45% decrease in time to market
HMA was one of the largest for-profit hospital chains in the US with 72 hospitals serving mostly rural areas.
OPPORTUNITY
Kickdrum ran the innovation lab and enterprise architecture practice for a large Fortune 500 hospital chain.
RESULTS
High Availability Healthcare Platform
We increased the security of HMA’s data center and moved cloud-friendly workloads to AWS for upgrades in performance, reliability and uptime. The result: Five 9’s and HIPAA compliant all the way. We patented this previously unseen approach to healthcare infrastructure.
Innovative New Clinical Applications
We brought a user-centered approach to HMA where we designed, prototyped and deployed eight different clinical, business, IP, and HR applications. We unlocked low cost hospital deployments on ChromeBooks, iPads, iPods, and physicians’ personal devices.
A Platform For Innovation
We wrapped legacy data sources in modern APIs to decrease developer ramp time and slash time to market for newly developed applications. We combined SQL and NoSQL databases to enhance replication, optimize retrieval time and increase data correctness across clinical apps.
“Kickdrum was an outstanding development partner. In fact, their end-to-end approach combined with strong communication and consistent execution were the reason that Kickdrum was the only partner we classified as strategic!”
