Right Eye @RightEyeInsight

Hospitals are under enormous pressure to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve

patient safety and satisfaction. Technology is supposed to help—but after investing millions of dollars in EHR, CPOE, Scheduling, and other IT systems, hospitals find that these systems do not “talk” to each other. To address this challenge, we developed a clinical workflow software, OPTIMI$ER, that interfaces or “talks” to existing IT systems to streamline clinical processes, eliminate pain points, and put clinicians, support staff, equipment, transportation, and patients in the right place at the right time.
