive representative of HIMSS Analytics for Latin America.
"It's gratifying to participate in the training process of a company like Conversys. A company capable of delivering customized solutions in the areas of IT and Telecom infrastructure, thus making the connection with important points of the HIMSS Analytics INFRAM certification. This training represents an important boost in the advancement of digital health maturity rates in the country," says Claudio Giulliano, director of FOLKS.
Currently, Latin America has only twenty-four hospitals at stage 6 and ten hospitals at stage 7 of the EMRAM certification, HIMSS Analytics' guide to implementing electronic medical records in hospitalized institutions.
According to Conversys' commercial director, Carlos Sega, the short time the certification has existed and the figures for its granting on the continent show that there is a great opportunity to significantly increase the number of digital hospitals in the country. "We are ready to help Brazilian institutions develop precise roadmaps to pave their digital transformation journeys. The benefits of this evolution will certainly be distributed throughout Brazilian society," he concluded.
